Would really like to see the Spurs trade up for Rui if he is still available around 13-15 range

[Spursfanfromafar]

After extensive looking across boards, articles, youtube videos, needs etc.. I am thinking the Spurs will consider it a job well done to take Brandon Clarke at 19 and Chuma Okeke at 29. One player who will contribute immediately and address a defensive need, and another to groom over the medium term and also filling a need. Okeke looks positively possible at 29. Clarke might not be. The choice at 19 will then narrow down to PJ Washington/ Bitadze/ Keldon Johnson, all of whom are flawed in some ways. I would choose PJ Washington then.

Agree if Spurs believe Clarke will be at 19, they will probably take him to make safe easy choices for the Franchise. All these unknowns and prospects can be had at 29. Clarke is the safest pick to contribute right away and is realistic to fall. LETs see.. Spurs have great picks for this years type of draft.

[Dverde]

Any way to filter the players by forehead size? Asking for a friend.

[keithington1]

Bazley at 19 if Hachimura doesn’t fall, just maybe Okpala at 19. I’m pretty set on this

[exstatic]

Hopefully the Spurs aren't. Bazely in the first round is a major reach. Okpala at 19 is a reach, but I'd be OK with him at 29.

[Dverde]

Spurs going to draft the best player available at #19. Spurstalk going to have a meltdown if it’s another guard, but I think it may happen. I think #28 will be more telling on who they most like out of the leftover garbage heap.

Of course they will draft what they think is the BPA at 19 (and 29)... I don't however, expect a guard. There are quite a lot of big men that I think are interesting, that I expect to fall to that range (Claxton, Kab, Fernando, Goga, maybe Hayes, maybe Bol ).

[DPG21920]

Honestly, this a draft where I don’t have a strong favorite other than Hayes. Unlike other drafts where there were a lot of people I didn’t want and a couple I really wanted, I have about 6-7 I am really good with but only a few I really don’t want.

Assuming something wild doesn’t happen and SA moves into the top 5, my hope is:

Hayes
Clarke
PJ Washington
Goga
Sekou
Rui
Bol Bol

That’s the top 7 for me somewhat in realistic range (might have to move up some for a few of them). But there are others I would be fine with (Grant Williams, reluctantly Kevin Porter Jr on potential but man that would be a logjam with Murray/Lonnie/White and I think all 3 of our current guys will be good; no busts which is insane). Im also ok with Claxton, Williams, Langford, Roby and Okeke. I just removed Little from my “really want list”. I am very concerned about his flaws (athletic testing, shot, etc..). I would be ok at 19 like the rest of the “ok’ list but not moving up.

Guys I don’t want for sure:

Herro
Porter (want nothing to do with those injuries) - edit; if it’s 2nd round I am ok. Just not 29.
Cam Johnson
Bruno


There are probably some others on both lists, but Im praying for Hayes, would be happy with any of the other top 6 and pretty bummed if we get one of the 4 I don’t like..

The choice at 19 will then narrow down to PJ Washington/ Bitadze/ Keldon Johnson, all of whom are flawed in some ways. I would choose PJ Washington then.

i'd be fine with this haul but have doubts that either will be available at these slots. teams with multiple picks such as boston, atlanta or cleveland could sweep in and take okeke ahead of the 29th pick. if the spurs want him (which some outlets are reporting), then they may have to move up to grab him or even consider using the 19th pick to obtain him. if they did use the 19th and held on to the 29th, then i could see them opting for samanic at 29 (or possibly even thybulle if still on the board). but i agree that it would be best to get someone who can contribute right off the bat.

[barakz21]

So the spurs need a 3, and a stretch 4. I’m curious how you guys would feel if the spurs drafted 2 guys who will end up playing similarly? Example, they got Rui who in college played the 4, but who they’ll want develop to be a 3.. and Samanic who is also a 4, and is more suited to play the 4 given his size BUT has skills to play the 3 should they want to play big (LMA, poodle and Samanic).

I wouldn't mind trading for Snell (plus compensation), but I don't see how to get MIL immediate cap relief from SAS ... Could give them Beli and Bert, who are on 1 year vs Snell's 2, but that doesn't help them right away.

[Uriel]

My top (semi-realistic) picks at 19:

1. Hachimura
2. Little
3. Samanic

Dream draft for me would be Hachimura / Little at 19 and Samanic at 29.

[TimDunkem]

We get it, ST, you have a hard-on for Hachimura but we're not getting him.

