I know this is way too early to be thinking about this, but since we didn't get a PF or C in the draft this year, I figured I would look ahead to next year's draft. I usually don't follow college basketball much, but I will next year just to keep an eye on the following players:
Cody Zeller (Indiana)
Nerlens Noel (Kentucky)
Isaiah Austin (Baylor)
Kaleb Tarczewski (Arizona)
Steven Adams (Pittsburgh)
Cameron Ridley (Texas)
Yes, these are all big men in case you didn't know. Since they all might either be out of reach or might not come out next year, I also have my eye on another big man prospect who I like just as much as I like the top 2 names on this list. His name is Rudy Gobert (props to Bruno for suggesting him to me), and he is from France. He is also considered the best international prospect. He's 7'0", right now only 225lbs., can play PF or C, can jump out of the gym, has some quickness, can rebound, and block shots, but is still raw on offense. I think he would be an excellent fit next to Tim Duncan next year if we can get him. I also feel like if the Spurs really want to show their appreciation for TD, they would find a way to get him the proper help in the frontcourt, especially a young athletic PF/C that he can mentor into being his successor after he retires.
