2015 Spurs Draft Predictions

[Drom John]

Please, no wish lists, no contingencies, they belong in other threads.
Simply who do the Spurs draft?
If you predict a trade, then list it as pick# player without other trade pieces; for example #14 Kawhi Leonard (no mention of George Hill).

My predictions, with the understanding I have been correct only three times in the past; David Robinson, Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter.

#26 Michael Frazier II
#55 Alan Williams

Why? Highest Pelton WARP that the Draft Express mock expects to be available.

Last year, I had:
#30 Nikola Jokic
#58 Ondrej Balvin
#60 Ioannis Papapetrou

I predict that my predictions will be as accurate this year.

[Uriel]

#26 Justin Anderson
#55 Larry Nance

[stnick2261]

#14 Willie Cauley-Stein
#31 Justin Anderson
#36 Christian Wood
#55 Juan Vaulet

I would cry myself to sleep with tears of happiness

[Maddog]

Based on the FA rumblings I hear
I think they are going complete draft and stash (of course I have no real clue what the Spurs are going to do...)

#26. Guillermo Hernangomez Spain or Nikola Milutinov Serbis
#55 Menhir Obelix France

[Nathan89]

Cameron Payne with our trade up pick.

[Mal]

Justin Anderson, Pat Caughaton or whatever it is pronounced

[wildbill2u]

If Justin Anderson falls to 26, they take him. Otherwise its one of the Euros and stash him.

[BatManu20]

Spurs will try to trade up, but their efforts will prove futile. Therefor, they stay pat and select:


26. Guillermo Hernangomez, C Spain (definitely a draft-and-stash pick w/ this pick. Especially since they believe they're in the running for LMA.)

55. Juan Pablo Vaulet, SF Argentina

[BatManu20]

Since I'm pretty confident Spurs will go draft-and-stash at 26, other options include:

C Nikola Milutinov
SF Aleksander Vezenkov
C Arturas Gudaitis
SF Cedi Osman

[BatManu20]

If the Spurs were to go American, I think the pick would be Kevon Looney of UCLA. I think he's the player who slips in the draft. All the other top prospects will likely be gone.

[Chinook]

They better draft someone who's coming over. I can't watch the summer league if the only rookie to look forward seeing is Adam Freaking Hanga.

[Godbama]

I'm saying RJ Hunter

what's there to look forward to? dude basically has shown no intention of playing in the nba

[Raven]

a lock to go draft and stash unless there is a falling shot blocker

[Chinook]

He's actually gonna play in the SL though. That's something, but it also underscores my point.

[TheGoldStandard]

It's very underwhelming if they don't sign someone who can play or essentially learn with the Toros this season. There is still hope though, spurs could essentially pick nobody and if one of the Harrison twins doesn't go drafted or someone falls out of the draft tonight can't they invite them to SL?

Of course, and they will have a couple of rookies there. Will be mostly foreign vets and busts/fringe players, though.

is JLC playing? I'm interested in seeing what he can do but man I hope they get Justin Anderson

[Chinook]

LJC should be playing, but no confirmation that I know of.

[raybies]

I know there could be a trade but I'm gonna play it safe and say Gudaitis for the first and JP Vaulet for the second. I had Bogdan Bogdanovic last year for the first.

[yavozerb]

1st rd pick= Harrell
2nd rd pck= Vaulet

[SpursSerb]

1rd Milutinov

[Russ]

I would order the (somewhat) realistic picks at 26:

1. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

2. Justin Anderson

3. Montrezl Harrell

4. Terry Rozier

5. Christian Wood (although he might be available somewhere in the 2d round)

Or Euros to Stash:

1. Cedi Osman

2. Guillermo Hernangomez

[sexinthatsx]

CAMERON PAYNE.

[elemento]

26 - Jaiteh

55 - Shaun Dawson

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Rj hunter as a safety net in case we lose DG

[Mikeanaro]

Vaulet could have some weight since Manu is pushing for him.

What did manu say about him ?

[Mikeanaro]

What did manu say about him ?
I dont know what Manu has said about him, but his brother is coaching him in Estudiantes de Bahia and they are comparing him to Manu, what I know is kid is not a good shooter at all but is pretty athletic, I bet Manu could shoot at that age so I dont get exactly the comparison but they say he is good so Gino must be cheering for him like did with Oberto, and Parker asking for some Diaw.
Watching some of his videos... some nice dunks, we´ll see.

Fair enough. I've never seen this kid. I'll try to find some videos to watch him play a bit, thanks.

[Uriel]

It's going to be either Hollis-Jefferson or Hunter.

[Mikeanaro]

You are welcome, here is one dunk

1rd Milutinov

Good call.

Any chance you've seen him play?

Yeah I saw him. He is too soft right now, but improving. Good rebounder, needs to work on his defence and post game. Basically a prospect that needs work, but a potentional. He wants in the NBA right now, i don't know what the Spurs will tell him.
