This pick comes by way of the Raptors, giving the Spurs yet another international big man to mold into the hub of their scheme on both ends. Bitadze can shoot, pass and move well enough to fit right in with the Spurs.

Washington just won’t stop. He has the skill and feel to play the 4 in the NBA and he plays hard on both ends. The Spurs have a knack for making tweener players work better than most teams, so this is an ideal landing spot for the SEC Player of the Year candidate.

Okpala is an NBA bust, IMO. But even if I'm wrong about that, he's nowhere near NBA ready next year. Bitadze may develop into an NBA center after some years. But right now he reminds me of a shorter Boban (rookie year), with all the aggression around the basket of Rasho Nesterovic.Quote:

He has a few characteristics that might make other teams pass, like already being 22 and having some shaky offensive skills, including Danny Green-like handles. I don't think these things would scare off the Spurs. He has the same crazy wingspan body type and defensive mentality as Dejounte and Kawhi, and though his 3pt% has been all over the place, clearly has the potential to be a legit shooter in the future. It's good to see a college conference reward an all around player whose play shows results, instead of just the top scorer. He's definitely the type of player that lottery teams are historically more afraid of, so it'll be interesting to see if there's any chance he drops down to the Spurs...
I just looked at four different mock drafts, and they all had Thybulle going in the 2nd round...
The bias against older players will mean that Spurs might be able to snatch him with the Raptors pick. He's 22 and only 6'5", GMs will be conservative and pick based on upside and not on readiness.Quote:

He actually was much better offensively his first three years, and anyone who was there for DJ or Fultz would know that. He even had a mid range game. This year, everything is a three, or at the rim.Quote:

Nice article on Thybulle:

Yes he was better and this year even at 3 he shoots 33%, that’s not bad but not that good. I really think for him that everything will depend on his combine and offcourse workouts. I imagine him going 15-35 in this draft.Quote:

I like Bol Bol a lot, but I am worried about his ability to remain healthy on that tall, but very slight frame.
Get ready to roast me and rip me to shreds in true Spurs Talk fashion with these 3 picks
C Bruno Fernando - Maryland
PF Luka Samanic - Petrol Olimpija - most likely a draft and stash

Fernando is one of the few big men in this draft you could see playing crunch time against the NBA’s most versatile teams. It could mean he goes far higher than this, but Toronto could steal him as a bench/development option behind veterans Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol.

Jontay Porter
F/C, Missouri

Porter is recovering from a preseason knee injury but would be a nice balance for San Antonio’s array of young, athletic guards at the elbow and spacing the floor.
First Pick:
P.J Washington 6’8 PF
Bruno Fernando 6’9 Center
Goga Bitadze 6’11 Center
2nd Pick:
Deivadas Sirvydis 6’8 SF
Chuma Okeke 6’8 SF/PF
Matisse Thybulle 6’5 SF
Also Like:
Louis King 6’9 SF
Neemias Queta 6’11 - Wing 7’5 Standing 9’6 (Do It RC)
I would be cool with Bruno. I would also get Daniel Gafford if he's still there.Quote:

But you're the first person I've seen mention Okeke. I wouldn't cry if they drafted Okeke, even though he'd likely spend the first year in Austin. (Same with Sirvydis.) But Okeke can shoot, and if he could get some time with Chip, I think he might be a damn good pickup. Right now I see too many other players ahead of him to go in the first round, but with the demand for SF's, who knows? I really like Thybulle's D, but he would be yet another 6'5" player on the roster - and Okeke is a good defender as well.
Neemias Queta? Seriously? :nope
They must have forgotten that the Toronto pick is actually our now.Quote:
