Official 2019 NBA Draft Thread

[Russ]

Samanic shot 21% from 3 in the Adriatic, seems ready to replace Bertans after next year.

Chip doesn't speak Adriatic. :)

[99 Problems]

Nets not wanting dat salary

[sasaint]

Samanic shot 21% from 3 in the Adriatic, seems ready to replace Bertans after next year.

Definitely NOT a Bertans clone. 21%... sheesh.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Of course. They can’t run away as fast an black American athletes (See Kawhi).

:lol

[BWS-1994]

1141891205720133633

Who else are still with him in the Green Room?

[NickiRasgo]

Jordan Poole - atleast not something we know who has a potential. :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

It's more likely that he shut it down to not show too much, imo. timvp said he's with that agency that tries to land players with their team of choice as opposed to as high as possible...and we all know Europeans love themselves some Spurs.

You got a point there. The good thing is his biggest weakness is that he's not giving 100% all the time, but when he does he's great. Pop would never let that slide, so it's easy to fix. I also thinks Spurs want Bogdanović to mentor him

[Play Boban]

Samanic shot 21% from 3 in the Adriatic, seems ready to replace Bertans after next year.
Yeah, racist low IQ posters comparing this guy to Bertans just shows how low their IQ is. Their racism blinds them from obvious facts.....sad tbh.... :wakeup

[FkLA]

We already have him, and we're paying him more than 8-9M/year. His name is Davis Bertans. We also already invested in developing Bertans. And his position is not nearly as important as a 3-and-D guy in Today's NBA, especially with our shit roster. Horrible pick.

I think it's lazy to compare him to Bertans just because they're both white euros. Bertans is strictly a stretch four. Samanic, to me, looks like he can be a combo forward with his ballhandling+slashing ability, imho.

[DAF86]

Fuck it, go for Bol.

[John B]

Roby please!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

Samanic is nothing like Bertans, only similarities are their heights and that they're white guys. Samanic is way more athletic and way more fluid offensively.

Lets hope he will show some of that athleticism and be fluid offensively, cause after watching the guy play in over 30 games all he showed me is that he sucks.

[RC_Drunkford]

Claxton or Roby. Don't fuck this up again RC

[rastaspur]

Jordan poole looks like a massive tool.

[exstatic]

This server will melt into a puddle if we pick Bitadze or Fernando.

[Russ]

These guys are Spurs if picked:

Keldon Johnson
Kevin Porter Jr.
Nicolas Claxton

[LCM]

Wow!! Golden State just crap the bed!

[John B]

Roby 6’8”, 7’3” wingspan, Murray connection

[phxspurfan]

Sure, I get this criticism - I was just saying don't knock the pick because of his athleticism. Personally, I think he has a higher ceiling than Bertans. His shot isn't there yet and probably won't reach Bertan's level, but he's on track to be a very capable shooter. And in my opinion he is more skilled or has the potential to be in other key facets of the game - especially taking his man off of the dribble. He's a very skilled ball handler for his size.

Hey, I wanted Little like everyone else. But I also see the upside with Samanic.

I'm not knocking really anything about him specifically, and hell maybe Spurs drafted what they thought was best available vs. by need. I'm just saying due to last year's shitshow, we know what our need is, and it's glaring.


I'll just put this right here.


https://s.hdnux.com/photos/72/60/21/15402075/3/rawImage.jpg

[Cardinal]

I wouldn't go for Bol here. Porter/Roby/Paschall/Okpala/Johnson/Claxton would all be fantastic options instead.

[GreekSpursfan]

Jordan poole looks like a massive tool.

Was about to say the same, :rollin

[John B]

That’s our athletic SF bitches. Roby

[rastaspur]

Roby or claxton are good with me

[John B]

That’s our athletic SF bitches. Roby

[Big P]

Keldon Johnson it is

[FkLA]

Jordan poole looks like a massive tool.

He looks like an idiot and faggot at the same time. He'll fit in well in GS.

[slick'81]

Lets hope he will show some of that athleticism and be fluid offensively, cause after watching the guy play in over 30 games all he showed me is that he sucks.


Not a fan huh

[Joseph Kony]

Keldon Johnson or Roby

[davi78239]

Before our 29th , Zion interview. Then before 29th, warriors talk

[Russ]

Keldon Johnson!

Home Run!

[Play Boban]

Maria Taylor looks like she could take Poole.

