Who would you try for at #29?

Hi guys, a bit off topic, but this Rio Olympics, Manu will most likely sharing his minutes at SG for Argentina with THIS GUY.

He is right now one of the better prospects in Argentina and will be entering the Draft this year.

Does he have any chance of being drafted?

My pet cat. I feel like he might be too high at 29 for the spurs, and of course we couldn't get him without a trade in the second.

Would love to have him on the second unit though. Could easily replace Manu as the lead, and can defend multiple positions, shoot, Assist, pick and roll.. high iq. His age is the biggest thing holding him back coming in at 24, wouldn't bother me none.

Draft the best prospect.
The odds of finding someone who will contribute in the next two years is extremely low.
Last year only 18 draft picks had over 800 minutes played (10 minutes a game for 80) and only 2 of those where taken after 25.
The draft before only 21 players have hit 1600 minutes. At present probably only two real late first second round steals- Clarkson and Jokic.

24 next December. Once upon a time the league was built on such old geezer rookies. Back then a guy played until his early thirties at most. Current obsession with extreme youth seems misguided to me. I hope we get Malcolm. :toast

I really like what I've seen of Zizic. Granted I've only seen about 3 minutes of youtube highlights, but he checks a few of the boxes I'm looking for: size, motor, pick n roll ability.

Let's see if Maker's stock changes with the workouts: "Once considered a potentially transcendent prospect, mostly by uninformed voices based on his Youtube highlight reels, Maker's draft stock has never really gotten off the ground in the eyes of NBA scouts as he has struggled to separate himself in many of the events he's been seen at.

Besides Portland last year, the last exposure NBA scouts have gotten to Maker came in Toronto at the NBA Basketball Without Borders Global Camp during All-Star Weekend, which we attended alongside numerous scouts and executives. Maker had a better showing there, but still did not dominate the event the way some may have expected considering he was the oldest player in attendance.

Still, Maker is very highly regarded by the high school recruiting services, as he's ranked as a top five prospect in the loaded 2016 class by Scout.com His competitiveness, physicality and intensity level are impressive for a 7-footer with a 9'3 standing reach, and the fact that he's been able to add some bulk to his upper body and can knock down an open 3-pointer at times bodes well for his role-playing potential. So will his work ethic and strong character. Still, his lack of offensive polish, pencil thin legs, average feel for the game and explosiveness suggest that may be the extent of his long-term upside. And considering how big the jump is from high school basketball to the NBA, it will likely take years to achieve that, which some teams may feel is not worth the time or effort it will require.

Definitely Bembre

I've seen some film on him, he has decent ball skills for his age. If he were available I'd hope the Spurs would take him. I really like his upside.

Can we draft Jimmer?

Just get us an athlete we can mold. But no more slow brainy fucks

Think Spurs will take a big, not sure which fits.

Remember Luwawu from last years draft, he would be a good prospect but projected as a lotto pick.

I've looked at 4 mocks and Maker falls between 25-40. We never thought SloMo would fall that far either.

Mocks change drastically between now and the actual draft. I wanted the Spurs to draft Justin Anderson with the 29th pick and for most of mocks he was projected as a 31-45 pick, he wound up going to Dallas with the 21st pick. I also want connaughton with the 58th pick and he was projected to go undrafted by several mocks up until about two weeks head of the draft, he wound up going 41st.

I don't see him dropping that low especially with a couple teams have multiple 1st rounder that draft ahead of us.

He looks so good because he's legitimately a foot taller than his competition. I'm not saying he's going to suck, but his vids aren't that great.

The issue with Richards is that he seemed to have no drive until it looked legitimately like he might have missed his shot and even then his attitude appeared questionable.

My thinking is that the draft and stash routine has only been a subterfuge to avoid an American player they would have to pay. Saves a lot of money for a draft pick in the bottom of the draft that would have a 90% chance of being a failure anyway.

I can't recall ANY draft and stash that has actually been successful in returning to the Spurs as a regular player. Scola wasn't a draft and stash. They would have brought him over immediately if the contract difficulties and money could have been worked out. Ultimately, he was never a Spur.

Spur fans get all emotionally involved in some guy that has some bb skills but isn't ready to play in the NBA--and then it turns out they will never play in the NBA.

Draft thursday

Mmmmm. Thanks fir the bump. Are we going to move up and make a splash, or more of the same?

I'm ALL IN for Gary Payton II. Don't be too thrown off by mocks having him in the back half of the second round. Hill was a second round forecast on DX that wasn't in mocks until June of that year, never higher than 41. Larry Nance Jr was wasn't even in DX mocks until mid June and then as an end of second rounder, he went first round.

Payton will be perfect, and is more point guard ready than Hill was.

He's knocked for defensive consistency but despite that was still the 2 time PAC 12 defensive player of the year. A slashing, finishing guard with a better than 2 to 1 assist to turnover ratio? A guy who averaged more steals than turnovers? An unselfish guard who is happy to move the ball early rather than pound and pound?

A tremendous rebounder, plays strong, plays tough, ruins teams in transition. I love him. Shot is weak but if he could just get to average with Chip's help, he's going to be damn effective. Not a pure passer, but he can pass from the pick and roll just fine.

Put him out there with Kawhi and Green and the defense will be punishing.

He's an older player, but I like that with him. The Spurs will get likely get his best years very cheaply. Who could be happy with another Joseph situation, where the Spurs pour years and money and effort into developing him only to not be able to afford him once the light comes on.

He is my number one target. He could make a similar impact to Hill's rookie year but I think even better, because Hill was even less prepared with regard to point duties and competition step up with his joke conference compared to the PAC 12

I'd trade #29 to Boston for #31 & #45. Boston gets down to 7 picks and gets the first round salary structure.
#31 Zhou Qi
#45 Fred Van Vleet.

I take it Van Vleet is the guy you mentioned?

I'd package the #29 pick with our fat starting PG for a late 2nd rounder tbh.
