Random Thoughts After Spurs Draft Livio Jean-Charles

It means zilch but nbadraft.net lists Richard Dumas as a player comparison. A Richard Dumas who didn't like putting white powder up his nose would be a helluva player.

parker schooling him with his floater

Another draft and stash per par ugh! The Spurs always do this worthless crap!

He's 217 pounds sounds fine for his height and age. Also people more often lie about there height than weight, men at least.

I would be more suspicious of the Parker connection but it's not like the Spurs had him hide. He played in front of every team in recent weeks/months so I'm assuming the Spurs just recently fell in love with him.

Well, he has been invisible for the last month after he ended his season in France. He didn't participate at the Adidas Eurocamp and I haven't seen a single report of a workout for a NBA team.

Since stealing Manu, Scola and Parker...... This front office has been awful in the draft. A, no I son have faith that this unathletic/UN explosive French turd will EVER help our Spurs

He's 19, hasn't developed into his body yet, might be a late bloomer. We all know that some guys have come into the league young and still grew some inches so that's possible. He's a stretch 4 in the making or a very good 3 with some schooling.

If TP/Spurs wanted to hide him, he wouldn't have played in the Nike Hoop Summit where he exploded, tbh.

I once spoke with Bob Hill about Richard Dumas.

Go back to the well.

Maybe Emmanuel Ginobili Jr. will be available at #58.

Growing " into a body" is all fine and good. But if you're not explosive or athletic at 19..... You're not going to be athletic or explosive at 21, 22 or 23. Awful pick.

Spurs obviously weren't on him in April but that promise could have been made in mid May.

Don't know too many Spurs who are explosive or athletic types.. He'll fit a role as a defender, spot up shooter.

I once asked Bob Weiss why the Spurs brought back Mike Brittain at a draft party. He just threw his hands up and acted like he didn't like it any better than I did. :lol

Serious question: Why didn't you want the Spurs to draft him?

Pick purely based on BPA or you think Bertans' injury played a part?

How many other teams have picked mid to late 20s year after year and their picks are still playing in the league. Spurs have way beat the odds consistently with their draft choices.

Terrible pick, I want a refund. Any first round pick should be an Amurican blue-chipper all-star!

Doesn't he kind of look like a Taeshawn Prince kind of player?

Yes. They don't need that much. Problem as always is recruiting free agents other than their own. Best thing is the opportunity to participate in a trade and take salary back for some talent.

Whenever I saw him play in France, he never stroke me as player with a potential NBA future. With ASVEL, he is just a role player averaging 3.4ppg and bringing some defense/energy. He played PF with youth teams and is making the transition to SF at the pro level but he has little to no perimeter skills. Now, he is only 19 years old so he obviously could get better. To me, a player like Jaiteh (who didn't get a first round promise), was clearly more intriguing.

I have no problem with this pick. No one on the board could realistically help us. At least we save cap space. I'll have to do my research on Jean-Charles though.

Waste of a pick. Undersized big playing in a soft league. His games probably 100% finesse. Will probably get his stuff blocked by the mere breathe of an NBA player just like Tiago. Worse, no free agent that would do anything of note is going to come here. Our money is going to Splitter, Neal and Manu.

God fucking damnit. This guy better grow another fucking 3 inches in the next 2 years.