[Ron Swanson]

Keldon Johnson

[phxspurfan]

Wooo yay

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

He likes to fish and bowl

[John B]

Johnson faborite player Westbrook :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

not bad really

[slick'81]

So are we liking johnson?

[phxspurfan]

Jordan poole looks like a massive tool.

He just said he wants to "bring the drip" to the Splash Brothers. Maria Taylor just stared blankly at him. What a joke lol will be in Kerr's doghouse day 1

[MVPCues]

Uh oh, he better get that flex impulse out of him...

[rastaspur]

Johnson works. Would have preffered roby or claxton but a good pick nonetheless

[Play Boban]

He likes to fish and bowl
He can fish trash and sewage out of the riverwalk tbh.

[Texas_Ranger]

Not a fan huh

I think he still needs like 2 years to develop into something better. And i think the 19th pick was too high for that.

[Spurs fever]

He looks good to me.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Cool with it. Hope he can play SF.

[FkLA]

This dude gets drafted by the Spurs and ditches the flashy suit for a classy one. :lol

[LCM]

really like the keldon Johnson pic! If we are going to trade bertans then I'm targeting Phillies second round draft picks

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

6'6?

[phxspurfan]

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/cgIAAOSw0VhdBJMi/s-l640.jpg

[stxspurs]

wtf is the drip

[rastaspur]

He just said he wants to "bring the drip" to the Splash Brothers. Maria Taylor just stared blankly at him. What a joke lol will be in Kerr's doghouse day 1

Lol

Bring the drip=tool status confirmed.

[sasaint]

He looks small with very slight shoulders.

[rastaspur]

wtf is the drip

The soul glo trail that greasy haired tool is going to leak all over the court.

[RC_Drunkford]

Meh

[FkLA]

Kind of a boring pick. Landry Fields, imo. :td:

[Holden_Caulfield]

not a bad day. keldon is still young so hopefully he grows a few inches over the next two summers

[Ron Swanson]

wtf is the drip

STD

[Jsmythe]

Not terrible but a bit short for a SF. Hopefully someone good will slip to 49.

[MoSpur02]

On that $100 pick thread I had Keldon Johnson at 19 and Samanic at 29. I got them mixed up.

[LCM]

And Porter Jr goes to Siberia ... wait Cleveland.

[TDMVPDPOY]

this clown will go well with instagram faggot

[SpurPadre]

Solid pick at 29th, tbh. Makes up for that disastrous 19th pick in Bonner 3.0, tbh.

[Seventyniner]

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/cgIAAOSw0VhdBJMi/s-l640.jpg

alpha af tbh

[Killakobe81]

wtf is the drip

Todays era swag... But more about your fashion/style

[ZeusWillJudge]

Congrats to Milwaykee for selecting the first openly gay player in the NBA, and then trading him to Cleveland.

[Cardinal]

Y'all comparing Samanic to Bonner have no idea what you're talking about lol...

[LCM]

Claxton, Fernando, Bol Bol, Gafford, KZ, Paschall, THT, Roby, Schofield, King, Sirvydis ... lots of 2nd round talent!!

[ace3g]

Hoping for either KZ Okpala (http://insider.espn.com/nba/draft/player/_/id/103079) or Eric Paschall (http://insider.espn.com/nba/draft/player/_/id/102987) in the 2nd round.

[BillMc]

On that $100 pick thread I had Keldon Johnson at 19 and Samanic at 29. I got them mixed up.

It means you have to give TMVP the $100, not the other way around.

[FkLA]

Damn, I never knew DeAndre Jordan was a 2nd rounder. I always thought he was a lottery pick for some reason.

[sasaint]

Johnson works. Would have preffered roby or claxton but a good pick nonetheless

I am very leery of Coach Cal's players. Johnson looks like another guy who is undersized for his position. No matter how I try to avoid getting sucked into pre-draft expectations/excitement, I always do get excited and optimistic before the draft, and the Spurs inevitably bring me back down to earth at the actual draft. This is a particularly disappointing draft for me. I really hoped that the Spurs might figure out a way to capitalize on a super-rare draft when they had 2 picks. Maybe they will surprise me...

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Damn, I never knew DeAndre Jordan was a 2nd rounder. I always thought he was a lottery pick for some reason.

He was projected to be a lottery pick and fell out of the 1st round.

[Ron Swanson]

Fucking block party in Brooklyn with Allen and Claxton.