Lmao Rui at 19...GTFOH. :lol

[Thomas82]

[Gordy58]

Rui is massively overrated in these parts, his handles are super weak, do not like that he doesn’t even average a block or steal, his shooting form is so slow, his IQ on defense leaves a lot to be desired, he’s exclusively a small ball 4 at this point, if he’s the best player at 19 sure why not. But I’d rather have Kevin Porter and Bol Bol over this guy. Give me Bazley and Samanic over him too.

Same here. Rui is at the bottom of my list.

[TimDunkem]

^Same but, either way, he ain't coming here.

We'll draft a guard with a big forehead, and some Euro stiff no one has ever heard of. Accept it, Rui slurpers.

At this point, I'm almost certain the Spurs will select Samanic at 29 if he's still available. Feels too much like Bertans back in 2011.

[EricB]

He went to the same HS as Murray. They’re very close. Murray is 100% in as it gets. I mean he might literally bleed black and silver. I think if you bring him in and tell Murray and Mills to keep him in line, it works.

That would've worked if they had played together in high school but they didn't. He'd still be worth it to me but I just don't see Pop wanting to take that chance.

[TheGreatYacht]

If it isn't Bol Bol or Kevin Porter Jr, failure of a draft.

He's one of the few prospects the Spurs could pick that I'd be unhappy with, especially if they draft him at 19. I wouldn't hate him at 29 but his tape is really damn underwhelming, especially considering his elite length and really good athleticism testing at the combine. For having those tools, he was really bad at Stanford, IMO.

If he goes in the 10-18, I'll be happy, tbh :lol

Yea I’m not real high on him either. Like you said he’s got the tools to be a top-15 pick easy but for whatever reason he didn’t quote out it together at Stanford. Silver lining is he only just recently turned 20 so he has room to grow. Don’t think he winds up a Spur regardless.

Not buying what? That Bertans has value? He's an elite shooter with good size and ability to not get eaten alive on the perimeter....

Just because Pop didn't know how to fully maximize his strengths while doing a poor job in hiding his weaknesses doesn't mean he can't be a really good bench player for a winning team.

I feel like the Spurs should draft players that have high defensive ceilings. Any weak link in your defense gets exposed in the playoffs, which makes some players unplayable no matter how good their offense is (e.g. Beli, Mills, Forbes, Bertans). Of course, offensive ability matters too, but I'd want to avoid drafting someone based on their offensive potential (e.g. Cameron Johnson, Tyler Herro, Bol Bol, Dylan Windler) unless the Spurs really think that their defensive liabilities can be fixed.

So having said that, here are some of my draft targets:

Players that I'd be willing to trade up for

Brandon Clarke
Sekou Doumbouya

Players I would take at 19 (in order of preference)

Jaxson Hayes
Goga Bitadze
Nic Claxton
Chuma Okeke
Matisse Thybulle
Nassir Little
Mfiondu Kabengele

Players I'd take at 29 (ranked below any of the above who might slip)

Bruno Fernando
Jontay Porter
Isaiah Roby
Darius Bazley
Luka Samanic

You make fair points and maybe I'm wrong because of years prior but I do agree he has value. I just think moving into the late lottery for example is kind of a reach for his production. I would love to be wrong. I'm just not getting my hopes up at all on that one. I could see him in play for the 29th to move up to 20-24... I mean I think they are attaching him to the 19th to see if anyone bites and at the same time building value for the other pick. imho

Brandon Clarke's wingspan is the same as his height. Samanic's is 1/2" different.

[Mugen]

I just don't want them to play scared. If they like a guy, they should be aggressive in moving up for him. There shouldn't be a single player / asset on the roster that should be untouchable.

If they feel good about all the choices they'll have at 19 then so be it. But if they settle because they didn't want to give up somebody like Bryn then that's a problem.

I agree. I think there should be a balance to the family to business ratio they have and the rep they've have built. It's too far on the family side right now. All these loyalty contracts are hurting the team. We should be paying people to play who are actually good at what they do.. it's like having the old lady at the office and having to let her go for a younger woman that's faster and cheaper tbh. It hurts but it's a good business decision.

All in all, I hope for an aggressive play as well man. Only people off limits to me is DJ, White, and Walker imo cause you need more time to see what you have. We really need to nail a superstar to get back into contention. We may already have that but until it's for sure, we definitely need to be aggressive.

Every year there’s a guy or two drops. Last year they hit on getting that guy. Hopefully the same happens tonight.

“The Durant situation is still in flux,” Windhorst said. “One of the things being discussed right now is the Golden State Warriors would offer Kevin Durant a five-year contract, $57 million dollars extra than he could get from signing elsewhere, let him rehab, and then work with him to be traded, potentially to New York, potentially to somewhere else.”

looks like Golden State will get some role players back

So they're going to use their picks to move up AND use their picks to get an established veteran? This is going to be the best draft ever!

