Official 2009 NBA Draft Day Thread

[CGD]

Nando...

[benefactor]

Hairston > Green.
You're probably right.

[Agloco]

WTF? How does Stu actually get this job if he doesn't know about Brown as a player?

That's why Bilas, Van Gundy and Jackson are with him. Stu gets paid to keep the car on the road, not to fill the tank up.

[spurspokesman]

Pop better play blair. Damn I cant wait. Sorry to get off current subject

[Blackjack]

Hairston > Green.

:tu

[Spursfan092120]

You know..for someone who is supposed to be a Spurs fan, where the hell is KBP?

[kbrury]

Hairston > Green.:tu

[vander]

lets take a Center: The Russian[edit: UKrainian], or the Utah guy, or the Dutch guy
you can't teach size :lol

[PBEEZY]

Im hoping with get mills now as a solid back up pg...hope hes still there by 51

[Spurtacus]

If Pop wanted Green we would have traded up to get up. No sense in being greedy with two late picks after we grabbed a steal at #37.

[yavozerb]

I just hope Mahinmi doesn't get hurt by blair in practice!!lol

[bigdog]

Maybe Mills will fall to us...but then what happens to Hill if we get Mills?

[Spursfan092120]

That's why Bilas, Van Gundy and Jackson are with him. Stu gets paid to keep the car on the road, not to fill the tank up.
no way that fucker can drive with that eye of his...

[Drom John]

Green > Udoka

[EricB]

I am really starting to get the feeling these final two picks will be stash picks.


:lol

Yeah cause teams get 51st and 53rd picks and they turn into immediate contributers so often :lol

[kobyz]

Green to the Suns i think

[Spursfan092120]

Maybe Mills will fall to us...but then what happens to Hill if we get Mills?
one of them takes a 10 hour trip to Austin...if the traffic is bad.

[Biggems]

lol, all of a sudden he's a solid defender

yes solid...he wasnt great like Rodman or anything, but he used his girth to his advantage. he did a great job of boxing out. he played the passing lanes well for a big man. he got lots of weakside blocked shots.

Barkley had the ability to be a great defender, but he didnt focus on it as much. He focused more on rebounding and scoring than on being a great one on one defender.

[loveforthegame]

Mills, McClinton, Heyvelt, De Colo, Nihvins, Gladyr would be solid picks.

[benefactor]

Green > Udoka
Me > Udoka

[kbrury]

Maybe Mills will fall to us...but then what happens to Hill if we get Mills?
we can have both :king they would be a terrific fast break duo

[Russ]

You know..for someone who is supposed to be a Spurs fan, where the hell is KBP?

KBP is laying low -- he thinks that he will be picked by the Spurs at 51 and doesn't want to jinx it.

[Biggems]

I really wish Green would have fallen to us at 51.

I guess Nando de Colo will be one of our picks now

[Agloco]

Might Blair need to shed about 10 pounds or so to keep up with the fours of the NBA? Or does he have good quickness already?

Less weight will benefit those knees in the long run either way.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Me > Udoka

:lol

[MaNu4Tres]

Ahmad Nivins at 51 or 53 please Spurs.

[kbrury]

Ahmad Nivins at 51 or 53 please Spurs.

agreed

[Chomag]

Hairston > Green.

Without a doubt however we don't have Hairston...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Supposedly the Amare to GS talks have stalled because Warriors refuse to give up Curry.

[Darkwaters]

Pop better play blair. Damn I cant wait. Sorry to get off current subject

At this point I don't think he has much of a choice. He has Duncan, Bonner and Mahinmi in the post. And Mahinmi seems intent on never amounting to much of anything.

[Spursfan092120]

KBP is laying low -- he thinks that he will be picked by the Spurs at 51 and doesn't want to jinx it.
he's waiting for us to draft Ianionowniono Thaftalwoicmlaowijojgoloupolis

[Thompson]

I really want Gladyr, from what I've heard about him having Mahinmi's agent.

