Spurs Draft Discussion: 2019 NBA Draft

The game appears that it is slowing down for him; Remember he is basically playing against GROWN men! The side step move he does looks natural ( manu must show him that in & out dribble ).

I would love thybulle!

Thybulle living up to his hype. He had 5 steals and 3 blocks to go along with 10 points, and he was disruptive as hell on D. Neemias Queta not so much.

You're still an effeminate piss-boy, though.

This pic is of Thybulle and Queta. Sort of sums up the game.

PATFO should at least consider moving Forbes but he'll likely be retained until after next season. The guard/wing rotation after that will probably be Murray, White, DeRozan, Mills, & Walker.

Thats not true at all. The reason they signed Marco was for Danny & Manu insurance -- they needed depth in that case.

Spurs were very open minded with playing Lonnie early, but he got hurt and fell behind. Pop has been on record saying this.

Lonnie will be a big part of the bench next season if he stays healthy, mark my words.

I am now officially on the Thybully bandwagon. We need someone like him to harass and bully opposing guards and small forwards.

I still want Windler in the 2nd.

Honestly kinda hope we finish in the 8th seed so will have a better pick lol it would be dope if we could get a modern day big and thybulle

I didn't say that was why Beli was signed but why he was signed to a two year deal. I don't think he was realistic going to play much this season but could've had a shot at minutes had he not got injured early.

I don't buy he'll carve out a role next season, unless he shows that he can really defend. Murray's back, White getting more minutes, DDRs 33 minutes and the Spurs starting Aldridge and Poeltl together.

I don't see where these minutes are coming from unless he beats out Beli but Beli still fills a role on next year's team.

If not, then Beli will retain likely his role next season.

Yep. Defend well; get playing time.

Goga would be such a steal. :wow

Future starting front court of Poeltl and Goga... :wow

In the LSU/Maryland matchup, Naz Reid is impressing much more than Bruno Fernando in the first half. Reid is plenty quick with a good feel for the game, and he is very explosive to the rim. Some mocks have him going around 19/20. I really want a good, long wing with our first pick, but Naz is pretty impressive.

Walker was never getting minutes this season, any talk of him getting time was just talk. Before Murray got hurt there wasn't close to a spot in the rotation, especially considering they were going with DeRozan at shooting guard.

And considering the relatively decent year Forbes has had, it's hard to see Walker cracking next year either.

If Forbes was a disaster shooting like crap and not playing hard, maybe. But Pop loves these scrubby try hard guys. As it is there's still Mills getting his 20+ minutes, White deserving of 30 minutes, Murray working his way back to 25+ minutes, hopefully getting to 30+. Then of course Marco and Forbes. Even with DeRozan as a full time SF there's no room for Walker without injury.

Having both Mills and Forbes is redundant. I have little doubt that if Forbes was hurt the rest of the season they'd have a higher ceiling with Walker getting all those minutes, but the drill is the drill, Walker has to get over himself and probably wait another season until Forbes and Marco contracts expire.

---

I am praying that Pop moves at least one G in a package for a legit, young SF or on draft night with a pick to move up to get a good SF there.

We all want Thybulle so that pretty much guarantees the Spurs will pick someone else.

he played With Murray, so hopefully there’s a connection there.

Why I'm seeing Bruno Fernando with Spurs? Isn't he's a top 10 pick? I know it's only a mock draft but it seems unrealistic.

Herro vs. Magee could be fun.

I think they’ll grab him with their first pick, if he’s there. He’s trending like Elfrid Payton was a couple of years ago. Starts out a nobody, slides into the first round, and ends up going like #10. The Stepien has him rated #8 overall, and I’m betting he’s in the Spurs top 10, too. MT started out a second round prospect, slipped into the late first, and I’ve seen him as high as 24 to Philly.

Thybulle was quoted on Yahoo saying that he's better than most players going ahead of him in mocks. Pop doesn't like that type of arrogance, as we all know.

I like him too, he gives you some hustle, athletism.

I agree we need wings but im not With people who said you can have a good big via Free agency for the min or something else. Having an adebayo type of player, locked for four years is not a bad thing.

The guy come to LSU weighing like 270 or something and has sculpted his body. A good indication of his attitude and dedication to improving.

Anyone know if Rui Hachimura ok? Or just having a bad game?

How much would our team potentially improve with Naz and Matisse?

Read somewhere that Jontay Porter retore his ACL?