[cutewizard]

:bobo

[sasaint]

Claxton, Fernando, Bol Bol, Gafford, KZ, Paschall, THT, Roby, Schofield, King, Sirvydis ... lots of 2nd round talent!!

Not 19 of them, unfortunately.

[venitian navigator]

looks like extremely good value at least for the first 10 second round picks...

[ZeusWillJudge]

It means you have to give TMVP the $100, not the other way around.

Damn, Bill. That new sig pic. Goosebumps.

[r0drig0lac]

It means you have to give TMVP the $100, not the other way around.

https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif

[jag]

They must have thought samanic woukdnt be available at 29.

He's got a hell of a ceiling. A top 5 pick type ceiling. But.......... his floor is low.



this type of analysis :lol

[John B]

So we got from Kawhi trade, a SF who cannot shoot 3, Poeltl (very good prospect) and undersized SF Johnson hmmm

[timvp]

I'm on the Jontay Porter bandwagon for 49, tbh.

[GAustex]

Remember when Spurs got some dude Ginobili late in the second round

[ZeusWillJudge]

Not 19 of them, unfortunately.


Depending on who comes off the board between now and then, I wouldn't mind of the Spurs surprised everyone and drafted Josh Perkins or even Cody Martin at 49. If not, they're at the top of my list for UFA' to invite to camp.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I'm on the Jontay Porter bandwagon for 49, tbh.

Really high risk/reward. I wouldn't complain.

[RC_Drunkford]

Can we at least get one of Jontay Porter, Roby or Admiral in the 2nd round?

[venitian navigator]

a lot of bigs still in...Porter, Bol, Gafford, Fernando...and Fall.

[Jsmythe]

I wonder if Goga Bitadze or Chuma Okeke were available at 19, would the Spurs still have picked Samanic? Did we just get Gobert'd again?

[Fusternino]

King, Roby and Fernando still available.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Hate the draft for Boston, tbh. Langford's good but wonder about his fit there.

[BillMc]

Damn, Bill. That new sig pic. Goosebumps.

Glad you approve Zeus. All sig girls must be Keldon-wink worthy.

[cutewizard]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W6osJ_XyqI&t=532s

Those things don't happen very often.

[BillMc]

:lol
:bobo

[Russ]

I'm on the Jontay Porter bandwagon for 49, tbh.

Stash and hope, not bad at that 49 spot.

[FkLA]

Bol Bol should've declined the invite to the green room. There's no way he didn't know there were medical concerns. Then to wear that suit. Awkward, tbh.

Hopefully Roby falls down to 49 or RC moves up.

[SpurPadre]

Fuck Luka Bonner but props for Keldon Long Don Johnson, our new LDN, tbh.

[LCM]

Bruno Fernando to Sixers! That's a great pick!

[RC_Drunkford]

Kawhi trade is getting worse and worse everyday

[RC_Drunkford]

Congrats to Milwaykee for selecting the first openly gay player in the NBA, and then trading him to Cleveland.

Dwight Howard? I mean what's more open than missing an entire season because of a sore asshole?

[FkLA]

Fuck Luka Bonner but props for Keldon Long Don Johnson, our new LDN, tbh.

You're a good guy but absolutely terrible at talent evaluation, tbh.

[baseline bum]

Wow 35 down and Bol still on the board. I have to watch the rest of this now just to see that interview when he gets chosen.

[lmbebo]

bol bol slide, worst yet?

[SpurPadre]

You're a good guy but absolutely terrible at talent evaluation, tbh.

You're cool too but says the guy who thinks Murray is a scrub. What do you have against Johnson? Does he use Instagram?

[DAF86]

Congrats to Milwaykee for selecting the first openly gay player in the NBA, and then trading him to Cleveland.

Bruno Fernando? Name gave him away.

[sasaint]

Kawhi trade is getting worse and worse everyday

That's how it looks to me, too. I hope I am wrong. But it seems like the Spurs found a way to turn a mediocre draft into something less. Especially when the Spurs owned 2 first round picks for the first time in forever, the results are just uninspiring at this point. Maybe both guys tear up the summer league and the D League and play a few spot minutes in SA...

[Thomas82]

Fucking block party in Brooklyn with Allen and Claxton.

Thanks Pop!! SMH

[Play Boban]

MAGAricks. :wow

[FkLA]

You're cool too but says the guy who thinks Murray is a scrub. What do you have against Johnson? Does he use Instagram?