NBAdraft.net has a poll on the biggest surprise to fall out of the first round. Blair 80%, Green 20%.

[GSH]

The most important thing about Blair isn't his wingspan. It's his standing reach of 8'10.5". Some of these guys have short necks - no kidding. I saw a really good article about it, that some guys are essentially 3"-4" shorter because of it. And that's why they play so much taller, because they are taller where it matters - from the shoulders down.

To give you some idea, Griffin and Jordan Hill are both listed at 6'10", but Griffin has a standing reach of 8'9", and Hill has a standing reach of 9'0". That puts Blair exactly in the middle of those two, and it means that should be able to play as big as they do. It doesn't matter where the top of your head is, just where the tip of your fingers are.

[mudyez]

I'm fine ith two stach picks!

couldnt have hoped for more that what happened

[Obstructed_View]

Might Blair need to shed about 10 pounds or so to keep up with the fours of the NBA? Or does he have good quickness already?

Less weight will benefit those knees in the long run either way.

The Spurs get back on defense, especially their bigs. Who does he have to keep up with?

[Das Texan]

I hope we take someone that nobody has heard of at 51 and 53.

[mardigan]

Henk Norel

3 more to go

[Obstructed_View]

Without a doubt however we don't have Hairston...

I expect him to get a phone call tonight. This has worked out perfectly for him.

[vander]

dammit! the Dutch guy's gone

[Knoxxx]

Look for an overseas prospect to incubate, and one more US player.

[mudyez]

norel would have been nice fo us

[SPURSGOAT]

no way that fucker can drive with that eye of his...

haha! man, that eye always freaks me out... :wow

[bdictjames]

Draft an unknown and let them stay in the Europe! Could be the next Manu

[mardigan]

Taylor Griffin to Suns

[Mugen]

the suns get griffin!

[Spursfan092120]

Blake's brother is gone.

[benefactor]

Suns take the "other" Griffin.

[MI21]

Come on Patty Mills...

[Obstructed_View]

Taylor Griffin to Suns

Steve Kerr loves picking the sucky brother.

[Bruno]

After the bad Lopez, the bad Griffin. :downspin:

[Spursfan092120]

Suns again get the shitty brother...lol

[Mel_13]

Suns with the lesser Griffin to join the lesser Lopez

[loveforthegame]

Could the Spurs be so damn lucky to get two bigs in Blair and Heyvelt?

[manufan10]

he's waiting for us to draft Ianionowniono Thaftalwoicmlaowijojgoloupolis

How do you pronounce that?

[benefactor]

Mills just two picks away...

[Russ]

Draft an unknown and let them stay in the Europe! Could be the next Manu

Them days is gone.

[EricB]

Suns always get the stiffier brothers.

Robin Lopez

Taylor Griffen :lol

[GSH]

Might Blair need to shed about 10 pounds or so to keep up with the fours of the NBA? Or does he have good quickness already?

Less weight will benefit those knees in the long run either way.

His lane agility is in between Griffin and Jordan Hill. But his 3/4 court sprint is slow, and his no-step vertical is way short. He could stand to lose a few pounds.

[phyzik]

So what are we hoping for now?

Havnt been paying too much attention since we landed Blair.

[symple19]

Pop better play blair. Damn I cant wait. Sorry to get off current subject
He won't be able to NOT play Blair.He'll prove himself early on.....I'm stoked beyond belief. Our FO is the best! I live in Warriors land and I appreciate our FO sooo much. :toast to everyone! yeeee-hawww

[50 cent]

Patrick Mills....come on!!!!!

[benefactor]

Suns again get the shitty brother...lol
:lol

[Spursfan092120]

How do you pronounce that?
umm....exactly how it's spelled. :D

[tmtcsc]

Supposedly the Amare to GS talks have stalled because Warriors refuse to give up Curry.

Wow, I haven't seen anything about that at all.

[bdictjames]

How do you pronounce that?
Ask KBP.
:lol

[Chomag]

Still hoping that our FO makes a move to get young. He might be as good as Ariza.

