Man, the Spurs draft picks get so much more love than all other teams for so many years now. How many of these guys have ended up being anything approaching star level since Manu/Tony? How many have been lauded as draft day steals/stars? Blair, Beno, Splitter, Murray etc. All end up flaming out as non stars.

Drafting in the late 20s, if you get a good rotation player or a starter, you’ve done your job. Go back through the last 15 drafts, and look at all of the players selected before the Spurs pick in that draft that either didn’t get another contract, or didn’t even complete their rookie contract at all. To expect stars is just sheer stupidity.

Let's take another angle at the same argument (NBA execs/media overrating Spurs draft picks).
A bunch of the Spurs' lauded picks of recent memory have had decently long careers as role players for the Spurs (Beno, Blair, Bonner, Neal, Splitter, etc). And then these players have turned their success/visibility with the Spurs into second or third deals with other teams, but they have never turned into stars. And usually they ended up out of the league by the end of their 2nd deals.
Did they improve and have longevity due to the Spurs' real strength, Pop and the coaching staff/culture (which the Big 3 helped to create and prolong until now), or did the Spurs draft awesome talent? I think the Spurs drafted very average players with decent characters for the most part, and then coached the hell out of them.
But what most people on ST complain about is the Spurs' seeming unwillingness to take those high risk / high reward bets, like drafting taller/more athletic, possibly disadvantaged American kids with better ceilings, for lower ceiling / high character guys. Case in point, passing up on guys like MKG, the A&M guy from this year, etc. Guys who everyone wanted on draft night because of their potential.
Why not swing for the fences? If not, with our awesome coaching staff to develop players the best we get is what we have. A team full of role players, some being paid star money.

That is the expectation people have created as if every late 1st round pick the Spurs choose will be the "next" Manu or Tony.
The Spurs are smart by drafting three straight guards with varying skills, athletic ability and upside. Hopefully at least two, if not all three, pan out in the long run.

Right now he plays exactly like JR Smith all the way down to the shot selection. Lets hope Pop can get him to be more like Jimmy Butler. His IQ and spacial awareness is lacking. He will be deadly once he learns to choose his spots within the flow of the offense.

If it's not broke, why fix it? Picking where the Spurs annually pick in the draft, how many superstars are you expecting to uncover? You're wanting the Spur's FO to start drafting prospects with more size and athletic ability sounds good in theory from your armchair, but there's a reason why a lot of these athletic type of players you covet don't pan out.

<edit: not MCW either, some random 3 letter player who everyone was huge on that year>, whatever. Point is there are prospects that look way better every year we follow the Spurs drafts (Walker was pretty good so I can't fault that too much, only Robert Williams looked better to me). But the Spurs have been picking randoms each year when some of the more obvious picks have been passed up.

Apologies for joining in but since 2009 (when they picked Blair) the Spurs have more or less done well with extremely late picks. Here is a list of players the Spurs whiffed on
2010 - Booker, Pondexter, Vazquez, Whiteside, Bjelica; picked J. Anderson instead
2011 - Jimmy Butler, Chandler Parsons, Isaiah Thomas; picked Joseph
2012 - traded pick away to Golden State, with Crowder, Green, Middleton, and Barton all picked in the 2nd round
2013 - missed Gobert by a hair; Crabbe, Abrines, Neto, and Ennis; picked Jean-Charles
2014 - McDaniels, Dinwiddie, Grant, Jokic, Clarkson; picked Anderson instead
2015 - Nance, Hernangomez, Osman, Harrell, Richardson, Powell; picked Milutinov instead
2016 - Brogdon, Zubac, Diallo, McCaw, Zipser, Bolomboy; picked Murray instead
2017 - Hart, Ojeleye, Bell, Bacon, Brooks, Thornwell; picked White instead
All the Spurs picks have become regular rotation players for other teams, if not on the Spurs roster, with the exception of Jean-Charles, arguably their worst pick this decade because of injury. The second round is still pretty much a crap shoot but if you can eke out a rotation player at the tail-end of the draft, you’re doing quite well since other teams’ picks don’t even last to sign a second contract.

Why? I'm asking the question. Ask the guy who literally just named them a few posts above.
I don't agree, tbh. Just because a pick might be succesful with another team years from when he was selected doesn't make it a good Spurs pick. Hell, I have read some truly awful takes here from some people that cite picks that were made for other teams as "good choices" like Dragic, for example, who was picked for the Suns and traded for Malik fucking Hairston.
As if the Spurs were "smart" for blindly selecting a guy who would go on to have a great NBA career, for another team, and getting trash in return. Same for Scola. You shouldn't get credit for drafting well then dumping said player for nothing.

But to the topic at hand, yes the Spurs have one of the best track records in the league along the likes of Boston, OKC, Houston, Golden state and without top picks or money to buy picks.

Nice writeup. I can remember a lot/all of these drafts and recall many of the guys the Spurs passed over were exactly what I would call one of the "best available" during the Spurs pick.
Players like IT in 2011, who was a collegiate star. He was short, but damn he was fast and good. Seemed to me like a great bench spark plug, could have been like a Ty Lawson behind the then-still-good TP.
In 2013, Allen Crabbe was a clear best available, again snubbed for LJC out of Europe with an obvious buyout/restriction due to his contract I believe (had to stay there for a year perhaps). Perhaps they picked him because Tony like him but Crabbe was great in college and had good size to replace Manu eventually. Or even replace Green after he fell off.
2014: I liked Clarkson, no one knew Jokic would be so good, and Anderson turned out ok, so this to me is a push
2015: Montrezl Harrell was another best available and the Spurs passed him over to go for a guy who may not ever be anything in the NBA (Milutinov).
2016: Murray is ok, but Brogdon has arguably been better for his club (a starter) and was clearly one of the best available. Again probably a push, but Brogdon was a clear pick to me. Murray is still a project, and a PG who can't shoot or dribble is not really a PG if you ask me.
2017: Hart was a clear best available. Not as clear as some of the past ones, but damn good in college and still on the board. White, we shall see. But Hart was more polished and could have been already a better floor general than Murray (at least to get the offense running and not get trapped/picked).

