When I watched him he just seemed to be not very athletic. However that was just tournament games so I’m probably wrong
This list is kinda scary since the lottery hasn’t even happened yet. I obviously don’t know if it’s real but it if is are they going to take Miller at 4 if the jump up? Or is it literally a unwritten rule that they would take one of Ivey, Banchero, Holmgren, Smith?? Just as concerning, would they take Miller even if someone like Mathurin falls to them? Scary
He was apparently pretty athletic before his knee injuries in high school. That’s another red flag. Along with his extremely wide stance when he shoots. Just think there’s enough there to warrant him dropping a few spots.
Good to see I’m not the only one who thinks his speed and athleticism aren’t enough to be a 3.
Apparently this list
Lol I only just saw this now bc I hadn’t scrolled through the thread all the way to the end. Zeus V is just a self admitted troll.
Watch the Spurs draft Leonard Miller and within 72 hours, all of the massively anti-Sharpe people here will become massive pro-Leonard cheerleaders.
, I'd be happy with Leonard and Jake LaRavia... Agbaji & Beauchamp might be gone by 20 or 25. Leonard would be swinging for the fences, and LaRavia more of a safe bet on fundamentals. Maybe the Spurs become team Canada and rename themselves the Naismiths.

this was funny. I appreciate the sense of humor.
I get the sense that people aren’t high on AJ Griffin, he’s not one of my top choices but he is intriguing Imo. He has good handles for a young wing and has a decent step back 3
He actually has really terrible ball-handling skills. He can barely dribble.
I Disagree for someone his age it’s pretty good, 2:03 mark the scouting report talks about it.

Lol I’d put very little into that random “leaked screenshot from an intern”
Leonard Miller did just declare for the draft though, but he’s not hiring an agent. So something to keep an eye on. Admittedly I know nothing about the kid and this is the first time I’ve even heard of him. He’s reportedly 6’11 210 lbs with a 7’3 wingspan, which catches your attention. Just read he was a 6’4 Guard just a couple years ago before hitting a massive growth these past 2 seasons. That definitely catches your attention. He’s also a lefty which stands out in his highlights. So a 6’11 F/C with a lefty mid-range stroke immediately brings thoughts of Chris Bosh. He’s obviously not the same prospect as Bosh was, who was a blue-chipper out of Dallas in high school.
I’ll have to do more research on him. Everything I’m seeing so far has him rated as a borderline First Rounder. So top-10 seems like a massive reach as of right now. But just watching his videos, you can see some definite potential. Not only in his shooting, but his passing as well. Can tell that he has some Guard-like skills. Definitely seems like a player the Spurs would be interested in. Maybe the intern story is legit

Definitely has some Chris Bosh in his game. Looks like a kid who needs at least one year of college experience though. Really raw just based on his videos.
I've watched him play. His handle is really poor for a wing.
Haha the thing is sometimes there is merit behind a witty troll. Character, culture, boy scouts medals factor differently into our recruitment process to an absolute extreme these days.
Miller's forehead alone is about 6 inches.
The spurs will not draft 4 players unless they have a really bad draft night. Drafting 4 players smacks of desperation with your current team. They aren't there yet, plus that would mean four current spurs wouldn't be on the team any more. That's a lot of change just for inexperienced rookies. It won't happen.
I think they'll draft #9 and possibly trade out of the rest of the first round to get a current NBA player or players to improve the current team. Funny, I think they'll select a guard in the second round to replace Lonnie. I can hear it already "we have enough guards, draft a big".
Please please please
Oh please somehow please
Thoughts on Mark Williams? He is a true center, somewhat of an old school center. I have seen him in the lottery of many mocks. I am not a huge fan of Duke players in general, but I know he is at least a solid defensive option. From what I have seen of his offensive game, he is pretty much DeAndre Jordan, scoring on lobs and dunks for almost all of his non-FT points. He is a decent passer, had some nice chemistry with that Hurts kid. I am just wondering what some of the Spurs Talk posters think of him as a potential Spur.
The new fat-head
Seems to lend credence to the validity of the list... Interesting.
The #2 ranked prospect on the mysterious Spurs linked list has officially declared for the draft. I posted in here back in early March how he’s one of my favorite prospects in the Draft, especially if we draft a Guard with our first pick. Only negative is he just turned 22 this month. Other than that, he’s a great 2-way SG who shoots it well from 3. Obviously well-coached under Bill Self. Was their best player on a National Championship team this year, etc.
