Give me one of these two guys plz.

[yavozerb]

my top 2:

Allen Crabbe
Tony Snell

[look_at_g_shred]

Ledo, Dieng, Muscala, Snell .

[SpursDynasty21]

Brandon Paul or Seth Curry would be great in the second round.

[Ditty]

Who I think we wll pick:
1st: Livio Jean Charles
2nd: Myck Kabongo

Who I want us to pick:
1st:Giannas Adetokunbo
2nd:Archie Goodwin

[RD2191]

Ricky Ricardo Ledo :hat

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Adetokunbo, Dieng, Muscala

I want Franklin to fall, but I'd be ok with Snell. A big is a wasted pick IMO. Spurs can fill the 5th big role they need in FA.

Just sayin, but Diaw still hasn't picked up his option which I find kind of odd. Could be something there we don't know? Doubt it but still weird.

[Whataburger]

Jean- Charles, Banks, Ledo, Snell.
One of these will be available at #28. I hoping it's Snell

[benefactor]

He will. Pretty sure he wants to stay here with Parker and his chances of that are better if he waits until after the draft to pick up his option so he doesn't get traded.

Doesn't want to get traded tonight...

[DesignatedT]

Yeah makes sense.

[loveforthegame]

I'd be happy with one of these guys: Snell, Crabbe, Franklin.

[McGusto55]

Do yall see any trades happing?Really thats the only reason i watch the draft...

[bthewigwam]

espn did a players draft where a player from each team made the pick. Bonner made ours and took Nate Wolters (haven't seen too much about him on here?)

28. Nate Wolters, G, South Dakota State

Selected by: Matt Bonner

"At the point guard spot, Wolters seems capable of doing a little bit of everything: He can facilitate, score and shoot from the perimeter," Bonner says of the Jackrabbits senior, who averaged 22.3 points, 5.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds and led the Summit League in PER (32.0), assist percentage (34.3), points per game (22.3), offensive rating (126.9) and win shares (8.6) last season. "To make it this far from a place like South Dakota State, I'm sure he has a crazy work ethic, too, and that fits right in with the Spurs way -- everybody doing everything they can to help the team win."

[RD2191]

Wouldn't mind Snell either.

[ElNono]

I think we're going with Tzolidis Myasnikovich from Belarus, IMO.

[ducks]

I want to trade the pick for alridge

[benefactor]

ducks with the riveting take. Will bookmark and share with friends, family and co-workers.

[Andthentherewas21]

Not sure the route the Spurs go, but this could be an interesting Draft night.

Several possible trades, tons of teams trying to get lower in the draft or out of it all together, star players possibly on the move (LA, KG, Pierce, Deng, ect). Could be an interesting night. My picks: Crabbe, Muscala, or Snell.

[boutons_deux]

always amusing, ST picks are nearly always NOT the Spurs picks. :lol

No clue who the Spurs will pick. No. Clue.

[TheyCallMePro]

I'd be thrilled to get Dieng or Wolters. Knowing the Spurs, if either of these two are still on the board by #28 then I definitely think they'll snatch them up. That said, if they aren't...then were probably going to go with that Livean-Jean Charles guy from France and stash him overseas.

I think the Spurs porbably have a list. I think they'd love to take some of the athletic wings too like Muhammed, Franklin, Kerasev, etc, but none of them will probably be available.

My prediction: A big man. It'll either be Dieng (if he's still there) Muscala (he'll be there but he's soft...) Plumlee (please god yes) or Rudy fucking Gobert (He's a stick. No athletic ability whatsoever.)

Don't like Erick Green at all. He was the leading scorer on a bad team at Virginia Tech. He's also undersized, not athletic, and not a pure point guard. Hope we don't go full retard and draft a Green, Cannan, or some other small ass ball hog guard. Jesus that would be terrible. The last thing we need.

[urunobili]

Hoping Snell. It'll be something unknown as always TBH

[ChumpDumper]

always amusing, ST picks are nearly always NOT the Spurs picks. :lolIt would help me out of a few posters named players they think will be busts; I would be more inclined to want those players to be drafted by the Spurs.

