Official 2018 NBA Draft Thread

[BatManu20]

Well, it’s finally here. Draft is tomorrow night at 7/ET. Might be trading our franchise player, nbd. Either way, should be a fun draft with lots of movement. Let’s see how it shakes out.

What we get depends on the dialogue today. If we get Athletic Defensive Wing, Kawhi is gone. Shooter, Kawhi stays. Or do we trade up to get a replacement franchise player? Ayton or Bagley? But this batch is pretty deep. I feel we can get quality players from both rounds

Clippers trade package is garbage, Lakers is better, tbh.

Clippers trade package is garbage, Lakers is better, tbh.

Yea, but as I stated in another thread, PATFO might actually be petty enough to take a lesser deal than to give the Lakers what they want, essentially signing off on LA creating another Superteam in their conference. Really don’t think think they’re going to trade him to the Lakers regardless of the offer. If he wants to go next Summer, then so be it. But don’t help them out, especially with the lowball offer they’re likely going to get anyways.

[BatManu20]

The more I think about it, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Spurs already have an offer they like, and the trip to SD by Pop was just to talk to Kawhi face-to-face and to make sure one final time that this is what HE wants. If the answer was yes, I think Kawhi will be traded on draft night.

[szkorhetz]

Clippers trade package is garbage, Lakers is better, tbh.
Harris would be a really interesting and good fit next to LMA, IMHO.
Throw in 12+13+next year's 1st and it's a deal.

[BatManu20]

1009073529004929025

[BatManu20]

Predict your top 3 choices of who the Spurs are going to draft at 18:

1. Troy Brown
2. Kevin Huerter
3. Dzanan Musa

[BatManu20]

Harris would be a really interesting and good fit next to LMA, IMHO.
Throw in 12+13+next year's 1st and it's a deal.

2 things:

1.) Harris is intriguing, but he’s an UFA next Summer trading Kawhi for a guy who could just walk after one year for nothing isn’t ideal.

2.) In this hypothetical deal, Clippers couldn’t trade next year’s pick because you can’t trade 1st Round picks in consecutive years (Stepian Rule). So it’d have to be a 2020 1st-Round Pick at the earliest, which the Clippers likely wouldn’t do, seeing as how Kawhi could just walk away next Summer for nothing and the Clippers would likely be right back in the lottery, where that pick would be extremely valuable.

They could, however, swap picks with the Spurs in 2019 if they wanted to, which would make way more sense in this scenario.

[keithington1]

1)Kieta Bates Diop 2)Zhaire Smith 3)Anfernee Simons 4)Troy Brown Jr. 5)Mitchel Robinson

so be it, just end this drama.

[spurs50_]

Saw a mock draft on nbatv, last night, they said Huerter has a dash of Kay Thompson in him...Not the first time I hear him compared to Thompson

[objective]

There will be other live broadcasts competing with ESPN broadcast if you're not in the mood for ESPN's crap.

The Stepien will have a live broadcast.

I don't remember who else. Maybe Duncd On or The Ringer or SI or Yahoo will do it again as well. But I remember there being another beside the Stepien.

[NASpurs]

Probably don’t expect spoilers. Heard that ESPN, Yahoo and others pledged not to spoil draft picks before they’re officially announced.

[objective]

My hopes in order:

1. Zhaire
2. Huerter
3. Robert Williams
4. Mitchell Robinson

I've flipped a few times between Zhaire and Huerter, I would be happy with either. I'm not so high on Mitchell R anymore, but I don't want any undersized guards or slow non-shooting SFs anymore. I'd rather take the risk with a weirdo high schooler.

I would be disappointed with any undersized guards. Or guys with reputations for being the worst defender in the draft like Jerome Robinson, guy's just another Bryn. Don't want Troy Brown either, or Keita Slow-Diop.

[BatManu20]

Here we go. Dwight getting traded for Mozgov these days. How far the mighty have fallen.

I feel the same about Smith and Huerter. I go back and forth between those two. I'd be very happy with either.