[Das Texan]

man Steve Kerr fucking kicks ass as a GM!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Come on ... Mills, Heyvelt, or Nihvins

[Knoxxx]

Come on Patty Mills...

I see Mills #30 on one mock, then not drafted on another.

[urunobili]

Mills would be perfect...

[mardigan]

Get dunked on by Patrick Chewing.

[Spurtacus]

A.J. Abrams at 53!!!





















Just kidding. :)

[kbrury]

Patty Mills 51
Ahmad Nivins 53

[objective]

Ohhhhhhhh . . . Fernando!

[SPURSGOAT]

I love that snickers commercial... haha! cracks me up every time..

[symple19]

somebody mentioned Heytvelt. A hard worker but has issues in his past which the Spurs may stay away from. He's been working out with that maniac that trains Blake Griffin

[DPG21920]

Did anyone else hear Bilas say Blair lost like 30 pounds?

[bigdog]

Come on ... Mills, Heyvelt, or Nihvins

the only thing that bothers me about Heyvelt is that drug bust a while back

[Obstructed_View]

Ask KBP.
:lol

You is Lires and Assholes.

[Ocotillo]

Hawks get Gladyr

[benefactor]

Mills at 51 and de Colo or Gladyr at 53.

[spursbird]

Rockets traded for Budinger?

[Knoxxx]

Come on ... Mills, Heyvelt, or Nihvins

At least one is there for the taking...

[Spurtacus]

Did anyone else hear Bilas say Blair lost like 30 pounds?

Since high school I believe.

[loveforthegame]

somebody mentioned Heytvelt. A hard worker but has issues in his past which the Spurs may stay away from. He's been working out with that maniac that trains Blake Griffin

I've been mentioning him. I think it would be worth the gamble with one of our later picks. 2 bigs would be unexpected but a welcome for sure.

[tav1]

I'm calling Nando De Colo and Joe Ingles.

[GSH]

You is Lires and Assholes.

This sig's for you, KBP.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

A PG to replace Vaughn? Mills is a PG right?

[timvp]

Gladyr is gone.

Let's get Mills at 51 :hungry:

[Spursfan092120]

Did anyone else hear Bilas say Blair lost like 30 pounds?
Yeah..it was 20 lbs.

[PBEEZY]

mills at 51 come on

[Knoxxx]

Rockets traded for Budinger?

Have to love a white guy with 40 inch vertical!

[Mal]

Gladyr gone

[Russ]

Too bad.

[Darkwaters]

At least one is there for the taking...

You might be able to get 2 of the 3. If you add Nando de Colo to the mix you definitely can.

[mardigan]

Sutan

[Spurtacus]

I forgot all about Suton.

[urunobili]

Damn i had the Spurs picking him with our last pick... :depressed

[Marcus Bryant]

lol jazz take the big white guy

[benefactor]

Jazz with the big white guy...Yes!

[Mal]

Mills avaible at 51

[PBEEZY]

we up...take mills take mills

[Knoxxx]

Looks like another big with potential and a PG (Mills) too?

[Biggems]

Ahmad Nivins please

[loveforthegame]

Mills, Heyvelt, and Nihvins are there for the taking.

[50 cent]

Come on SPURS-----MILLS!!!!!!

[urunobili]

plz make it Mills Pop... :pop:

[Darkwaters]

Mills and De Colo....make it so

[kbrury]

What's with the scouting done by some of these teams? The Spurs can grab a combo of Josh, Summers and Mills with their next two picks.
summers?

[benefactor]

lol jazz take the big white guy
Gotta keep the locals happy, you know.

[Spursfan092120]

Alright..here's our pick.

[timvp]

Mills to replace Speedy.

Come on.

[Spurtacus]

Another quick pick!

[bigdog]

McClinton

[urunobili]

WTF? :pctoss

[Das Texan]

lol jazz take the big white guy



never would have guessed that in a million years.