I never said Instagram Baller is a scrub, he just isn't Derrick White.

Johnson's ceiling seems to be like two inches from his floor. It's pretty obvious that Samanic has the higher ceiling despite his skin color.


Bruno Fernando? Name gave him away.

Porter Jr I think

[RC_Drunkford]

https://twitter.com/PaulGarciaNBA/status/1141901111961501696?s=20

can't wait to see his first season in the G-League :rollin

[FkLA]

MAGAricks. :wow

I said it last season. Cuban is low key making UTA and IND look super black by comparison. :lol

[Chomag]

Why is spurs FO so stupid right now? My how the mighty has fallen

[LCM]

Bol Bol, Paschall, THT, Roby, Schofield, King still available

[John B]

I’m rooting for Bol Bol for 49th. Not Lavar’s right? Just checking

[ZeusWillJudge]

Bruno Fernando? Name gave him away.


Did you see Kevin Porter Jr.? Dayum. If basketball doesn't work out, he can go co-host with Ru Paul.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Weird 2nd round, a lot of interesting players dropping - Roby, Bol, Dort, Lecque, Porter, King, Paschall...

[John B]

What have we got to lose with Bol Bol at 49? Could be the next Capela? Can he run?

[rastaspur]

Added strength will go along way towards reaching his ceiling.

I will circle back around to you in a year or two when he starts lighting it up.

Laugh now but you might be choking on my balls down the road.

[Thomas82]

That's how it looks to me, too. I hope I am wrong. But it seems like the Spurs found a way to turn a mediocre draft into something less.

I see no lies in this post.

[timvp]

Porter, Bol, THT, Roby, Jeffries, Paschall. Even Lecque or Zoosman would be pretty good :tu

[rastaspur]

this type of analysis :lol

We shall see....

But those who doubt he wont eventually be a stud will be sucking cock by choice.

He will be an all star within 5 years.

[Rito3d30]

Has any green room invites go undrafted ever?

[Marcus Bryant]

Porter, Bol, THT, Roby, Jeffries, Paschall. Even Lecque or Zoosman would be pretty good :tu

THT. Feels like the guy everyone passes on but sticks.

[urunobili]

This guy Justin James looks solid

[ace3g]

Damn you Warriors...

[urunobili]

Paschall could be Draymond 2.0 or Blair 2.0

[sasaint]

Dubs end up with Paschall in the 2nd. Wow. Lucky Years Ahead.

[LCM]

Golden State just bought the second round pick and drafted Draymond Green's replacement in Paschal! when are these freaking NBA clubs going to stop selling this team second round picks??

[Kurgan]

Damn you Warriors...

Warriors bought this pick too. Not bad for them. Meanwhile, Spurs are paying 5 mil to the Raptors to trade them Kawhi

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs going to take Bol Bol at 49, his knees are going to hold up, and he's going to be 2023 NBA Finals MVP.

[Blackhaus]

When this duse turns the shit Ayala need to bow the fuck dowm

[ZeusWillJudge]

Weird 2nd round, a lot of interesting players dropping - Roby, Bol, Dort, Lecque, Porter, King, Paschall...

I said I thought that Bol's people hired publicists to hype him (as did a few others). It fooled a lot of fans, but not GM's.

I don't think Lecque will get drafted. He'd be fun to watch in Austin.

Paschall and Dort will be coming off the board here soon.

[Blackhaus]

Bol bol will never make it. It’s thong maker lifht

[lmbebo]

wonder if bol bol even gets drafted now?@

[Philthemage]

Bol Bol has been abandoned for so long he's got cobwebs on his suit

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Golden State just bought the second round pick and drafted Draymond Green's replacement in Paschal! when are these freaking NBA clubs going to stop selling this team second round picks??

Calm down Beavis. There's a reason he was a four year guy.

[slick'81]

Of course warriors dont even try and get players

[LCM]

Schofield just went to the Wizards

[Ron Swanson]

Bol Bol going to Miami

[childishbambi]

hmm Spurs got no one I thought they could use. Hunter Sekou Goga Okeke Johnson Kabengele Windler Reid

[Dejounte]

Take Porter or Roby. Or even Tucker. Good players still available

[sasaint]

Bol bol will never make it. It’s thong maker lifht

That's exactly how he strikes me, too. :toast

[baseline bum]

Of course warriors dont even try and get players

I know man, it's like when the Lakers got Cory Hightower. The rich get richer.