[Spurs9]

It mentions Clippers could look at moving to 4, so maybe there could be a 3 team deal sending Kawhi to the Clippers and getting a combo of players + high draft picks back.

[Spurs9]

The more I think about it, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Spurs already have an offer they like, and the trip to SD by Pop was just to talk to Kawhi face-to-face and to make sure one final time that this is what HE wants. If the answer was yes, I think Kawhi will be traded on draft night.
Do you think Pop could have already mentioned a package they were considering outside of LA, and his group then leaked out that he only wants to commit to LA after? I probably doubt they would ever discuss what they had on the table with him though.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Zhaire would be dope, going to be an interesting night that's for sure.

[look_at_g_shred]

Does anyone believe that if we keep the 18th pick and whomever we draft will be in Austin for most of the year?

[DPG21920]

Zhaire would be dope, going to be an interesting night that's for sure.

I would be very happy with him, Lonnie or Huerter there.

[TimDunkem]

If the Spurs draft Musa, or some slow, big-headed freak then I'm done.

[TimDunkem]

Does anyone believe that if we keep the 18th pick and whomever we draft will be in Austin for most of the year?

Well, yeah. Rookie seasons aren't for rookies since they need time to get over themselves, nor would it be fair to the rest of the team to play them. :pop:

[BatManu20]

Zhaire would be dope, going to be an interesting night that's for sure.


I like Zhaire, but he measured in at 6'2.75 without shoes at the combine (6'4 w/ shoes). Thought he was much taller than that. Not great size for a 2-guard. His 6'10 wingspan helps alleviate some of that concern though.

[Russ]

I'd love to see the Spurs get one of these guys:

1. Jerome Robinson, G, Boston College

2. Zhaire Smith, SG, Texas Tech

3. Miles Bridges, F, Michigan State

The Big Three at 18.

Spurs must be chomping at the bit then..

The 6-4 was disappointing, no doubt.

But still bigger than Forbes (6-3, 6-5 wingspan) and Mills (6-0.5, 6-2 wingspan).

I'd take him in a backcourt with Murray defense-wise. Can't shoot that great, but it's not like Mills or Bryn make shots in the playoffs either.

He's also the exact same size as Brandon Paul (6-2.75 / 6-4). Smith has a 0.5 inch shorter wingspan but a + 2 inch standing reach

I see it.

[BatManu20]

If the Clippers are trying to move those 2lottery picks to get into the Top 7, then Kawhi is likely not being traded to LAC. Unless them moving up would be because the Spurs want a top pick, of course.

What if the Spurs said, they want a top 10 pick to move Kawhi? And the Clipps and C's are trying to get that to finalize the deal. Unlikely since all reports are that PATFO have been pretty quiet.

[TimDunkem]

No one under 6'5 please.

Jerry West knows what Kawhi is and he also knows RC isn’t gonna take a BS deal. Let’s hope West can pull together something good and leap frog the Lakers. Please RC, anyone but the Lakers.

[Mr. Body]

I wouldn't mind exiling Kawhi to the Clippers. His career would be essentially over until nagging injuries finish him off.

Agree no more PG's or undersized SG's.

I don't mind him. He looks like he will be better than Danny Green ever was. (no knock on Danny he was pretty good but he is a Spurs system player). A lot of mock drafts have Kevin Huerter to the Spurs as well. That guy looks to have even more potential since he is a legit 6' 7'' SG. Vicenzo at 6' 5'' is generous it looks like.

[daslicer]

1009456417063997445

I like him but, not at #18. Walker, Zhaire, or Huerter would be my target there. If we drop back or pick up a pick in the 20's I'd like DiVincenzo.

If the Spurs draft him, Ima be rooting for that all the way. Being better than 2014-2015 Green would be incredible. We'd be talking at least a minor star at that point. Who wouldn't want that?

Donte will be a bust. He's a second round pick at best.

I don't want him. I am always suspicious of "prospects" who would be either back at school or going in the 2nd rd/undrafted without a one game breakout in the finals...