So the Spurs want someone they think might go from 13-16, but probably won't be there at 19 - and someone else they think will be gone by 24. If it was just one guy they really wanted, they wouldn't be looking to trade up from 29.

I have a feeling Spurs want both Sekou and Goga .

I've been pulling an RC this afternoon so take this with a grain of salt but, I could see us giving a 2nd for him if we moved white in a separate trade that got us into the top 10.

That alone should be enough to make this nigga go undrafted tbh.

[exstatic]

I'd do 49 for him. Talent is there. Young, raw.

I'd actually like him as a 3andD SF project. He was drafted at 6'5", but has grown an inch since (certified by team doctors), and has been told he could grow another inch. I watched tape of a game with OKC, and he was able to stone both RW and PG. That's a pretty wide range of player sizes that he can check.

[timvp]

We need money

Yeah, realistically the Spurs would need to dump DeRozan or Aldridge into cap space (at least partially) to afford Bogdan.

[YoungbuckMurray]

That's what I mean :lol Make cap room for Bogdan

Seems like Warren could be the Bogdanovic replacement. Maybe they don't like where that's going contractually or are concerned that he's going to be lured (the rare somewhat in demand player the Spurs could win the sweepstakes on, for obvious reasons).

The Suns better land Russell, Brogdon, etc. or this is a terrible trade.

Don't know the details yet but that's probably a good trade for New Orleans. The fourth pick in a three player draft is not one you want to be holding, tbh.

[MoSpur02]

Spurs need to call Atlanta to see what it would take to get the #10 pick off their hands if they really want Sekou

[Mugen]

Hawks moving off 8 and 17 is good news for the Spurs. Sekou/Rui/Little made sense for them (as evidenced by them reportedly in on Hunter at 4). Those guys make less sense for a team like the Pelicans IMO....

[timvp]

Hunter is who I'd pick fourth so can't fault the Hawks there. They also didn't really give up all that much.

[TD 21]

What a job by the Hawks and Pelicans. Obviously getting Williamson helped tremendously, as did Davis not talking his value to nearly the extent Scumbag did, but nonetheless, in about 5 minutes they blew right past the Spurs as far as their future.

Of note, the Pelicans at 17 could be a Bitadze team. Hawks (10), Hornets (12), Celtics (14) look like the other 3 who could select him . . . and hopefully they do, otherwise you know it'll be too tempting for these senile idiots.

[Mugen]

Really hope the Bulls go PG or C at #7. I can't see the Peli's going swingman at 8....

That would leave Sekou, Rui, Little, Reddish all in play for picks 9-19.....

[Mugen]

Forbes, Bertans, 19 and a future 1st for #8. Pels need shooting and they get more picks.

[NASpurs]

1141831842594795521

Hunter was the only guy I wanted the Spurs to move up for.

[sasaint]

Me, too. Sorry for Hunter, though. Probably too many young guys in Atlanta for them all to be developed properly.

[SpurPadre]

I'm hesitant about trading future 1st round picks because next year's draft could be deeper than this year's, tbh.

[sasaint]

Same here. Despite all Spurs' history stacked against me, I had held out a tiny bit of hope.

[SpurPadre]

What I’d seen is that next years draft is supposed to be even weaker than this years.

I've read that it might not be as top heavy (i.e. no top 3 can't miss players) but that it could be more well-rounded overall but still, you can't really get a good feel until after the first couple of months of the NCAA season and so you never know how the current college talent will blossom by then.

[BatManu20]

My guess now at the lottery if there are no more trades:

1. Zion - NOLA
2. Ja - MEM
3. RJ - NYK
4. Hunter - ATL
5. Culver - CLE
6. Garland - MIN
7. White - CHI
8. Cam - NOLA
9. Little - WAS
10. Hayes - ATL
11. Hachimura - PHX

Charlotte is the wildcard imo:

12. Doumbouya - CHA
13. Clarke - MIA
14. Bol - BOS

Minnesota is engaged in multiple conversations on the No. 6 pick acquired in the deal with Phoenix, league sources tell ESPN.

[SAGirl]

I agree. I think there should be a balance to the family to business ratio they have and the rep they've have built. It's too far on the family side right now. All these loyalty contracts are hurting the team. We should be paying people to play who are actually good at what they do.. it's like having the old lady at the office and having to let her go for a younger woman that's faster and cheaper tbh. It hurts but it's a good business decision.

All in all, I hope for an aggressive play as well man. Only people off limits to me is DJ, White, and Walker imo cause you need more time to see what you have. We really need to nail a superstar to get back into contention. We may already have that but until it's for sure, we definitely need to be aggressive.
