OFFICIAL 2023 NBA DRAFT THREA: THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 2023 8PM ET / 5PM PT

[John B]

The long wait is over! It's time for the 2023 NBA Draft!!!

A lot of things happened in the last 6 years. Kawhi get Zaza'd in Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Western Conference Finals, our Spurs squandered a 25 points lead, eventually getting swept by the Durant-led Warriors on their way to their 2nd title in 3 years. And Kawhi started his disappearing acts the following season, ultimately with Uncle Dennis' help, manipulated his way out of the Spurs. But PATFO not submitting to his demand for a warm-weather Los Angeles destination, traded him to the cold North, just to watch the prodigal son won his 2nd ring :cry Fuck!! while the Spurs ended up with Demar and his mid-range jumpers, and a flawed roster. The Spurs were never the dominant team again, ultimately breaking a record-tying run of 22 consecutive postseason appearances. And we watch our Spurs slowly and patiently built it's core from the Draft, Keldon, Devin, Jeremy, but not without misses, Luka, Lonnie and finally Primo's one-man freak show. Spurs finally traded their homegrown players Derrick and Dejounte for future picks, as they ultimately embraced the Rebuild. And started the loong season of race for the Wembanyama sweepstakes. Fuck! It worked. The basketball gods heard the wailing and bitching mostly coming from ST. And the Spurs was awarded, for the 3rd time in 3 decades, the right to pick a generational top-prospect!

Thursday June 22, 2023. The day has arrived. The 2023 NBA Draft. Spurs fans can come out again from shame. Let's go! :clap:clap:clap

Go Spurs Go :flag::flag::flag:

Official and all caps

should we make a separate spoiler free one?

Good idea.

Let’s go!!!

I’m guessing this website crashes around 5pm so is there a need for a spoiler thread? Lol

Are the hamsters in Slovenia running juiced up on steroids tonight?

When the Spurs take Scoot #1 it will nuke the site so bad it will leave a smoking crater and never recover.

The Nuggets are trading the least favorable of its 2024 first-round picks in deal to move into the first-round and early second in Thursday's NBA Draft, per sources. - Woj

Spurs fans have it so fucking good. I hope y'all appreciate this shit lol.

[Mr. Peabody]

This will be the first draft I watch in its entirety since we got Duncan.

[GAustex]

Take the tall guy

[objective]

Collecting some of my random musings.

1. Listened to newest Locked on Hawks podcast. Spoke about how the roster is nearly full, some agents were steering their guard clients away from Atlanta because of the roster glut, and they are currently in the tax

I could see swapping that pick for either the Hornets or Bulls first rounder, maybe with 44. That saves them $4.1 due to pick 15 with the bonus that there might not be any room for rookie minutes anyway.

2. Brooklyn has 21 and 22 and tax problems retaining Cam Johnson. Maybe it will be 21 or 22 + Mills for either 33 or 44. Saves them quite a bit of money, Spurs get Mills back to be a cheerleader.

3. Because the Clippers still have 30, attach that to Batum for 33 or 44. Not sure if Batum will be a great influence considering how much he's quit in the past, but could be useful.

[BatManu20]

The beginning of a beautiful bromance tbh.

1671942176048046081

[exstatic]

What is he talking about?

Maybe the war room?

[BatManu20]

The setup for the draft room sitting area looks different too. Usually they use circular tables that take up more space. This year they’re using thinner, rectangular shaped tables, as you can see in the rehearsal vid I posted above. More room for walking tbh. Doubt that’s what he’s referring to, as that’s the not the work of the Spurs. Just an observation.

[John B]

Wemby getting his steps right. It’s really happening :cry

1671992290179526660

Can Wemby sit on those small folding chairs? :lol

[Biggems]

Stop, Wemby Time......

So, I wonder how active we will be tonight. Honestly, I have been wanting certain players along with Wemby in this draft. However, as of now, I have settled on two other players to go with Wemby. I want Ausar Thompson and Trayce-Jackson Davis. Wemby will be franchise hero #4. Thomspon will give us great size at the PG position. His handles, passing of the rock, and defense will put us in great position as he improves his shooting. Maybe, he can learn TP's tear drop. Jackson-Davis gives us an all-around game and can be our version of Draymond Green, minus the knuckleheadness. He is not afraid to do the dirty work on the glass on either end. He will also be a qualify off ball shot blocker. He is also a solid distributor.