[Chinook]

Then you’re not gonna like this.

1009484990357352448

Unless Donte says that Kawhi called him and said he'd re-up at a discount if the Spurs drafted him, I don't think so.

[rjv]

almost any player outside of about six or seven in this draft is a potential bust. and then there are always going to be some players that teams will regret having passed on.

[SpursDynasty85]

Drafting a white American player in the first round in 2018 would be rock bottom for this franchise..

That is racist. Terrible logic, actually toxic logic. I'm sure drafting TP and Manu would be impossible with this kind of thinking. Character is more important and if that is what DiVincenzo has then I'll take that over a more athletic guy with none. DiVicenzo actually had a monster vertical leap at the combine. That probably eases their fears on whether he is really 1st round material.

[coachmac87]

^ Would be so disappointed.


Why? Cause he’s 21?

[coachmac87]

Drafting a white American player in the first round in 2018 would be rock bottom for this franchise..

Well you’re a racist so that’s not a surprise lol

[BatManu20]

DiVincenzo is a solid Spurs-type player, but I think 18 is too high for him. There will be better players available with higher upside.

His skill-level is actually pretty solid, and he’s a pretty good athlete for a white guy (tied for the highest vertical at the combine at 42 inches, finished 5th in the lane agility drill, 11th in the shuttle-run, 9th in 3/4 court sprint, etc.). But it’s his size and length that worry me. He’s only 6’4 with shoes and has a 6’6 wingspan. Those are pretty poor for an NBA SG, unless your name is JJ Redick.

[K...]

Spurs are going Utah with no blacks ( cappuccino and foreign ok). And since Golden State is winning that way (with one minstrel quality true black) who can say no?


Between kawhi, Simmons, and dedmon the well is poisoned.

Stop, it isn't racism:lol

It's just the direction of the league, it's like saying players like Kendrick Perkins have been eradicated from basketball, that's the current climate of the league..

For white Americans to reacclimate themselves to the NBA, they need to continue breeding with us to create Klay Thompson types, it's the only way they'll get in on the action again..this isn't 1980..

[Chinook]

That, and he sucks. People said Danny Green 2.0, and while Green's career has definitely been worth a high-first, he was drafted in the second for a reason.

And of course you’d compare him to Danny lmao

You are race baiting and you know what you are doing. It's equivalent to a white supremacist saying "Well Tyrone is an African american definitely a waste of a spot for Harvard to accept since most African Americans do poorly when it comes to academics. If African Americans want to have a better chance at these schools they should start mixing with white people ." Granted this guy Donte is looks to me to be a scrub but you bringing up his race was a racist remark . You think your clever but you are a racist. It's ok to admit you are a racist since we have plenty on both sides of the fence here on ST.

Solid scouting report, I believe he’s also one of the most NBA ready players. Biggest problem with NBA drafts is teams/people get obsessed with athleticism and potential yet ignoring their true basketball skills...

DiVincenzo is a baller. Look at what he did at the combine

He’s a perfect Ginobili replacement..and eventually grow into your starter. I don’t think he has “superstar” potential but I do think he can contribute immediately and can bring creativity off the dribble unlike anything Spurs have right now

For white Americans to reacclimate themselves to the NBA, they need to continue breeding with us to create Klay Thompson types, it's the only way they'll get in on the action again..this isn't 1980..

In that case it is outdated thinking. The progression to black players have been happening since the 70's. Its been heightened since 2000's for sure. As an american I hope our black athletes truly get the best chance they can have at education and an athletic career of their choice but to assume black americans should have an obscure edge over white americans is actually a step back for the future of basketball in america. This kind of thinking that associates NBA athletes with stereotypes is why we have less white athletes pursuing careers in the NBA which makes competition worse and might even be crippling black americans to think they deserve a spot or should call "racism" when a white athlete or another athlete makes it over them. **cough** Jeremy Lin is a perfect example. Dude is asian american and from Harvard yet outplayed Carmelo Anthony but the "black league" had him ostracized for his popularity over the others. I'm sure Spurs will do their due diligence and am glad they won't just go after the best "black athlete". ** I do know what your saying. You are saying things more in jest but still... this kind of stereotyping takes us all a step back on the human level.

