Not quite sure how we didn't end up with a thread on this guy, but I would take him over Motley for sure. The same size/body, has performed in the Serbian and Adriatic leagues, has a jumper with 3 pt range

[picnroll]

Looks good on paper. If Spurs go after a big this is the kind I'd like to see. Versatile. Traditional interior bigs are becoming a dime a dozen

I can really see us getting this guy, he is very athletic for his size but he can stretch the floor which Pop would like, plus he is Australian, which the organisation likes. He is a willing passer too.

The only issue s sue is I don't think he last past the mid second round but I really wouldn't be upset if we went for him with our first round pick. I think once he starts working out for teams we will see him rise to around there anyway.

Plus depending on off season moves we can stash him if need be.

[raybies]

he's my top big right now. Good LMA insurance for next year too imo. I'm very high on him. Think he has fringe all star potential, at least once in the right circumstances. Kind of want him regardless if we go after Paul or not.

[ace3g]

Does he have "prime Lamar Odom" potential? I always felt like Spurs could use a point-PF on our roster that can can grab the board and then push the ball up himself to run offense.

Same reason why I was hoping the Spurs would have given Anthony Randolph another NBA chance. It appears as though he has really improved since playing over in Europe; and he has that skill set as well.

Odom is exactly who he reminded me of

Crap... I was hoping the Spurs can select Bolden in the second round after drafting Josh Hart in the first round.

[tim_duncan_fan]

He won't be there at #29 just from looking at the YouTube clips. There are a whole lot worse to do with the top 28 picks. He won't make it to 29.

[raybies]

Well the cats out the bag. Should mean some big drops

[CGD]

He and DJ Wilson seem like similar players, though this dude I'd probably a little more explosive. Would be happy with either.

Signs a 2 year deal with Red Star before coming for draft workouts, what a strange decision. Don't like that.

He could conceivably work himself into the first round, and I doubt Cvrena Zvezda is guaranteeing him the approximately​ 1.5 million a year.

Shouldn't that lower his stock for most, thus putting himself in the draft and stash category?

Maybe yes, but he now can be a go to for a team that wants to save caproom ...

If he's a Spurs pick in the first, could be a signal flare for them gearing up for caproom, like with Milutinov and Aldridge two years ago.

Yup, what I was thinking basically. We are the only team worth the stash imo. Brooklyn needs help so I don't know if they can afford to stash. Boston doesn't have a mid to late first cause they've been working him out or rumored to him. I think the Portland picks, Orlando, OKC or Toronto could be options for various reasons. But there appears to be better options at the time. He could be available.

[benfti]

The deal has an nba outclause which will not effect his draft stock, Red Star just wanted to insure that he is drafted and stashed, it's there.

Latest RINGER draft Podcast about internationals talks him up big-time, they expect him to rocket up boards and maybe get in the late lottery

I have a bad feeling this guy will be selected much higher than expected.

[picnroll]

Really want this guy to be available and Spurs take him.

[TrainOfThought5]

Damn we're gonna get Gobert'd again.