[mardigan]

Wow

[Blackjack]

If Pop wants his Eddie House, McClimton's hi man.

Mills has more upside probably and an Aussie on the coaching staff probably in his corner.

[Spursfan092120]

Hmm....nice pick.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jack McClinton?

[Spurtacus]

Who???

[kbrury]

not bad i guess mclinton

[phyzik]

16 tatoos! :wow

trade pick?

[symple19]

I've been mentioning him. I think it would be worth the gamble with one of our later picks. 2 bigs would be unexpected but a welcome for sure.
I agree man - I think he's (heytvelt) worth the risk also. He can shoot from outside as well. Would need to bulk up a bit but does have somewhat of a low-post game.

[timvp]

Not bad :tu

Very good shooter.

[loveforthegame]

Hmm, not a bad pick. Could it be for someone else?

[Obstructed_View]

Okay, they had to do it to us, right?

[benefactor]

Wow...Spurs going domestic.

[Mugen]

lollerskates.

[Biggems]

ok this sucks

[Spursfan092120]

I think this guy could actually be a good pick.

[Das Texan]

i guess we liked mcclinton over mills.

[Spurtacus]

Spurs trying to fill their tatoo quota with this guy...

[urunobili]

McClinton?

[Spursfan092120]

Not bad :tu

Very good shooter.
my thought's exactly..and we have another pick right after this.

[mardigan]

Not bad :tu

Very good shooter.

Great athlete too, I like it.

[Darkwaters]

Jack McClinton

[vander]

meh, won't make the team

[SPURSGOAT]

dang! backup pg.... guess Hill will be playing SG or is going to be traded....

[benefactor]

Really not a surprising pick. Pop loves shooters.

[timvp]

Now that I think about it, McClinton can play a Pargo role.

[loveforthegame]

What's this mean for Mason?

[symple19]

what do you guys think? I don't know this guy to well

[Blackjack]

I think I called that.:smokin

[GSH]

Okay, I'm back on familiar ground now. I'm more used to everyone saying WTF after the Spurs pick.

[manufan10]

Who?

[exstatic]

EXCELLENT pick. McClinton is being touted as one of 3-5 sleepers in the second round this year. If he were 6'4" he'd have gone lottery.

[phyzik]

ok, now to get Mills.

[Spurtacus]

and we're up again

[Spursfan092120]

i guess we liked mcclinton over mills.
I do.

[Mel_13]

Didn't McClinton win the NCAA 3 pt contest?

[Horry For 3!]

I like the Spurs picks so far

[Spursfan092120]

Maybe we get Mills now.

[objective]

not impressed

[EricB]

Mclinton= Nate Robinson

If he has the right attitude, could develop into a solid 3rd point.

[benefactor]

Nivins anyone?

[loveforthegame]

It'll be interesting to see who the Spurs go with here.

[Spursfan092120]

Didn't McClinton win the NCAA 3 pt contest?
I'm pretty sure he did..

[symple19]

FUCK YES. I HAVE BEEN CALLING THIS SHIT. BEST DRAFT EVER.

BLAIR AND MCLINTON?

holy shit, thats amazing.
talk to me about Mclinton

[bigdog]

What's this mean for Mason?

nothing. McClinton won't be a SG in the NBA.

he's more of a shooting PG. he's onlt 6 ft tall

[timvp]

McClinton was rumored to go as high as the end of the first. Spurs needed shooters. Pop likes point guards who like to shoot often.

Like the pick :tu

[kbrury]

instant offense type guy, DX says he is one of the most efficient shooters

[Spursfan092120]

Mclinton= Nate Robinson

If he has the right attitude, could develop into a solid 3rd point.
Is one hell of a shooter.

[Obstructed_View]

The Spurs still have their choice at 53. Holy shit.

