How do we find our next draft diamond?

[SilverSpur]

What was it that the spurs front office saw in Kawahi and how do they do it again. Imagine us with two players of Leonard's ability and rotating them into the game and always having one on the floor at all times.
Was it Kawahis work ethic, being a gym rat in college?
Who do you think the Spurs have in mind when the draft comes around? What players fit our system.

[Malik Hairston]

Honestly, I wouldn't even believe anybody in the Spurs organization if they claim that they could have envisioned Kawhi being as good as he currently is, tbh:lol..

You generally don't have star expectations for a mid-round pick..

[SpursFan86]

I wonder if we would've drafted Gobert had he not gotten sniped the pick before us in 2013...can you imagine if we had him learning under Tim? He was such an amazing pick in the late 20s.

[SASdynasty!]

I think so

[cjw]

He's not Kawhi and I do like CoJo, but could have had another good wing albeit lesser player from the same draft in Butler. Or Pacers could have just held onto Kawhi and had him and PG13 on the wing.

[DJR210]

I think there's no way in the hell the Spurs wouldn't have gone with Gobert.. The Spurs covet the wingspan, and at the 27th pick IIRC, low risk high reward. Instead we get fucking Livio who will never amount to shit.

FUCK YOU UTAH YOU MORMON FAGGOTS!!

[Silver&Black]

In Pop and RC I trust...

[ChumpDumper]

Honestly, I wouldn't even believe anybody in the Spurs organization if they claim that they could have envisioned Kawhi being as good as he currently is, tbh:lol..

You generally don't have star expectations for a mid-round pick..Since apparently they had him at their #6 they may have had a higher ceiling for him.

As for OP, "we" don't find anything -- just play the percentages and let the FO do what it does.

Thank you for showing us all your IQ. I am no longer wasting time on you. I hope one day you are more open minded to others and not such a simple bigot.

[AFBlue]

They'll find success the way they always do...draft moldable, selfless and smart players that fit the system. I would say they've had terrible luck recently with foreign talent lately, so maybe they should continue the domestic trend or bring the foreigner stateside sooner rather than later.

what about Kyle Anderson? is he done or is there still potential?in the playoffs on ESPNU right now.

[benefactor]

Some early-nineteenth-century Americans used seer stones in attempts to gain revelations from God or to find buried treasure. Beginning in the early 1820s, Joseph Smith was paid to act as a seer in attempts to locate lost items and find precious metals hidden in the earth. Smith's procedure was to place the stone in a white stovepipe hat, put his face over the hat to block the light, and then "see" the necessary information in the stone's reflections. Smith had at least two seer stones, including a white stone that he found in about 1819, and a chocolate-colored stone that he found in 1822, both of which he used for treasure hunting

[AFBlue]

He's a guy that will likely see the Year 2 bump. The challenge for him is going to be finding his rhythm and place off the ball. That is, unless Ginobili retires and they think Anderson is ready to QB the second unit.

This and if there's one team that didn't expect Kawhi to be this good, it's the Pacers.

I get that. I'm not a sensitive person. I just don't get it out of the blue for no reason and why it is welcomed here? Such a poor reflection of the fan base.

you our could tell Mormon jokes. I wouldn't care. Like I said I'm not even active. But the simple minded bigotry shouldn't be tolerated or thought cool.

[SnakeBoy]

Kawhi and KA are the future big two just need to find #3. SloMo has much to work on, especially on defense, but he also has serious skill and he's just a kid. In a recent interview he said they are really making him work on his post up game so I think they envision him someday taking over the 4.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

don't get your hopes up about whatever youth the spurs bring in, this summer. Unless they trade up. We'll get to see Kyle Anderson get a little faith next year, maybe Deshaun Thomas.

I've lurked here on and off for a few years, and generally speaking, it's more reflective of the camaraderie of the board members than it is of the Spurs fanbase. I also don't think the things that are said reflect the actual beliefs of the posters - a large byproduct of the safety of a relatively anonymous Internet forum.

I too would like to live in a world where everyone's just cool with each other, but I don't think ST is a beacon of regression, tbh. That's just me.

[SnakeBoy]

So ignorant bigoted comments are welcome here?

Yes. Almost anything goes. You can either handle it or if not move on to a more moderated site. If you stay then stop bitching about it though, that would be the equivalent of watching a porn and complaining that it's offensive but never turning it off.

[Agloco]

So ignorant bigoted comments are welcome here?

They are for the most part. The site isn't heavily moderated. You'll not last long if the prior posts truly got under your skin.

[Old School 44]

Find an international program you think is blossoming and then try to draft their up and coming players.

Also, use the rookie scale contract and time period as an extended tryout for your 1st round pick. When they're in their final year, if they've shown improvement, try to sign them at a reasonable rate. If you can't, see if you can trade them for a first round pick, maybe packaging them with others to move to a higher draft position. This will in effect reset the cheap rookie scale contract on a new prospect.

[Silver&Black]

God help us if my nigga Splits ends up owning this site.....

"Ignorant and bigoted" comments would then become mandatory.
