livio Jean Charles looks very un athletic with no explosiveness. In 2,3 or 4 years he'll still be Un athletic and UN explosive. Absolutely no upside.
Oh man, I bet the Spurs front office wish they had you in the draft room tonight. Could've really used your expertise and first-hand observations of LJC!

People needa chill. Can't really place high expectations on a late first rounder...

I think you need to stop taking posts as face value.
Re: Rapid Reaction to the Newest Spur-Jean Charles
Really like the pick. The extra cap space may be more valuable than any rookie would be this year. Plus, Jean-Charles has the potential to be a great fit for the future Spurs. A long 3/4 that the Spurs can develop is an important piece for the direction the NBA is going.
Re: Rapid Reaction to the Newest Spur-Jean Charles
gosh i was so excited. i thought gobert was going to fall to the spurs!
i'm also not thrilled about draft and stashing... but oh well. i like those nike hoops summit numbers. and if there's enough cap space. cause of stashing. aminu+clark, free agency? i'd like this pick a lot more.

Obviously you haven't seen this kid play, I watched the Nike Summit Game on youtube yesterday and he was the best player for the most part on the and one the most athletic guys out on the court, Wiggins was the most explosive. He is every bit explosive as Kevin Durant (not saying he is good as him) and his length (7'3" wingspan) gives him an advantage as he just stepped around players with ease for layups and floaters. And he can shoot as well. He played with Schroeder, Karasev, etc. all the guys that got drafted ahead of him and he was the MVP of the game.

Touche. I also saw that a couple of places including on ESPN's broadcast. It will probably be a least a couple of year though.
Re: Rapid Reaction to the Newest Spur-Jean Charles
@JMcDonald_SAEN: Jean-Charles basically blew up at the Nike Hoops Summit in April. Won MVP. Then didn't work out for any NBA teams. His closing argument.
Re: Rapid Reaction to the Newest Spur-Jean Charles
I have faith in the Spurs management. They know what they are doing. I welcome our new frenchy!

smartest thing said on this thread.
Re: Rapid Reaction to the Newest Spur-Jean Charles
my reaction is he better be tony parker/manu draft steal potential. the kind of guy that people will say a couple years for now "god dam how did they not pick him earlier" like parker and gino

I agree. I wouldn't be surprise if Duncan became a Spurs assistant coach in the future or like Robinson, who still works out with the Spurs and mentors the young guys on this team as well.