[Spurtacus]

Similarities: Salim Stoudemire

# Big time 3-point shooter
# Deep range on his jumper
# Good midrange game
# Good motor

Negatives:

# Undersized for his position
# A little one-dimensional
# Doesn't attack the basket
# Not athletic enough to finish at the rim

Summary: June 2 Update: In the lane-agility test, McClinton had the best score, finishing the drill in 10.44 seconds. See the full combine story

June 1 Update: Finally, Miami's Jack McClinton wants a do-over in the measurements. He measured under 6 feet in socks and just a little under 6-1 in shoes, which were essentially the same measurements as Syracuse's Jonny Flynn. However, McClinton insisted to me that he's an inch taller than Flynn. I think he's right. He went up to Flynn, they stood back-to-back and McClinton definitely looked taller. Either McClinton hunched in the measurement or Flynn stood on his tippy-toes. See the full Chad Ford notebook

Jan 2 Update: McClinton is having a terrific season, improving on his numbers across the board. But his lack of size, elite athleticism or off the dribble game pigeon hole him as an undersized shooter. Think Salim Stoudemire.

[loveforthegame]

Nivins anyone?

I'd be happy with that or Heyvelt.

[timvp]

Commercial pick.

Dammit.

[exstatic]

dang! backup pg.... guess Hill will be playing SG or is going to be traded....

McC is NO PG. He's an Eddie House style scoring small guard.

[kbrury]

dang! backup pg.... guess Hill will be playing SG or is going to be traded....

hes more of a sg hill will be fine

[Buddy Holly]

dang! backup pg.... guess Hill will be playing SG or is going to be traded....

Or he takes the JV role. The backup's backup. Also double up as the backup's backup at the 2.

[oligarchy]

johnson?

[Darkwaters]

Nando de Colo time

[bigdog]

He's a very good shooter. I can see him coming off a lot of screens for some open shots.

[Spursfan092120]

AAAAND the Spurs pick will be during commercial..lol

[PBEEZY]

great its a commerical gonna miss the last pick

[urunobili]

come on Pop give us Mills!!!

[mardigan]

http://espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=23242
McClinton

[SPURSGOAT]

nooooo!!!! friggn commercial break for our last pick.... grrr!!!!

[Knoxxx]

Hmmmmmmm

[manufan10]

Don't got to commercial.. the damn Spurs are next!

[urunobili]

who did we get????

[symple19]

sounds good. I seem to recall Miami scoring a lot of points. If he can fill it up from deep then I'm down

[EricB]

Mclinton could take over that third point guard spot MAYBE.

He reminds me ALOT of Nate Robinson. Especially with that 35 inch verticle.

[coyotes_geek]

Spurs can't go a draft without taking at least one draft and stash guy, can they?

[Biggems]

I knew it would be Nando de Colo

[Mel_13]

Nandoooooooooo

[Spursfan092120]

Good pick...VERY good pick.

[Das Texan]

de colo it is.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

LOL I knew it. Spurs just couldn't go full domestic.

[mardigan]

Mclinton could take over that third point guard spot MAYBE.

He reminds me ALOT of Nate Robinson. Especially with that 35 inch verticle.

Except that he can shoot.

[bigdog]

well...there's the draft. we got De Colo

[symple19]

LOL, there's your stash pick TimVP

[exstatic]

instant offense type guy, DX says he is one of the most efficient shooters

His efficiency number in all facets (P'n'R, pullup, uncontested, driving) are off the charts.

[Obstructed_View]

Nando de Colo

[phyzik]

De Colo

[Blackjack]

Now that I think about it, McClinton can play a Pargo role.

More House to me, which is why I've been suggesting the Spurs would pick him. Pop made no secret last year that he wanted his own E. House (thus Salim Stoudamire) and I figured McClinton was that guy.

Plus, he made sure of mentioning the Spurs and Duncan as being the type of situation that would benefit him.

[benefactor]

de Colo...no surprise there.

[timvp]

Nando De Colo.

Great damn draft.

[pad300]

Mcclinton ahead of Hudson on the Spurs draft board; interesting...

