Weatherspoon’s stock rose even more with a (very) strong showing during the Portsmouth Invitational — a pre-draft event focused on seniors — but, prior to that, his play under the bright lights helped quite a bit. During his senior year, Weatherspoon averaged 18.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game and he did so with 62 percent true shooting and impressive overall efficiency. It is certainly worth keeping in mind that Weatherspoon will turn 23 years old before ever appearing in an NBA game, which could account for some of that growth, but he was legitimately impressive over the course of the full season against high-level competition.

As an athlete, Weatherspoon has impressive tools. He boasts a 6’9 wingspan (measured in Portsmouth) to go along with real fluidity and a solid level of explosiveness. He also carries his 210-pound frame well, turning that into power when given the opportunity, and Weatherspoon maximizes his tools with a strong motor.Offensively, Weatherspoon carried a usage rate that was probably too high during his first three seasons but, with the way he played as a senior, his 26.1 percent usage was appropriately robust. He converted 40 percent of his three-point attempts during his fourth season (37 percent for his career) and, given the relatively difficulty of some of those efforts, that is an encouraging figure.Weatherspoon isn’t preternaturally gifted as a creator for others, as evidenced by only 2.8 assists per game, but he can function as a pick-and-roll operator when asked to do so. In the NBA, Weatherspoon profiles as an off-ball player for the most part but, given what he was able to do in Starkville, he could ease into a secondary ball-handling role without too much hesitation.

Defensively, there is a lot to like about Weatherspoon’s game, as he uses his strong, lengthy frame effectively. It would be fair to assume that he won’t be a full-on game-changer on that end of the floor but, when combined with the likelihood of a reduced offensive role, Weatherspoon’s tools could play up and he is an intriguing talent as a result.

From an overall standpoint, Weatherspoon’s primary value is that he takes very little, if anything, off the table as a prospect. He had a tendency to shoot the ball too often during the early stages of his college career but, in the league, that likely wouldn’t be an issue with role development, and his “3-and-D” archetype makes a ton of sense, particularly as multi-position entity on both ends of the floor.
The looming factor is age, with Weatherspoon already 22 years old, but that is less of a factor in a second-round pick than it would be for someone drafted in the top half of round one. From the perspective of the Hawks, Weatherspoon would seemingly be a snug fit, as the front office enjoys players that can fill it up from distance while also being able to dribble and pass. Weatherspoon can do all three to varying degrees and, when combined with his potentially stout defensive profile, there is a lot to like in the second round.

Between now and late June, it can’t be emphasized enough that the Hawks may not use all three of their second-round selections and, as such, the pool of talent in view with those picks may shrink. At the moment, however, the theory of Quinndary Weatherspoon would make some sense for the Hawks in the 40’s as a gap-filling role player that could, with some development, function in an NBA rotation.

You do realize Small Ball doesn't mean playing smaller guys right? Small Ball means playing a lineup of Players between 6'5" - 6'9", the only Player in Small Ball lineup allowed to be below 6'5" is your Point Guard.

Except for Luka, Bertans, KJ, All our Young drafted Players are literally all 6'5" and below. That's not Small Ball, thats Small Small Ball :lmao

Did you write that or clip it? Because it's pretty dead-on. I said this in the draft thread, but he kicked ass in Portsmouth, and that is exactly where the Spurs got sold on Derrick White. He's a solid, willing defender. And he has a really nice shooting stroke. I think he'll need a year in Austin, but I really believe he can be a 40% 3P shooter. If the Spurs are worried about being able to keep Forbes after his contract is up, Weatherspoon could be a decent replacement. I think he's a better defender than Forbes was. He looked pretty good moving with the ball, but I think NBA defenders are going to pick his pocket just like they do with Forbes - but that part is a wash. He's taller and much heavier than Forbes was when he first came to SA.

He's not a bad pick for 49 at all. If the Spurs hadn't taken him, I would be on here tomorrow talking about him as a UFA that the Spurs need to think about bringing in. I know the Spurs need wings, but the likelihood of stumbling onto a serviceable wing at 49 is pretty close to nil. Might as well draft Forbes insurance.

FireMicoHalili
06-21-2019, 01:18 AM
I see him getting a 2WC while proving himself in the G-League. Worthy to note Forbes is on the final year of his contract so they might be holding tryouts for Forbes's slot, given teams are seeing him as a serviceable shooter.

I think we basically replaced Bertans, Belinelli, and Forbes with 3 guys who are more athletic, versatile and will end up much better defenders overall.

NEW YORK CITY — The San Antonio Spurs selected Mississippi State's Quinndary Weatherspoon with their 49th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.


Heading into his rookie season, Weatherspoon will likely see plenty of time in the G League with the Austin Spurs as well as time with the team's 2019 Summer League squad.
That path ahead of him has proven its worth.


Derrick White, Dejounte Murray and Bryn Forbes were immersed in the Spurs' developmental approach, producing players who wound up becoming key contributors.
"I'm just glad to be part of the (Spurs) family and I'm just ready to get to work," Weatherspoon said.
That work will mean plenty of time with the San Antonio coaching staff, which began ahead of the draft.
Weatherspoon worked out with the Spurs twice. The team put him through various drills and gauged what type of player he might become.
"Just a lot of pick-and-roll situations," Weatherspoon said about his workouts with San Antonio. "They just want to try to develop me and play me as a combo."




In his senior year, he posted a career-best 18.5 points per game to go along with 4.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.68 steals. He spent four seasons at Mississippi State, and is one of three players in school history to accumulate over 2,000 career points. Those numbers get pushed aside now.
Weatherspoon will now begin the developmental side of his pro career, something he embraces.
He points out how much guard White has grown on the court with the Spurs. He looks forward to the same for himself.