[sasaint]

Take Porter or Roby. Or even Tucker. Good players still available

All will be gone.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Golden State just bought the second round pick and drafted Draymond Green's replacement in Paschal! when are these freaking NBA clubs going to stop selling this team second round picks??


GSW is going to have a few extra roster spots next year. It still pisses me off that second round picks are out there for cash, and the Spurs never make that deal. If you're supposed to be so good at drafting, that ought to be a no-brainer.

[Ron Swanson]

Bol Bol going to Miami

Being traded to Denver

[absoloot66]

Bol Bol has been abandoned for so long he's got cobwebs on his suit

:rollin

[NickiRasgo]

Damn Warriors. I wanted Eric Paschall as similar to Draymond Green then they drafted him. :bang

[Marcus Bryant]

It’s like Manute fathered a child by Michael Jackson.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Bol Bol going to Miami


Poor bastard just looks miserable after finally getting his name called. He really thought he was going in the first round.

[Robz4000]

hmm Spurs got no one I thought they could use. Hunter Sekou Goga Okeke Johnson Kabengele Windler Reid

Spurs did get Johnson.

[Marcus Bryant]

I know man, it's like when the Lakers got Cory Hightower. The rich get richer.

:tu

[DAF86]

Bol Bol going to Denver.

[Ron Swanson]

Mavs picking Roby

[Jsmythe]

I'm hoping for one of Isaiah Roby, Jontay Porter, or Louis King. Edit: Or Yovel Zoosman.

[BatManu20]

Dammit Mavs just took Roby

[Immortal Spur]

dam roby gone

[GAustex]

Can anyone win the $100?

[DAF86]

Fuck the Pistons on this draft.

[venitian navigator]

fuck...I really hoped we could have stealed Roby...

[Ron Swanson]

THT to the Lakers

[FkLA]

fucking Pistons

Roby > Johnson

euro stash coming up at 49

[ZeusWillJudge]

Spurs did get Johnson.


Just not a big Johnson.

[LCM]

King, Dort, and Lecque available

[Cardinal]

Would be great to take a swing on THT or Jontay Porter at this point

[Kurgan]

Pistons steal Sekou and Roby from us. Fuck

[Immortal Spur]

dam talen picked up now

[childishbambi]

Spurs did get Johnson.

The other one, Cameron.

[timvp]

Bol Bol has been abandoned for so long he's got cobwebs on his suit


It’s like Manute fathered a child by Michael Jackson.

:lol x 2

[Cardinal]

Would be great to take a swing on THT or Jontay Porter at this point

Well shit nvm. Dort would be great too. Not too excited about King with Johnson already coming in. Too redundant.

[Kurgan]

Lakers only pick in this draft was better than all three of Spurs picks. Terrible night for PATFO.

[sasaint]

Dammit Mavs just took Roby

I was holding my breath for him.

[Biggems]

Oshae Brissett please

[4lifecowboy]

They are taking a overseas stash

[FkLA]

:lol this THT guy has a gross body
:lol 6-4, 240 lb SF

[lmbebo]

not sure who I'd want at this point for 49 ...

[BatManu20]

Spurs gotta be goin Euro here, right?

[timvp]

Porter or Jeffries, please.

[Ron Swanson]

:lol this THT guy has a gross body
:lol 6-4, 240 lb SF

A foot taller than the average ST poster... same weight though.

[Dejounte]

Take Jontay Porter please. Dude is super talented

[Cardinal]

Spurs should absolutely take Jontay Porter if he's still available

[Degoat]

Adam Mokoka coming up at 49 I bet

[keithington1]

Leque

[Kurgan]

:lol this THT guy has a gross body
:lol 6-4, 240 lb SF

7-1 wingspan, longer than anyone we drafted tonight as embarrassing as that is

[timvp]

Spurs gotta be goin Euro here, right?

Realistically, yeah. Zoosman makes sense even if it'll be years before he comes over.

[lmbebo]

Talen Horton Tucker going to Lakers, repped by Klutch Sports ...

[RC_Drunkford]

So we all want Porter. That should mean RC will draft somebody else

[timvp]

I'd take Jontay Porter even if he pops a third ACL walking to the podium, tbh...

[rasuo214]

Denver is just stashing injured high potential guys. MPJ last season now Bol Bol. We'll see if it pays off.