[playblair]

erick green ...............

[BatManu20]

Gorgui Dieng
Tony Snell

Give me one of these two guys plz.

Agreed. Those are my favorites. Hope one of them falls to us and we pull the trigger.

[Captivus]

I may the only one that doesnt want the Spurs to pick Dieng...:depressed

[yavozerb]

I may the only one that doesnt want the Spurs to pick Dieng...:depressed

I am about 99% sure Dieng will not be around at 28.

[CitizenDwayne]

I have no faith at all that the Spurs could end up with Dieng, but that would be amazing.

And for those who are interested in Goodwin, why exactly? I watched several UK games last season, and he seems like the very definition of selfish, immature chucker. He has driving ability, but he turns it over like a mofo, and looks for contact instead of finishing. We already have Manu to fill that role.

[Tim_5rings]

not Gobert please :depressed

[objective]

I may the only one that doesnt want the Spurs to pick Dieng...:depressed

I don't like him either.

[Drom John]

#28 Muscala
#58 Stephens

[Captivus]

I don't like him either.

Its not that I dont like him. Looking at the last season I believe the Spurs have bigger needs.
IMO, I would try to pick a SG/SF that can handle the ball a little.

I guy that could play the 2 with Cojo and specially with Manu, so he doesnt have to run the offense by himself.
A guy that could replace Green or Kiwi if needed, and could play with both of them. Even a small lineup with Cojo-Manu-Pick.

Last season, every time Kiwi and Green were on the bench the team looked bad, not aggresive. Thats what I would try to solve with the pick...
And Im not asking a lot, just a guy that attacks the rim and can handle the ball a little.

[benefactor]

[Bruno]

I could see Spurs drafting another frenchie at #28 with Gobert or Jean-Charles. If Gobert slips and is available at #28, he would be a very nice gamble. Jean-Charles attitude is screaming he has received some kind of promise But I hope it isn't Spurs because i don't like his upside.

At #58, it would be a random draft and stash player. Spurs are kinda short on roster spots for next season so it seems the logical way to go.

[ChumpDumper]

What do people think of Tony Mitchell? From what little I've read, I'm thinking he might be a slight sleeper pick if you can blame his setbacks on the coaching change.

[jjktkk]

I read where he has maturity issues, but athletically this guy is solid.

Sacramento has been aggressive in trying to move up from seventh in the draft, league sources tell Y! Likely target: Ben McLemore.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Muscala, Carmichael, and Ledo are who I want.

[ChumpDumper]

I read where he has maturity issues, but athletically this guy is solid.Yeah, since there's nothing physically wrong with him, there's theoretically nothing completely preventing him from returning to his previous year's form -- and that would make a him a pretty strong pick. Could have just been a chemistry thing with the new coach; I'm sure scouts are checking all the angles.

[BatManu20]

Snell
Dieng
Ledo
Muscala
Crabbe


Those are my top choices in that order. Wouldn't be surprised if they take someone we haven't even mentioned or if they draft-and-stash a guy like Livio Jean-Charles or some other Euro.

[BatManu20]

Also not a big fan of Gobert. Hope we pass on him or he's gone when we're up.

Erick Green lol

I watched a long clip on Dieng today. That guy is a very quick, fast, athletic big man. Sort of reminded me of a poor man's Olajawon. Most mocks have him going early 20's. I wouldn't mind him slipping down to 28.

Honestly, I don't see either of those guys dropping anywhere near us at 28. Nogueira's size and athleticism are too great for even the dumbest teams to ignore. Mitchell seems ready to play and make an impact now too, which means every winning team who doesn't already have 3-4 legit bigs are gonna be looking at him.

I'd love to have either guy to replace Splitter, but we aren't gonna get them unless we trade up imo.

Maybe the Spurs will draft a Russian this time. Spurs' scout Trajan Langdon played for CSKA and Dynamo over his last 6 or 7 years, so maybe he has something of significance to bring to the table.