[Play Boban]

Donte will be a bust. He's a second round pick at best.

Racist.

DiVencenzo is such overrated waste of an 18.

[duncan2150]

Would prefer that to Donte.

i’m not a fan of donte but saying that is a little bit ridiculous. Nobody can say if this Guy will be a bust or not, plus there will not be a lot of options at 18 ( Walker, smith, knox, 2 bridges will probably not be there )

what’s your options : bates diop, Huerter or other ? Assuming no Walker, bridges, knox ......

Ok i can't say if one of these prospect will be better than Di Vincenzo, for me from pick 15-16 to 35-40 you have a lot of same level player.

[BackHome]

Yeah that is why I am hoping any trade with Kawhi we can get a draft pick 6-10. To me 11 to 22 are all in same group talent wise.

[BSfromTX]

Would love to see us move up and get Jaren Jax Jr.
I don't know much about him, but he looks more like an NBA player than most. Doncic will be a solid NBA player, but I can see a lot of good NBA defenders keeping him in check.

If Zhaire, Huerter and Robert Willams are all off the board I'm going to be so damn pissed off that they made the playoffs

I'm starting to get that feeling of the James Anderson draft where they had pick 20 in a year when the last useful player was off the board at 19. Listened to the Game Theory podcast mock draft and hearing all those guys off the board and Vecenie saying that starting at 18 through the 40s is just a big group of guys where the draft drops off irked me greatly.

5. De'Anthony Melton

Don't want Grayson, DiVencenzo, Troy Brown, Jerome Robinson

Indifferent on Okobo, Okogie

[dbestpro]

Looking at reach, and hand size verses height the closest thing to Kawhi is Melvin Frazier, but as a SG.
Kawhi - reach 8-10 hand 9.8 height 6-7
Frazier - reach 8-9 hand 9.5 height 6-5

Would not be surprised if this has an impact with Spurs. No other SF/SG comes close in measurements.

They don't really have an edge in any facet of scouting anymore, it was inevitable that the league would catch up to their international scouting..

Daryl Morey spoke about this a few months ago..not just about the Spurs(he did mention how they were far ahead of the league in international scouting in the 90s and 2000s), but how difficult it is in general for front offices to find an edge over other teams in the draft nowadays..

Maybe, but there's too many variables to know for sure: how Doncic develops in the NBA, how serious Kawhi's injury is and how it affects his career going forward. Plus, Doncic is cheaper, under team control for longer than one season, fits better with the Clippers' present timeline, and doesn't come with the drama of Uncle Dennis and the "group."

It would be a franchise-ruining disaster to trade Doncic for Kawhi, only to watch Kawhi sign with the Lakers after this upcoming season. How can we be sure that Kawhi wouldn't pull some shit like that when he's quitting on his current team right now?

Not true, we have a second round pick to right?

[SPURt]

I’m not anticipating we’ll see that player actually in a Spurs jersey.

I like how 4 doesn't have a team next to it.

[objective]

Alright, whose got some second round hopes?

Like some in the Think Tank, I'm all aboard the Yuta Watanabe express.

But I also guess that Ray Spalding or Jevon Carter might be useful inactive list players

[mo7888]

Celtics get kawhi
Spurs get brown, #4, sac 1st 2019, parsons
Memphis get a their own 1st back next year

Do we take that?

Yes, I know we probably have to move one contract to create space to take parsons.

[mo7888]

Am I the only one who doesn't think Musa is that bad of a prospect? He's a nice scorer. I could see him developing into a great sixth man somewhere.

I don't think he's a bad prospect. I just think there are several options that will be better at #18. Now, if we end up with #25 it makes more sense.

Absolutely. And take Bamba at 4. No way this would ever happen though.

