Players spurs drafted but had long careers elsewhere?

[ernest787]

Random thread, but while watching the games today I saw Beno Udrih and started trying to think of other players that fall into the category of players the Spurs drafted that didn't last in SA, but ended up having a long NBA career.

I know there are more than just Beno, but I'm drawing a blank right now, so throw out other players!

[Budkin]

Leandro Barbosa, Luis Scola, Goran Dragic, Antonio Daniels are just a few that come to mind.

John Salmons has put together a nice career as a role player.

Beno

Mahinmi

[tholdren]

How would things have been different with scola?

[TXstbobcat]

How about George Hill and Ian Mahimni who were drafted by the Spurs and now both playing for the pacers.

[TXstbobcat]

Goran Dragic was drafted by the Spurs and is having a nice career so far.

[Silver&Black]

Beno giving that Guest team the business as we speak....

[TXstbobcat]

Johnny Dawkins and Kevin Duckworth were drafted by the Spurs the same season.

[ernest787]

Yeah. I should edit this to mean players that actually played for the Spurs.

Barbosa, Scola, and Dragic never suited up.

How about George Hill and Ian Mahimni who were drafted by the Spurs and now both playing for the pacers.


That's more along the lines of what I was looking for. Hill should have been obvious but just blanked.

Scola trade.........has plagued this board for years

[K...]

Leandro Barbosa, Luis Scola, Goran Dragic, Antonio Daniels are just a few that come to mind.

AD was a free agent. Drafted by the grizz. Barbossa was a traded pick.

You missed paul George though too.

Danny Green probably gonna lead this category :(


HAHA lets do the inverse: players who were good elsewhere who came here to retire/decline dramatically:

Udrih has been killing it for Memphis this year. At the end of the 3rd quarter tonight...

12min, 18pts, 5reb, 3ast, 8/9fg, +12

Anthony Tolliver has stuck around and is still active. He wasn't drafted though. Bryce Cotton played well this year too, although I think we signed him to camp but never drafted him. He should stick around a few years.
