29. SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Paul Zipser, SF, Germany: I've had Malcolm Brogdon here for a majority of my mock drafts. However, it does dawn on me that the Spurs could actually value roster versatility with this pick. There's no better option in that regard than Zipser. Zipser is 22 and looks like a terrific role player who could defend and shoot it well in the NBA. Also, it's been reported (by Yahoo! and DraftExpress) that his situation at Bayern Munich is such that he could stay in Europe or come to America immediately depending on who drafts him. That's exactly what the Spurs could want, as they could get into the Kevin Durant sweepstakes this offseason.

29. SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Paul Zipser, SF, Germany: The Spurs fell out of the playoffs with a bit of a sudden thud this time around, prompting speculation in terms of who will retire and who stay for another season. Given all of that uncertainty and given the fact that they could be players for some high level free agents in the offseason, it might make sense to take a guy like Zipser who would give a team some options in terms of whether or not they want to bring over a rookie or keep him overseas to develop.

With three teams (Celtics, Nuggets, Suns) combining for a total of 17 picks, expect plenty of movement

29. SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Paul Zipser, SF, Germany: Zipser is a similar pick to the last mock draft. He represents a lot of flexibility due to his situation over in Europe that might be appealing to a Spurs team that could be somewhat in flux in 2016-17 due to retirements and potential free agency targets.

One of the few I'd love at 29.