I hope we can secure these 3 assets without having to part with Keldon, Devin, Jeremy, or Malachi. I would also like to keep Mamu.

[benefactor]

Id fucking pay to see Perk knock the fucking shit out of RJ

Looks like Wemby’s suit is a very dark green? Should’ve gone with Silver & Black tbh. Obv not buying into our culture.

1671999487504465921

[BatManu20]

Better look at the suit. Definitely green with a medallion around his neck.

Ah. Thank you.

I don’t know much about him but I have a feeling Adam Flagler from Baylor will be drafted or signed to our summer league team

[Obstructed_View]

Was listening to Dallas sports talk today. Story came up that Spurs are looking to trade into the lottery. They agreed that they would give up 10 and Bertans for that Sochan guy and 33. :lmao

[BatManu20]

Lol they wish. Sochan is about as untouchable as it get for a 2nd year player imo. Outside of some absurdly stupid trade offer, he’s going to be a Spur for a long time.

[BatManu20]

Stephen A. was talking shit about Wemby this morning in his morning show. Now he’s interviewing him, prob kissing his ass.


1672001178765328384

[TD 21]

Of course. He's everything Screamin' A doesn't like: foreign, bi-racial, big man, going to (and wants to be) a Spur.

In the NBA, always follow the agenda.

Wojs latest Mock Draft got Amari Bailey at 46. Jaquez at 19

[NASpurs]

1671999291987034115

Horribly fitted suit. Looks like he got it from the Tim Duncan collection.

[Mr. Body]

In another universe we're all fighting over picking Cam Whitmore or Ausar Thompson.

[BatManu20]

Wojs latest Mock Draft got Amari Bailey at 46. Jaquez at 19

I really don’t understand Bailey at 46 tbh. I’ve seen him as high as 21 on other analyst’s boards. I mean I like Bufkin and think he’s the better prospect, don’t get me wrong, what does he do that makes him ranked 25 slots higher than Bailey?

[Rosewood]

In another universe we're all fighting over picking Cam Whitmore or Ausar Thompson. Damn :lol

Definitely Ausar though.

[RC_Drunkford]

I have no idea, but Woj thinks Miami will draft Jaquez. He obviously got the inside scoop, but I expect this draft to be all over the place after 3 with a lot of trades

[Uriel]

Lively is supposed to be 7'1" and Wemby looks like he's a half foot taller wtf :lol
I was thinking the same thing :lol

[BatManu20]

The fact that all these mocks have us taking Colby Jones at 33 all but guarantees he won’t be the pick tbh.

Also, for the record, I think whoever gets Maxwell Lewis late in the first will be getting a steal. The more tape I’ve watched on him, the more I think he’ll be a legit scorer at the next level.

[Notorious H.O.P.]

Me: Come on Spurs. Don't overthink it.

Silver: With the 1st pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs re-select Joshua Primo from Huntsville Correctional Facility.

Bufkin’s draft outfit makes me believe there is a 0% chance we trade up for him.

[LeBowen]

Here we go, spurstalk will probably collapse in the next 10 minutes.

Can't believe we actually got him.

NBA told the Spurs to them at least give the time to show the Robin Roberts interview before you sprint up with the card.

Anothing Black to Orlando. Love that pick for them tbh. Makes me think they’re definitely trading one of Suggs or Cole Anthony.

Jay Bilas is starting to say “wingspan” a lot again thank god

[Mr. Body]

Have to think Orlando keeps the 11 and takes shooting. Magic are going to be competitive soon.

Jarace Walker to Indiana -- at least that's been the guess for a long time.

Yeah. I figured that is what was going on, which is what I meant by "You're not falling out of the jacket".

But yeah, I hadn't heard anything about it. I can imagine she'll be a good player as she ages. She's pretty tall for a woman, and you know the family knows how to teach skills. It's cool to see how they all got along with the Sochan. It's funny that Jeremy has personal stories with the last three first-rounders the Spurs have used.

[Mr. Body]

Going to the Wizards. Poor kid.

I don't understand teams that swap adjacent picks.

[Mr. Body]

Walker must go to Indiana now.

Utah will probably pick a PG at 9, Cason or Bufkin, or maybe go for Hendricks.

Mavs only had to move 2 back to get off of Bertans's contract? Damn. The Spurs had no chance there.