[EricB]

De Colo goes 53rd to the Spurs


Another point guard?

Looks like a draft and stash there...

[ffadicted]

Don't know this guy, was this a good pick anyone? Tell me some facts, talk to me

[nhan]

The Spurs draft was amazing this year.

[loveforthegame]

The stash pick.

I was hoping for Nihvins or Heyvelt. Oh well.

[Spursfan092120]

Nando De Colo.

Great damn draft.
agreed 100% best one in a while.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn. For the first time in a while, the Spurs were freaking nails on draft night.

Probably means they will trade them all by morning :lol

[timvp]

De Colo was such a Spurs pick. RC no doubt loved his pick-and-roll ability.

[Libri]

Mclinton could take over that third point guard spot MAYBE.

He reminds me ALOT of Nate Robinson. Especially with that 35 inch verticle.

That's what I was thinking, competition for the 3rd string pg.

[Biggems]

I would have preferred Nivins to McClinton

[Darkwaters]

Sweet. Mister de Colo

[EricB]

Getting De Colo at 53 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> getting De Colo at 37

[Knoxxx]

39. Jack McClinton, G, Miami - He can add nine points in three shots off the bench.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/205583-2009-nba-draft-big-board-top-70-prospects

Looks like good value...

[Obstructed_View]

This is going to be the best fucking summer league ever.

[mardigan]

Hmm, dont know much at all about Nando. But his names cool.

[Bruno]

De Colo. :tu

[PBEEZY]

Well blairs pick alone was worth staying up till 20 to 5

[Spursmania]

A damn good draft!

[024]

hey they picked beno 2.0.

[kbrury]

jack McClinton makes since given his ability to spread the floor with his shooting. Now pick Summers and I give the Spurs a solid A.

he was already picked man and we just used our last pick

[bigdog]

Overall, I'm going to call it a very very good draft. I love Blair, really like McClinton, and De Colo has some potential as a draft-n-stash.

[SPURSGOAT]

nana de colo!?

[Spurtacus]

de Colo



Positives:
# Crafty combo guard who thrives at slashing to the basket
# Fun player to watch; has a lot of charisma
# Really sees the floor well
# Fantastic poise
# A leader
# Excellent shooter with range
# Great size if he plays the point guard position

Negatives:

# Lacks great lateral quickness
# Not explosive athletically
# Gets exposed on the defensive end of the floor.

Summary: Jun 8 Update: De Colo was the big surprise at the camp. NBA scouts have been following him for a couple of years, and a number of NBA execs reported that he looked good in the group workouts in Minnesota last week. But he was borderline spectacular at the Eurocamp. He torched Mills' team on Day 1, leading his team to a 20-point blowout. And his production (13 points, 4 assists, 4 steals) didn't tell the whole story -- his floor vision, pacing and defense dictated the course of the whole game. De Colo kept it up in a second game Saturday and two more Sunday. He looked like the best pure point guard in the camp.

Scouts love his size and swagger, and he really shot the lights out during camp, making 65 percent from the field. While those who watched him in France all year worry he lacks the lateral quickness to defend the quicker guards in the NBA, he seemed to hold his own against Mills and, to a lesser extent, Beverley. De Colo was the other guy who looked like he could be a legit late-first-round prospect, with a few caveats. First, the word in the camp was that De Colo might have jumped the gun and signed a pro contract in Europe, which could keep him out of the league for a few years. Second, several GMs wanted to go back and take a closer look at his game film from this year. De Colo was up and down all year, and they want to get a better look at how his season went. But overall, no one helped his stock more than De Colo. He went from a borderline second-round prospect to getting some legit buzz in the late-first to early-second rounds.

Jan 2 Update: De Colo is a great talent on the offensive end of the floor, but defensively, who will he guard in the pros? He's an interesting prospect, but he's probably a second-round pick this year.

[ffadicted]

Sweet! lol... Called De Colo before the draft even started, everyone did basically. Solid pick for the future.

