pick a 3rd string big and sign him to an NBA contract
Zikarsky anyone?
7-Foot-4 Prospect is Turning Heads at NBA Draft Combine
Zikarsky boasts an imposing 7-foot-4 barefoot height and a 257-pound frame, but it was his measured standing reach of 9-foot-6½ inches that captured scouts’ attention during the standing vertical jump test.

I'm starting to bang the drum for the Spurs to sign Luke Kornet, but whether we do or not, I too would like to see a 7-footer brought in with our 2nd round pick (assuming we use it) and see if we can develop him. It felt like just a few more offensive rebounds in the dead of this past season could have swung the outcome of several games.
This is where I like my upper classmen to go. Like that UF guard, Fleming, etc.
100 percent. It could have been third-string PG had the Spurs not moved up in the lottery. Now it seems clear PG at 2, wing at 14 and center at 38.
I don't know the next time the Spurs will take a 2nd round pick for themselves. I'd be pretty surprised if they use it this year.
I really want Drake Powell here if he makes it that far. Will be an ideal G-League stash for us. Supremely athletic, similar size to Danny Green, good shooter, needs time to develop.
After his showing at the combine he's super unlikely to drop this low. I like him too.
Truth is the Spurs will very likely trade this pick if they keep 2 and 14, or even if they keep only one of these.
Other things to consider is that if there is a guy they really like but as risk of going right before 38, the Spurs could probably easily trade up to grab one of Brookyns picks in that range (26/27)
2025: 1
2026: 4
2027: 1
2028: 3
2029: 3
2030: 2
2031: 2
The number of SRPs Spurs own in each draft.
Will be easy to trade up.
Eric Dixon - stretch 4
I don't want Spurs to do that but draft and stash a player is a strong possibility after the Nunez pick last season.
International players have until June 15 to withdraw from the draft. It will be interesting to see who stay in it.
Maybe pairing this pick with Branham to see what trade could be made for future late FRP
Harper at 2
Cedric Coward at 14
Maxime Raynaud at 38- plays chess with Wemby, went to Stanford. Same school as Mitch Johnson.
Ivasic, either twin. Maybe Michael Ruzic, Joventut in the ACB.
I just don't want the Spurs to play the "who takes a 2-way contract?" game. Sign a guy with potential to an NBA deal. There are plenty of players in the 2nd round who could be better than the Branham's and Bassey's of the world. Centers are not hard to evaluate. You just need somebody who is long enough to block shots, rebounds and sets hard screens. That could result into having a back up big on a bargain contract in the future.
The twins pulled their names from the draft and they are both playing at Illinois next season
Amaro Williams C Kentucky
Alex Congdon PF/C Florida
Vladislav Goldin C Michigan
Rocco Zikarsky C Australia
Maxime Reynard C Stanford
yeah just take some oaf who can block a shot and rebound like kalkbrenner, zikarsky, etc.
i dont know the prospects in this range well enough to meaningfully contribute
The players are deserting Calipari. Boogie Fland pulled out and went into the portal, too.
Maybe Goldin from Michigan, if C is the choice
Kalkbrenner or Raynaud
YangGANG or Rocco-Z.
Or if they fall ....
Thiero, Gonzalez, Joan
I really hope the Spurs can snag Maxime Raynaud. Would be perfect at 38.
Given their track record, the Spurs will pass on useful talent at 14 and pick a re who can't even play in Austin to warm the bench.