I was telling folks that they were overrating the leverage the Spurs had. They might well end up trading 12 for even more space. But the Spurs aren't going to hold folks over the barrel with their cap space. They'll just have to do the best they can.

[BatManu20]

Cason Wallace is from Dallas. Prob got excited for a second thinking he was gonna be playing for his hometown team, only to be traded to OKC lol.

Jett Howard at #11 lmao. I hope the Spurs didn't give up capital for this.

[objective]

Makes me think OKC sniffed out the Spurs having a trade up to 11 to get Cason and did what they had to in order to get their guy. Just putting 2 and 2 together with the Windhorst stuff earlier

[scott]

Cam Whitmore at 11+ is a fucking VALUE

[BatManu20]

Spurs could target JHS in that 14-17 range if he’s still available.

[slick'81]

Okc gonna be fun to watch next season

[RC_Drunkford]

OKC will be our main rival for years to come it looks like. How the fuck is Howard going at 11?

[mo7888]

Pretty big reach by Orlando there...

[BatManu20]

Jett Howard #11 overall?? Wow

I think both Dallas and OKC managed to pull one over on Orlando. Both got their guys while Orlando seemingly made a panic selection.

Jett Howard at #11 lmao. I hope the Spurs didn't give up capital for this.

Soft, no D, no rebounding, chucker. Absolutely not Spurs material. They wouldn’t do that trade. His college rebounding rate was lower than Steph Curry’s.

[Seventyniner]

A couple more picks and we can say Dicks out (of the lottery).

Who here had Bufkin not even being the first Michigan player taken? That had to be like +4000 odds.

I didn't mean to imply that the Spurs should or even wanted to draft Jett. I just meant that the Spurs had been rumored to possibly trade for #11, and if they did we wouldn't hear about the trade until a couple minutes later. I just posted as soon as I saw what the pick was.

[cd98]

Spurs not likely to get a trade into the first round. I guess we'll just have to be content with getting the most highly touted player in the draft.

[PhantomDashCam]

Gives you an idea of how bad the medical must be for Cam Whitmore to be slipping like this.Supposedly underperformed in workouts too.

[ducks]

go spurs go

[BatManu20]

Cam Whitmore at 11+ is a fucking VALUE

Cause his medicals had some questions reportedly. Scared some teams off.

Scuttlebutt is that OKC figured out that the rumor of ORL trading 11 was us wanting Wallace, and traded in front of us to get him.

[MannyIsGod]

This kid was a spurs fan and it seems he is so down to earth. Amazing

[scott]

Not able to post the tweet, but saw one that states a source saying Cam is falling because he didn’t express a lot of personality, doesn’t smile a lot, etc. Said this was also a reason that Nephew slid in 2011?

[Seventyniner]

We're getting close to that late teens range where teams might be willing to trade out of the first.

[exstatic]

Miami at 18 might be a possibility.

[heyheymymy]

Gonna be some awkward af interviews with Cam Whitmore once he is finally picked

[BatManu20]

Jordan Hawkins is a good pick for NOLA. Arguably the best 3-point shooter in the draft.

[objective]

I'm thinking one of Brooklyn's picks for a trade up

[heyheymymy]

Lol salty network pigs at ESPN included a clip of "the shot" by Ray Allen in Finals 2013 in their Ray Allen/Rip Hamilton player comp footage for Jordan Hawkins

Reminds me of when teams traded in front of us to get Batum, Gobert, and even last year with Procida.

[RC_Drunkford]

with Withmore free falling, wouldn't it make sense to take a swing at him?

Didn't realize Kobe Bufkin looked just like Anthony Black. Is that why the Spurs were rumored to be interested in them both?

[Chinook]

Feels like a dream pick for LAL.

[Mr. Body]

Atlanta not a great spot for Bufkin. Are they bringing him off the bench? Really trading Dejounte? What?

lol. I’m betting ATL never trades with us again. We picked their pocket good, with the Dejounte trade.

[RC_Drunkford]

Dejounte has told them straight up he's not resigning with them, so they will have to trade him at some point

[Mr. Body]

JHS to Lakers is good for him. He needs a ton of work and won't need to carry a huge load.

[Ariel]

Shocked about Cam Whitmore, I was super high on him. On talent there's no way he's sliding this way, there's got to be something seriously wrong with him.