[RC_Drunkford]

Please don't take the slow Israeli RC

[CGD]

Jontay Porter I hope

[timvp]

Realistically, Spurs will take a Euro or some super scrub who agrees to sign directly with Austin.

[Thomas82]

GSW is going to have a few extra roster spots next year. It still pisses me off that second round picks are out there for cash, and the Spurs never make that deal. If you're supposed to be so good at drafting, that ought to be a no-brainer.

Right on!!

[sasaint]

So we all want Porter. That should mean RC will draft somebody else

Yep. Obviously.

[Ron Swanson]

Clippers drafted James Earl Jones from Field of Dreams.

PEACE LOVE DOPE!

[Russ]

These guys are available:

Jontay Porter
Jalen Lecque
Hidden Euro

[John B]

We need a bruiser big to back Poeltl

[Ron Swanson]

Quinndary Weatherspoon

[DAF86]

Weatherspoon coming I'm told.

[Atl Spur]

Louis king?

[BatManu20]

Clippers drafted James Earl Jones from Field of Dreams.

Depending on who comes off the board between now and then, I wouldn't mind of the Spurs surprised everyone and drafted Josh Perkins or even Cody Martin at 49. If not, they're at the top of my list for UFA' to invite to camp.

It went by quietly, but Charlotte did well taking Cody Martin. I thought he would probably get drafted, but 36 is a little higher than I expected.

Josh Perkins is still underrated and underappreciated. If Dort is off the board, I think the Spurs ought to take him. Less of a flyer than most of the players left.

[FkLA]

Who the fuck is Quindary Weatherspoon?

[K...]

Haha

[Marcus Bryant]

Any South Americans left?

[Marcus Bryant]

Nice.

[sasaint]

GSW is going to have a few extra roster spots next year. It still pisses me off that second round picks are out there for cash, and the Spurs never make that deal. If you're supposed to be so good at drafting, that ought to be a no-brainer.

The results of tonight's draft don't really indicate that the Spurs are good at drafting.

[Chomag]

Hmmm shopping walker?

[John B]

Shooting guard?? Fuck

[DAF86]

It wouldn't be a Spurs draft if they didn't get an undersize wing. :lmao

[mo7888]

Who the fuck is Quindary Weatherspoon?

Athletic SG 6'4" shot 40% from 3 last year

[Russ]

Patty Mills clone?

[Dejounte]

Why??

[blizz]

Who?????

[pad300]

Another F'ing combo-guard :

https://www.nbascoutinglive.com/quinndary-weatherspoon-report

[RC_Drunkford]

Somebody send RC to rehab. Just too much Hennessy tonight

[timvp]

Realistically, Spurs will take a Euro or some super scrub who agrees to sign directly with Austin.

Tbh...

[DAF86]

Weatherspoon coming I'm told.

I got my first reliable inside sauce. :cry

[Jsmythe]

Why do we need so many shooting guards? Even if this guy is good enough to make the team, he's just going to steal minutes from Murray, White, Walker, or Johnson. (Not to mention Forbes and Mills).


With pick 49 we might as well have taken a gamble on Jontay or some SF.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Weatherspoon? I thought the last thing they needed was another SG. Maybe they're anticipating someone overpaying Forbes next year?

[Kurgan]

:lol another shooting guard

[Eaglenole2002]

I was listening to one of the Ringer podcasts and the host said multiple front office people and scouts called Weatherspoon the biggest sleeper of the draft.

[FkLA]

Hopefully Belli, Wombat, and Forbes are on their way out over the next two years. Then the direction of this pick makes more sense.

[Chomag]

Pop and Rc love their unathletic white euros and midget combo guards for sure

[timvp]

If Weatherspoon agreed to sign a two-way contract or sign directly with Austin, that'd be pretty good. He's a bit better than the super scrubs who typically agree to do that.

[DAF86]

Welp, that didn't go as expected, to say the least. I really hope the picks pan out, because it's the last saving grace PATFO have going for them.

[Kurgan]

Lakers only pick in this draft was better than all three of Spurs picks. Terrible night for PATFO.

[RC_Drunkford]

Why do we need so many shooting guards? Even if this guy is good enough to make the team, he's just going to steal minutes from Murray, White, Walker, or Johnson. With pick 49 we might as well have taken a gamble on Jontay.

