pls tell this to pop until its not too late
11th picks are rotation players and most of the started in half their games their first year. The Gleague is out IMO
pls tell this to pop until its not too late
I think it’s expected for lottery picks to “jump right in” so to speak. Even Leonard didn’t play in a gleague game I believe and he was pick 15.
but kawhi was much better than this draft + spurs really needed a sf. Samanic was 19th and is in a gleague while thybulle was 20th and is playing in nba pretty good and developing. So u never know whats in pops mind.
I see what you’re saying however I don’t want to get off topic. My opinion of our 11th pick being a rotation player is based off of all other 11th picks in the past and the fact that if you are pick 15 or higher with the Spurs you’re immediately part of the team and not going to the Gleague
The FO needs to pick a player that’s ready to start day 1. Not a G-league guy, or a 3rd string guy, or even a backup. It is possible with players that are likely to be available at the 11th pick. Will they do that or just pick international project? I hope it’s the former and not that later.
Why rush the pick. It's not like they are contending.
G League mixed in with an occassional call-up is not a bad idea.
Would you be willing to trade our first to a ty team or to a team that has the rights to a first next year
for there first in 2021 it would probably have to have a protection clause top 5 protected.
No, id recommend to tank to have own top pick in 2021 draft.
We'v had exactly one of those since 1997, so I'm not sure what you're basing your assertion on.
I pulled unreal tankathon draft order
see what got
#1 pels huge jump +12 Edwards
#2 minny +1 Toppin
#3 spurs +8 Dani
#4 suns +6 Ball
And then regular order Golden ( same Wiseman but cheaper !!!!!!! )Cavs ( Hayes) -4
rest of teams -3
I think if the Spurs do draw #3, and Wiseman is still on the board, they take him.
I finally got the tankathon simulator to have the Spurs win. They picked Anthony Edwards, a 6'5" SG. The meltdown here would be epic.
I don't agree with that, the Spurs are probably looking at several seasons of being a lottery team. Taking a player simply because he's NBA ready seems like a bad idea. If they grade out a player and select a player who'll need time in the G-League to work out his game and develop, then that's fine. They rarely miss in the draft. If there's a star to be found at eleven, then they'll find him.
Agreed. Getting young players a lot of minutes in the G-League, with guided coaching and the ability to work on their flaws and expand their game, has worked well.
If the organization’s thought process is to draft a player so they can develop for 2yrs in the G-league in then miraculously develop into a key starter (has that ever happened for the spurs?)..Vs drafting a starter now...we’re f’d. Thats not a winning mentality. Draft a lesser talent in hopes that they can one day be as good as the better talent that you passed on.
Like I said in that same post, all the other 11th picks. I clarified in an earlier post as well. Most 11th picks are rotation players and even starting in half their games in year one. Leonard never played in the GLeague at pick 15 and that was when the Spurs were significantly better. I just don’t see it happening for our 11th pick. I guess you do but that’s your opinion.
I understand about Kawhitter. That's one guy, and even he sat in the corner and shot 3s for two full seasons. He was Bruce Bowen, a 3andD guy, a role player. He was not a difference maker, nor could he have been one if needed. He started about the middle of his first year for two reasons: he was already a plus defender, and the alternative was Jefferson.
I don't care what other teams do with their #11 picks. Most of those teams throw their picks to the wolves, leading to the frequent failure of young players asked to do too much.
it was random but from pure bb perspective and skills can agree with You but..
Deni in DDR out
Waseman in LMA out
I preffer 1st scenario.
The events aren't tied together. You can draft Wiseman, trade LMA, AND dump DD on the Knicks.
spurs isnt big active trading player with plenty moves. Rather rock steady. One move can force another for sure but dont think it Will be dominos action. Knowing our FO we are closer to the same roster then revolution. Rookie can change it a little bit. Thats why I chose SF. DDR as SG with good D behind is much better player. new SF can change small position direction
If we get lucky enough, I agree with exstatic, we will draft Wiseman. I don't see us trading LMA though, not without significant return. That decision won't be tied to Wiseman . Wiseman isn't going to be a day 1 starter; he's played only 3 college games... He won't be ready for the NBA day 1. Still pretty much the highest potential guy and a position of need, so he's the Spurs pick regardless.
i got 5 times spurs to top5 via tankathon, results:I finally got the tankathon simulator to have the Spurs win. They picked Anthony Edwards, a 6'5" SG. The meltdown here would be epic.
4th pick: chosen obi toppin (james wiseman was 5th)
3rd pick: obi toppin (wiseman was 4th)
2nd pick: anthony edwards (wiseman 5th)
1st pick: anthony edwards (wiseman 4th) TWICE
If the Spurs got the 3rd pick, would Toppin or Wiseman be chosen if they were both on the board?
Spurs have done this one time before: after the 2001 massacre against the Lakers. Only 6 players survived that purge. The Spurs clean house when necessary, just FAR less often than other teams. Two years later, only two of those 6 were on the roster.
well. It was mainly only SS DAnderson trade.
spurs decided bring new faces Stephen Jax BB and Parker as rookie. Main force was the same. Lma and DDR are top 2 plyz