I’m an apologist. I support my team. I guess being what you call a realist is just so “woke” and evolved that can give you the right to bitch about everything the org does when the track record speaks for itself. You guys act like any org is perfect. Like Pop said with the Duncan years, you got a good thing you just hope to not screw things up. I’m paraphrasing but that has been the philosophy for song long and perfectly explains the status quo but some aren’t apt enough to pick that up. You can’t stand the franchise than follow a different team. Some like the fruit but not the tree or like the tree but the fruit... been posting so long you think your opinions actually mean anything but they don’t. Been saying, just enjoy the ride.

People cheered the Kawhi pick. They pictured him as the coveted Long 3 that we desperately needed to defend guys like Kobe/LeBron etc. (since RJ sucked). We thought he would be the next Bowen. Only issue with that was they were way off on his ceiling. Of course people didn't like the fact that Hill was traded, but to me that's a trade move not a pick. If you're introducing general roster moves into this argument you could say Spurs are awesome at picking diamonds by citing Green from the D-league, etc.

I don’t know what to tell you. Hindsight is 20/20. The Spurs are probably aware of big boards and such but saw something in these players that fit the culture or system. RC mentioned White’s shooting percentages as the primary consideration for drafting him. In 2011, the Spurs whiffed on Thomas because he wouldn’t have any playing time on a team stacked with point guards. I agree they just drafted LJC probably because Tony liked him. The Spurs went the draft-and-stash route in 2015 to create space for Aldridge. In 2016 Brogdon wasn’t even on Bilas’ best available when the Spurs got around to make their selection. As for 2017 it’s difficult to make any calls as of now since White didn’t have a lot of playing time last year. I doubt the Spurs lost much by way of value and there was just no way they would’ve known the other guys they didn’t pick would do relatively better.

You can almost always pick one or two guys in the second round that proved better than a 28 to 30. That’s ridiculous and not the point. The point is that the Spurs have very consistently picked guys that have stuck in the NBA consistently some doing very well. Many teams have bombed on lower picks and none have consistently picked early second round picks, a few picks later than the Spurs, as the Spurs very late first round picks

You can argue 10-30, even. He’s blaming the front office for not drafting better with limited intel and a late pick. There are rational fans, there are spoiled fans, and then there are fans who want to manage a team like they play NBA Live.

I thought an “intellectual type” would play an intelligent type of basketball tbh. Is that too much to ask tbh?He's 19 and played one year of college.
He's already improved.
Relax.

Are you one of those "Grayson Allen" fans?

I guess his wrist is ok
Metu fractured his wrist. Walker sprained his ankle.

Don't really see the point of listing Brogden as a miss anymore ... Is he even still a starter? Didn't they trade for Bledsoe and he lost his job?
Nice player, steady player, but even when he's a free agent next summer is he getting a starting job anywhere?
Hart love it just as weird. Pop was never going to give him a legit chance either, he'd be g league and summer league hopeful like White.
Pop won't be giving Walker any looks either, same with anyone else they could have drafted: Huerter, Allen, Robert Williams, Mitchell Robinson ... They were all destined to sit and watch.

Taking Kyle's #1. Already the best player to wear #1 for the Spurs since DA.

I could not agree more tbh.

Not sure about a douche, definitely a tinfoil crazy person though. Hopefully its just a phase and he grows out of it though. Gotta keep in mind the kid is only 19.

He believes the sky is a projection, so the horizon isn't an issue for him.

This sounds even funnier in Spanish :lol Lonnie "puerro" Walker! :lol Thanks for that
I like his personality. Sure he's still childish/immature as he's 19 but the kid is smart and charismatic. Looks the kind of open-minded person that can learn a lot. He might be a good leader. He just needs to listen to the coaches and work his butt off for the next 2-3 years.

He got swagger and alpha traits. You don’t want a mute again. This guy knows what he wants. I think this guy’s gonna be a stud. I think we have very solid young core with star potential.

I could see Demar mentoring this kid a lot. I think he won’t play meaningful minutes this year. Manu, Demar, Patty, Marco taking much of the minutes. Pop would probably play Forbes and White before him too.

He is definitely at least half retarded. But we won a title with an autist leading the way so it doesn't matter if he's a retard as long as he's not overly vocal about his silly beliefs
Hair is a genius marketing move. He shaves his head and blends in with 50 indistinguishable players. But the hair makes him stand out. You may hate it, but you’ll always know when he’s on the court or out in public.

a dude like him with the personality and hair to be "out there" will def find some mins on the hardwood. i think he's going to surprise a lot of you just as pop will by giving lonnie mins.

Not everyone's going to be as boring and low-key as Timmy you ghaz. Let the kid enjoy himself. 19 years old and just became a millionaire. He'll be alright.

He is also very strong for a 19 year old. His upper body is perfect for NBA and his lower body looks like he has very good strong base and legs.