Overall, I'd give the spurs an A- in the draft. Great pick with Blair, but idk about McC. De Colo is a good investment

[objective]

De Colo !

That crazy reckless bastard is ours! I'm not worried about his athleticism, it's the aneurisym he'll give Pop during a 2-0 fast break when he does a 360 leaping wrap around behind the head pass.

[Darkwaters]

Spurs can't go a draft without taking at least one draft and stash guy, can they?

Holy shit...it was the 53 pick. We'd be lucky if the guy made the team at that range. Especially considering we already have two rookies.

[Mugen]

on paper alone, this draft has been a success. well done FO.

[Mel_13]

de Colo competed for the French National Team in the European Championships, playing alongside San Antonio's Tony Parker in the backcourt. In six contests, de Colo produced 73 points (12.2 per game), shooting 81% from the foul line. He pulled down 20 rebounds and handed out eight assists, pacing the team with 11 steals.

In 51 games during 2008-09 French Pro A, European Championships, Eurocup and Euro-Challenge competition, de Colo generated a total of 713 points (14.0 per game), including an average of 14.8 points per game in 31 French League competition, earning Pro A MVP recognition. For his combined schedule, he also boasted averages of 3.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

[bigdog]

did they just say that De Colo is there at the draft? Must have been a promised pick.

[Bruno]

Let's see now if Spurs keep their picks and/or get other picks.

[manufan10]

Jay Bilas just said that, "He CAN ACTUALLY make this team.." about De Colo.. what about Blair?

[Spurtacus]

Not sold on McClinton but I like the De Colo pick.

[kbrury]

I really like Jack Mcclinton, just read the DX article on him

[Spurtacus]

Blazers got Mills.

[angelbelow]

cool name =)

[benefactor]

Damn...Blazers took Mills.

[exstatic]

Nando De Colo.

Great damn draft.

No shit. Considering there was no pick in the top half of the draft, two of these guys should make the club. I'm assuming De Colo is a draft'n'stash.

[GSH]

I didn't think there was much room in the NBA for a 6'0" guy who can't run the point. They talk about 6'3" guys being too short to play the 2 in the NBA. I know he's a good, quick defender, but that puts two little guys on the floor.

Maybe he's in when Manu is running the point? I don't know... that's really a specialist.

[mardigan]

Mcclinton is about a 1000x better shooter than Hill is. McClintons ability to pull up and drive with turnover ratio was off the charts. He is a really really underrated player.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUih97fU8Bs

Watch

I agree with you, man he's a really solid player. Pretty damn good handles, and is actually pretty good a dishing the ball too. I really hope he makes the team, instant offense kind of guy.

[Kindergarten Cop]

LOL at the chubby guy in the Tony Parker jersey behind Patrick Mills.

[Spursfan092120]

What is the difference between speed and quickness? Seriously.

McClinton looks like a Paolo Quinteros type of player... I think the only way he makes the roster is if he shoots lights out in the summer league.

[EricB]

I think McClinton could challenge for that third point guard spot, while De Colo stays in France for a year probobly.

Dude looks like has pipe cleaners for arms.

Jay Bilas just said that, "He CAN ACTUALLY make this team.." about De Colo.. what about Blair?

one of the guys said that Pop will love blair

[gaKNOW!blee]

Never heard of De lo colo....any info on him?

[Blackjack]

How ridiculous do the past 2 drafts look for the Spurs?(And with only one late-first and 5 second-rounders:hungry:)

De Colo taken with the pick obtained in the Scola trade

[Spursfan092120]

McClinton seems to have a REALLY quick release.

[bigdog]

McClinton should have a decent chance to make the team. I hope he is on the Summer League roster and shoots well.

[scottspurs]

3 Solid second round picks for the spurs great job FO!

[benefactor]

Blair is going to bring mass destruction to opposing SL teams this year.

If De Colo doesn't sign with Spurs, he will go to Valencia. Valencia is coached by Neven Spahija, Pop's friend.
