1997 Draft Prospect: Tim Duncan

[spurraider21]

Has bust written all over him. Can't hit free throws, limited athleticism. We could trade back.

He's no Keith VanHorn.....

Adonal Foyle will be a center you can build a franchise around. I hope the FO passes on Duncan.

I'd go with Ron Mercer.

The other day I read a Usenet post from 1997 on the alt.spurs board talking about Tim Duncan's potential. The guy thought Tim Duncan was a bust and Shareef Abdur Rahim would have not only a better career, but a substantially better career.

Even at the time, that take was utterly retarded.
