When you're the consensus #1 pick, you don't risk it.
Here is some news from the nba draft combine that says Luka Samanic is impressing:

I agree. In this draft I will not give 2 picks to move up a little bit. After the top 3, a lot of players can be really good role players.Quote:

Yeah, I can see the Spurs' trading up or out. You don't want three guys in Austin all season.
Bertans, 19 and 29 for the 10th pick an interesting offer if ATL is interesting Bertans and also not married to the 10th pick. They could take Bertans into cap space after July 1st.Quote:

19. Grant Williams
29. Luka Samanic
More and more Ive been impressed with Luka. Moving him above KZ.
looking goodQuote:

A question for all who would venture an opinion:
Who would you take, Luka Samanic or Goga Bitadze?
Why would we trade Bertans for Rozier? LOL.
He says they making a run at Hachimura cause that's the only prospect he knows about. WTF did the Spurs have to match Holidays salary? Pau Gasol and Patty Mills is the only trade that would work :rollinQuote:

Who or what is "Clan"?

I'm so tired at looking at all the changing mocks. And after about the first 4 players, they all have warts and/or risks. This is what I've sort of come down to, and unless something crazy happens it's the best I see for the Spurs of the players that are likely to be around at each pick.
19: Rui Hachimura (if available)
Cam Johnson
29: Chuma Okeke (if available)
Luka Samanic
Matisse Thybulle
49: Cody Martin
Jalen Lecque
Lecque is one of the big risk/reward players in this draft. He could be a bust, but he could also be a star. It looks like a good investment at 49.
I liked Okeke before the injury, and I can't quit liking him now. I think he'll put his year of rehab to good use, and wouldn't need the whole next season in Austin. The 29 pick would be a bargain for him, offset a little by a year of investment.
Out main priority is a real small forward. Looks that the first option small forwards in this draft that could be of interest for us are in the picks from four to fifteen...I mean names from Hunter (4 to 8) to Reddish (4 to 12) to Little (8 to 15)...these are the three I think we are targeting. So I think that for having some chances to one of them we need a pick at least in the top 12 and that looks to be the actual target as of now.
How can we get that? trading some of our outside shooters...aka the most marketable kind of player nowadays.
We have three of them imho extremely valuable...(Forbes, Bertans and Beli) simply because of good combination of efficiency and small money(and no big years) contract.
I see four teams in that drafting range potentially interested: Hawks, Wizards, Wolves and Hornets...expecially the last three with, probably, some big unuseful contract to unload (Mahinmi, Dieng, Zeller/Kidd Gilchrist).
I think having Luca/white/Murray on the floor together would be hella fun to watch
What’s with all the love for Rui? He plays inside most of the time from what I have seen, and while he’s a decent mid range shooter I’m not sure his shooting stroke is natural enough to go in consistently from three. His defense imo is overrated, but could improve obviously. I hope I’m wrong, but I’d Rather have Okpala, Samanic, Little, Porter, Cam Johnson over Rui.