"Just they way they develop players," Weatherspoon said. "Like Derrick White. They developed him over time and look what he did in the playoffs this year.
"Their development system is something I am really high on. I think I can get in there and it will be a really great fit for me."


Weatherspoon's willingness to trust the Spurs' process will bode well for him next season. He understands learning and adjusting to the NBA, let alone the Spurs' system, takes time.
Patience will be in order for Weatherspoon but he is ready for the road ahead of him.
"A lot of people recognize their development system is probable the best in the NBA and you just want to be a part of something like that," Weatherspoon added. "Where you know you can get better each and every day and each and every year you become a better player."

"I'm excited to get the work in and see where my career leads me," said Weatherspoon

NBA teams may have up to two players under NBA Two-Way Contracts who will spend the bulk of the season in the NBA G League and not more than 45 days with their NBA team. Two-Way players are paid a corresponding daily amount based on the number of days they play in each league. Only players in their fourth NBA season or earlier are able to sign Two-Way Contracts, which can be for either one or two seasons.

I’m not gonna say Quinn is special yet, but he can ball. He looks seasoned and ready.

15 + 2 two ways. The two ways don't count against your roster limit of 15.

How about the guys at the end of the bench like kj&samanic? They can be sent down and called up as much as needed correct

The only Spurs draft pick this year I can see actually contributing to the big club. Actually knows how to play physical NBA basketball, unlike these projects or limited players we drafted

He’s on a two way contract, so, no. He can’t spend more than 45 days with he big club, and that’s ANY days, travel, practice, game, or off.

I liked what I saw from Quinndary. Really nice insurance for Bryn if he outplays what the Spurs want to pay him next year.

Also, I know that it's Summer League, but I think that he performed better in his first SL than White did in his first. That's a little intriguing.

I like the trend of going away from midget, to a more bigger, physical guards. Is it by design?

Probably not.
Just Spurs grabbing players who they think have a chance to be NB A players.

He's already better than Mills and Belinelli right now. Better defender, playmaker, better finisher around the rim, better at drawing fouls and was a good 3-point shooter in college, so his shooting % should be similar to theirs. Popovich might play him in 2022 if he can outperform Bryn Forbes who signed a max deal with the Spurs in 2020

Belli is a career .376 shooter from 3P. That doesn't even put him in the Top 100 for the time he's been in the league. He's a good 3P shooter, but not a great 3P shooter. Weatherspoon could shoot the 3 that good, but he hasn't proven shit yet.

We all know that the reason Belli has been on 9 teams in 12 seasons is his defense. I know Weatherspoon lacks experience, and he would get torched on occasions because of it. But I have my doubts that he could be much worse overall on defense than Marco. He's got an NBA physique - he's an inch taller and I think stronger already. And he's shown that he's willing to stick his nose in on D.

If the Spurs weren't desperate for Marco's (hopefully) sure-thing 3P shooting, I would start giving him a share of Marco's minutes from Day 1, and see whether he can knock down the long ball against NBA defenders. But the Spurs are desperate, and that means 'Spoon spends most of the year in Austin.

He's proven that he can defend NBA players in preseason already. He's also great around the rim and knows how to draw fouls. It's more about getting used to NBA refereeing than anything else. He shot 39.6% from 3 in his last college year, so he can clearly hit them. All he would have to do is make open 3s anyway.

I like him as a big guard and who can shoot, but already Tre is ahead of him in the pecking order with better poise and defense but missing the outside shots which hopefully he's working on this off season. And Q somewhat disappointed me with his bball IQ fouling out in a few minutes. I'm still rooting for him

Nice find, Ace! It gives me a sliver of hope for the offseason and next year.
Q's toughness is my favorite thing. There is room in the NBA for a tough as nails player. In addition to his shooting, he needs to work on not fouling. I'm pulling for him.

That's an interesting place where he's shooting. Looks like the top of the arc isn't even available as it runs into a wall.

^ Definitely looks like a budget training facility with someone’s sister shagging loose balls. Hey, I like the guy, but this video doesn’t inspire me. I think he would be wise to try another team. I don’t see him ever getting minutes in SA.

Does not mean, they won't resign him at some point, just means he is far from a priority. No need to hold him back if he gets a better opportunity, sort of like Jonathan Simmons a few years back. Simmons made money then dissaappeared back into the Gleague last I knew.

Tre Jones was not supposed to be this good as a rookie, and he has eclipsed Q. I liked Q as a big guard, after the Forbes/Beli unathletic duo. But he seemed to have digressed and the Covid situation didn’t help. I’m still hoping that he can prove himself. He has range, he’s big and has shown good defense on some occasions. He just needs more time

He’s not a very good player. Injuries possibly thwarted his development here somewhat but nothing substantial. But maybe he’s improving in the G League. Still, Tre Jones is better and he is a deep bench player on a horrible team.

I remember Q was a guard, different position. He couldn’t crash boards, defend bigs, etc.

I rooted for Q, but Tre is eons ahead in BBIQ.

He is still a guard. I’d rather him deep on the bench than Eubanks is all i’m saying. We have enough depth at the 5.

Nah man. Spurs are waiting on Zollins ankle to hold up, Thad is temporary and Jock is still finding his way in the NBA. Eubanks is the only true backup 5 the Spurs have. If anything, Spurs are heavy at the Guard position. We had to move Bryn to find minutes for Primo, and you wanted Q?

We are splitting hairs here as they are both deep bench players. I’m just saying i’d rather have Q on the roster than Eubanks. In better times none of these guys see time unless we are injury plagued.

Would be interesting to ask Q or another recent ex Spur what the coaching strategy comparison is like in 4th qtrs.
Like tonights Warriors vs Spurs.