He's not only on the bust list, he's no where near the borderline at the start of the bust list. He has a negative score!!!! Not good.

Seeing as I believe in such statistical models, (I'm a numbers person) we don't want any of these for our pick.I'd like to see a link to their methodology if that's available. For one example, I don't know how much weight could be realistically given to stats for a guy like Glen Rice Jr. before, say, February of this season. His numbers from there through the D-League finals are pretty impressive and a decent sample size on its own.

[bluebellmaniac]

As usual.. no idea about the prospects, but everyone seems to be high on Dieng.. so I hope we get him too.

So, when the fuck does this shit actually start, tbh?

[mudyez]

10 more minutes.
Wo liebst du?

Thüringen...Bin krank und will nicht den Stream anmachen.

[Raven]

This. Teaming Oladipo with Irving would be pretty damn good...:tu

6-4 means he'll be a sg, they already drafted #4 another last year and it sort of panned out.. it would be retarded imho..

Lmao @ boos

[BatManu20]

Stern getting booed by Brooklyn lol.

[Nathan89]

I'm trying to enjoy the draft not relive the finals tbh.

[bluebellmaniac]

I'd like to see a link to their methodology if that's available. For one example, I don't know how much weight could be realistically given to stats for a guy like Glen Rice Jr. before, say, February of this season. His numbers from there through the D-League finals are pretty impressive and a decent sample size on its own.

Yup, seeing that would be great. It does sound like they are still tweaking, but when you can get some correlation going between the model used and history then it becomes a fun talking point.

Boos are Stern's Viagra

[benefactor]

He's used to it. He gets booed every year.

[DPG21920]

Don't take Noel CLE

[crc21209]

Can't for Stern's clown ass to be gone...

[crc21209]

Don't take Noel CLE

Yeah he seems like a bust to me...

[Raven]

He's used to it. He gets booed every year.

it was a lot better in the past years..

[mudyez]

If Irvin is ok with sucking one more year, I'd take Noel....otherwise trade or take Oladipo

[szkorhetz]

Yeah he seems like a bust to me...
Other than dribbling, how much worse is he compared to Davis? Nothing?

[Raven]

If Irvin is ok with sucking one more year, I'd take Noel....otherwise trade or take Oladipo

that's actually at least two years, one to recover and another to learn how to play.

Agreed. They really let him have it last year.

[BatManu20]

Watch Cleveland pick Anthony Bennett.

[crc21209]

Cavs take Anthony Bennett?

[siraulo23]

[DesignatedT]

Well throw all the mocks out.

[benefactor]

And it would be nice if you guys didn't spoil picks.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

OH BABY

[loveforthegame]

I thought it would take a few more picks before things shook up.

[Raven]

like the worst pick ever :lol

[ace3g]

Bracket Buster

[TE]

Dejuan Blair with a jumpshot tbh

[crc21209]

A PF? Don't the Cavs already have Varajeo, Thompson, and Zeller?

[RD2191]

Tf

[Nathan89]

Can I get a link for a credible up to date mock draft?

[Chinook]

See, had they drafted Valanciunas a couple of years ago, this would have been an all-right pick.

[bluebellmaniac]

Unbelievable!!!!!!

[crc21209]

And it would be nice if you guys didn't spoil picks.

I agree. None of that....

[TE]

And it would be nice if you guys didn't spoil picks.

This tbh...don't want this shit to be like the NFL draft thread

[phxspurfan]

Worst # 1 pick in recent history

[Ron Swanson]

Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria!

[DPG21920]

You finally have Tristan Thompson showing signs of life and you take this guy number one. What idiots :lol. Even if he turns out studly, lol. Why not trade the pick if you think this is the best you can get?

[PlayNando]

LMAO at a 6'7" PF going #1 in the draft.

[Stump]

The draft express mock had Bennett going #8. Wow.

[szkorhetz]

Dejuan Blair with a jumpshot tbh

This TBH, this is crazy.

[blkroadrunners]

Bennett must have been very impressive in the workouts.

[DesignatedT]

I think this will be traded.