[spurraider21]

what undersized shooting guards are we looking at this year?

Problem is Memphis apparently wants to stay in the lottery, just moving down and shedding Parsons.

Memphis accomplishes moving Parsons but their owner expects for them to be a 50 game winner, If true, then they are moving number 4 this year for number 25ish next year just to move Parsons. Memphis would probably have to get our 18th pick to make this work.

Otherwise, actually a pretty good trade idea that doesn't seem so far fetched.

I think we would take that in a fucking heartbeat, Brown plus the 4th pick and a possible top 5 pick next year is great return.

I don't see anyway they can trade down and stay in the lottery this year if they are shedding Parsons and not taking back salary. Now, if they are willing to take back Gallo then maybe...

The Spurs throwing them the 18th pick would make your trade much more viable. They at least get a good pick and shed Parsons. Spurs get Brown plus 2 top 5 picks and Boston gets Kawhi

I think the Memphis pick next year could be especially valuable to them considering they would have some say so over how high it it. That said, I would probably include our 18 if it got it done.

:lol So much for the agreement by the media to not spoil picks this year.

exactly. woj has already tweeted the top 6 picks for the draft tonight. he created his own loophole.

[rjv]

jaren jackson jr.at #4 to no listed team doesn't mean that goes to SA. there's a better chance that his dad comes back to play for the spurs than he does.

I would like the Greek Freak's little brother in the 2nd round.

It doesn't mean Spurs, but it's a likely trade considering Memphis desire to shed a contract, and Jackson's antipathy to Memphis

[BatManu20]

I don't think Lonnie Walker could drop to the Spurs.

Zero chance. Clippers won’t let him get past 12 or 13 if they don’t move those picks.

[CGD]

#4 and Brown is a pretty damn good basis for a trade tbh

Agreed. You do that trade under the circumstance if you’re the spurs. Then use 18 for more wing help.

and this is what makes all the information coming out about the leonard situation so difficult to decipher. woj tweets today that the spurs are not shopping but will listen to offers, but then shelburne later reports that the spurs have shut the door on the lakers which is supposedly the only team that leonard would resign with. so that entails that the spurs are passively listening but just not to the one team that leonard would re-sign with.

[DAF86]

So who do you guys want at 18th? I'm torn.

A guy like Huerter I think would be a really solid player for years to come and a rotation player from the get go, but his ceiling isn't that high.

Guys like Musa and Hutchinson are more of wild cards, but the payoff could be bigger since they can playmake a bit.

And a guy like Z.Smith wouldn't be more than a 3 and D guy.

[Raven]

I find it absurd that someone would spend a lottery pick on Trae Young..

Hutchinson

[DAF86]

Hutchinson

I like him too, but I find it weird that many mock draft don't even have him as a first round pick. There must be something there that we don't see.

Meanwhile many are saying that if Hurter wouldn't have got hurt he might be a top 10 prospect right now.

Another thing we have to consider is age. I think Musa and Huerter are 19, and Hutchinson 22 or 23.

Like they shut the door on the Forum in '99. (Turn out the lights.):flag:

[Raven]

To get whom?

Doncic or Bamba if can't get high enough

[Russ]

Hutchinson

The one problem -- lacks athleticism.

[DAF86]

The one problem -- lacks athleticism.

Mmh what? All scouts I've seen from him say that he has from above average to elite athleticism.

[r0drig0lac]

The one problem -- lacks athleticism.

it seems above average (maybe not much C +, B-?)

[sasaint]

Doncic or Bamba if can't get high enough

Need to get the Memphis pick at #4 to ensure you get Bamba.

[NASpurs]

If the Suns like him, then he must suck. Bail fast.

1009927276308250624

[Ron Swanson]

Need to get the Memphis pick at #4 to ensure you get Bamba.

Yeah. If the Mavs can't move up to get Doncic, they will take Bamba at 5.

[SpurPadre]

Barring a trade, is it more likely we'll get a high IQ, unathletic player than a raw, great athlete in this draft?