You don't understand the big picture. Pop gon roll out the super small ball midget line up of Mills/Forbes/Weatherspoon/Johnson/Metu to outsmall everybody. He played Patty Mills at SF before

[John B]

Weatherspoon? I thought the last thing they needed was another SG. Maybe they're anticipating someone overpaying Forbes next year?
Maybe we’re packaging any of Brynn, Mills dor that SF veteran? Crowder?

[RC_Drunkford]

Glad we didn't shed any salary. All the scrubs are still on the team. Sure they not going after Bojan either

GSW is going to have a few extra roster spots next year. It still pisses me off that second round picks are out there for cash, and the Spurs never make that deal. If you're supposed to be so good at drafting, that ought to be a no-brainer.

Roster is going to be full, especially if Luka comes over as is expected. You’d be spending cash only to have guys not make your 15 man roster and then potentially lose their rights.

Then again, the team is willing to fork over money to trade a future HOFer to pay for his trade kicker. They get money again on July 6th, so could have dealt for a pick and completed it later technically.

It’s a 49th pick. Who cares? Scrub.

[SpurPadre]

Getting Jontay would've helped take the bad taste of getting another boring, soft big.

I wonder if Porter situation is like what's happened occasionally in the past where players asked not to be drafted in the 2nd so they could choose their own destiny. I really only recall it happening with euros, but ... I don't know, lol

[Snaq O'Meal]

Pop and Rc love their unathletic white euros and midget combo guards for sure

How else is he going to showcase his GOAT coaching if talented players keep stealing his limelight?

Weatherspoon > Porter imho

[Chinook]

Tbh...

They could have afforded an injury stash. I'm not sure if I've ever been so disappointed in a draft by the Spurs. Even in 2015 when I was apoplectic about Miluntinov, at least there was Cady. The players may well be decent or even good, but considering what they could have had, I just wish they had gone in different directions. Samanic might start right away, but I don't see either of the latter two picks getting significant minutes any time soon.

Saving grace is that they should be able to sign a decent forward with the MLE. But will they? Don't know.

G league lifer

I suspect that Jontay Porter's medicals look even worse than Bol Bol's. Would explain all the teams passing on him...

That's possible.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Weatherspoon is a good kid, I just didn't think he'd get drafted. He was another one I had been planning on floating as a UFA pickup. I'm sure the Spurs spent some time with him. TIMVP mentioned a 2-way contract - that would actually be a good outcome for 49.

He's a good athlete. He doesn't have the silky stroke that Forbes has, but he can shoot.

That sounds foolish. If he's drafted, some team will be able to help with his medical costs and give him access to world-class rehab and training facilities. I don't see any reason why he should believe he would recover better on his own given his reinjury.

[rastaspur]

If Weatherspoon agreed to sign a two-way contract or sign directly with Austin, that'd be pretty good. He's a bit better than the super scrubs who typically agree to do that.

I'm thinking he agreed to that. That scenarii makes the most sense considering the gluttony of guards on thevroster.

[cool cat]

Pop & RC know we lost 3 players that can guard SF in Kawhi, Green & Anderson and have gotten nothing to replace them, Right?

He (or any player) will sign with a team, but the one they want.

within 5 minutes of the draft being over there will be announcements of a bunch of players who have already agreed to be on a summer league team at the minimum

I remember guys like Payton II and Cam Oliver getting Rockets deals a couple of minutes after the draft was over

[Robz4000]

:lol what a joke of a draft by the Spurs

Said the same when they drafted White but after I watched his highlight videos I started to come around. The more I watch of the stiffs they drafted this year the worse it looks.

[Kurgan]

Worst draft in years when the team really needed a homerun tonight(considering how terrible they are in free agency). Three tries and they struck out on every one of em.

[Gandalf]

Some fans of other teams seem to think we did well: https://jazzfanz.com/threads/2019-nba-draft-day-thread.111950/page-23 I've seen similar comments elsewhere too, including mavs fans who were high on Keldon.

[Chinook]

Looking like:

White, Mills, (Weatherspoon?)
Murray, Forbes, Walker
DeRozan Belinelli, Johnson
Samanic, Gay, Bertans, Metu
Aldridge, Poeltl (Eubanks?)

Given that Samanic and Metu can play some five, maybe the Spurs would be okay with signing Weatherspoon. Or maybe they cut Metu and sign Eubanks to better balance out the roster. I still feel like there will be an MLE player, and that would crunch the numbers way more.