[coyotes_geek]

You finally have Tristan Thompson showing signs of life and you take this guy number one. What idiots :lol. Even if he turns out studly, lol. Why not trade the pick if you think this is the best you can get?

No shit. What a ridiculous pick.

[BatManu20]

I said before the draft started that there were going to be a lot of shocking picks and trades, and this was a great start.

I love it. The NBA draft is just good television.

They said no trade.

[szkorhetz]

Olidapo.

[benefactor]

No trade. They have a player but I'm not saying who.

[siraulo23]

I think this will be traded.

cavs will keep the pick, lol

[BatManu20]

Oladipo is going here. Orlando loves him.

[benefactor]

350399261780885506
Could you not do that?

[crc21209]

I think this will be traded.

Who the hell would trade for him? :lol

[Raven]

if they think a 260 pounds player can guard the 3 they are fuckin retarded

:lmao

That's the Geno Smith "I'm about to fire my agent" look.

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit. I'm the biggest MWC homer on this site and no way I thought that was possible. :lmao

[ElNono]

Could you not do that?

why not?

[crc21209]

I think Noel falls and continues to fall in this draft....

[Chinook]

I don't like him all that much, but at least the Afflalo trade makes sense.

[elemento]

Thank god I am not a CLE fan. What a crap franchise

[benefactor]

Good choice. Kid will be a stud.

[angelbelow]

Noels looks devastated lol

[crc21209]

why not?

Makes the draft pointless and takes the drama out of it...

[BatManu20]

Otto Porter going third, according to Woj. And anyone with any bball knowledge.

[szkorhetz]

3 is Porter.

[ChumpDumper]

Gotta figure Cleveland is trading.

[loveforthegame]

I feel bad that they keep showing Noel's face. How can you mask your feelings right now?

[ElNono]

sorry.. didn't know it was a problem... I'll post it downstairs...

[DatBoyGood]

Daaamnn Noel looks like he just lost in game 7 of the nba finals

[BatManu20]

The Bobcats are going to have their choice of either Noel or Len at pick #4..... Crazy.

[blkroadrunners]

I think Noel falls and continues to fall in this draft....

I concur.

[benefactor]

why not?
The suspense is better. Some people don't want to know beforehand.

[siraulo23]

how far does noel fall?

[ElNono]

The suspense is better. Some people don't want to know beforehand.

allright

[SpursDynasty21]

These spoilers are terrible.

[DPG21920]

I like this pick. High on him. ORL doing something rational.

I wonder if Suns will get Noel..

[Raven]

I don't like him all that much, but at least the Afflalo trade makes sense.

who's going to shoot though?

[TE]

I like Oladipo's game. He'll be a more offensively gifted version of Tony Allen

[Chinook]

Charlotte should draft him, or at least Phoenix now.

[DPG21920]

Gotta figure Cleveland is trading.

Every report I've seen says no trade. Could happen later I suppose, but he's not anywhere close to the most tradeable player.

[phxspurfan]

how far does noel fall?

Do the Spurs get him!?

[szkorhetz]

how far does noel fall?

Pelicans at worst.
The Davis-Noel Frontcourt can be better than Duncan-Robinson, TBH.

[Chinook]

who's going to shoot though?

Someone else, eventually. Until he learns, they'll still be in tanking position.

[TE]

Pelicans at worst.
The Davis-Noel Frontcourt can be better than Duncan-Robinson, TBH.

Glass frontcourt tbh

[Chinook]

Pelicans at worst.
The Davis-Noel Frontcourt can be better than Duncan-Robinson, TBH.

Maybe, but Duncan and Robinson were both extremely NBA-ready. That could bust really easily.

[crc21209]

Glass frontcourt tbh

:lol

[DPG21920]

Pelicans at worst.
The Davis-Noel Frontcourt can be better than Duncan-Robinson, TBH.

lol wut

[TE]

No fucking way does Cleveland go with the notion that Bennet was the most talented available. That's ridiculous.

[coyotes_geek]

:lol Stern trolling
