How's the draft looking like next year?

[SpurPadre]

With the tank finally likely to come this season, how does the draft look like next year? I know alot of you are pretty good about keeping tabs with college players so please chime in.

[duncan2150]

Next draft looks pretty good, i don't see a lot of the prospects but there is a belief that the class will be good.

[Mr. Body]

This team isn't tanking. Do people not understand what words mean?

Spurs tanking for white American stringbean Chet Holmgren(#1 on mock drafts). Def excited for this guy:

:lol No wonder they chose this year to tank. He fulfills both their requirements: 1. He's white 2. Probably high character too.

Did he escape Auschwitz?

[Darius Bieber]

Did he escape Auschwitz?

Yeah, dude needs to put on weight if he’s gonna be the #1 pick…

[GreekSpursfan]

Nikola Jovic, that is all. And we're tanking whether we like it or not, the roster stinks

[Robz4000]

Kinda like this year's: top 4-5 has potential superstar talent, then a drop off to middling players, but the back half of the first/early second has some bargain potential and maybe some all star longshots.

NBAdraft.net is terrible. Everything from their mocks to their player evaluations. I remember when they said DeShawn Stevenson's NBA comparison was Michael Jordan back in the day.

Definitely can see Brian Wrong and some white dude named Chet bonding over grande mocha frappuchinos at your local starbucks

[cd98]

Looks like all the players will stare with disbelief at the projected number one and he'll just stroll in for layups.

[JeffDuncan]

We don’t care who’s #1 in mock drafts. Our intel is different.

If we can manage to get a top 5 pick we just need to look at who’s projected to go #16 in the second round. There’s our guy.

[BackHome]

This draft to me has much better top talent then this past draft I think 1 - 3 have the potential to land you a Franchise player with good odds.

1. Paoloa Banchero 6'9 - 7'0 Wingspan Duke
2. Chet holmgren 7'0 - 7'6 Wingspan - Gonzaga
3. Jalen Duren - 6'10 -7'4 Wingspan - 17yrs old right now

From 4 to 10 - I think ELITE talent not Franchise talent but it gets you a Robin to play with your Batman type of player

4. Josh Hardy - G
5. AJ Griffin - SF/PF
6. Jabari Smith - PF
7. Caleb Houstan - SF
8. Patrick Baldwin - SF/PF
9. Jaden Ivey - G
10. Nikola Jovic - Think Athletic "Joker" and only be 18 yrs old in next draft 11.8pts 5.5 rbs 40% from 3- plays for Mega Basket - Serbian

Ps. I will leave it up to our local "Hand Expert" to get those measurements..lol

[spurs1990]

Since the David Robinson era (1990), the Spurs have had 20 first round picks that actually played for them.

The four 'non-traditional' players were:

1990 - Dwayne Schintzius - 24th pick (Florida)
2004 - Benu Udrih - 28th pick
2007 - Tiago Splittler - 28th pick
2019 - Luka Samanic - 19th pick

Per BBall Reference (https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAS/draft.html).

Will the Duke freshman be #5...

[Thomas82]

It would be nice if Victor Wembenyama could be made eligible for this draft. I wonder how closely, if at all, the Spurs are following him since he plays for Tony Parker's team in France.

[Texas_Ranger]

which second rounder are we getting in the first round?

[lefty20]

which second rounder are we getting in the first round?

The one with the best character. Then we'll try teaching him how to play ball and see how it goes.

[Poolboy5623]

Its not really tanking when you're just bad.

[objective]

which second rounder are we getting in the first round?

The one who's better than Forbes but will never play because of Forbes being the premiere pet

[Cardinal]

Assuming that we don’t get a top 2 pick but still land in the top 10, I’d love to get Jovic

[baseline bum]

It's looking like Brian Wrong will fuck next year's draft too

what do you mean by non traditional?

[spurspl]

it was said that 21 and 22 drafts class would be very good, so pls FO dont screw this up

[SAGirl]

It doesn’t matter. Spurs will draft someone who plays well at the combine. We can wait until June next season to look at guys.
