Well, either the Spurs have done much better than expected, Ford's big boards are terrible, or both.

• Why would we draft another undersized backup PG in Chandler when we saw real growth from our current undersized backup PG this season.. Make it make sense.

• And I don’t like Kendall Brown as a prospect personally. Great athlete and a good defender, but he has a low bball IQ and poor feel for the game. Watched him multiple times this season and his highlights were few and far between. Disappears for really long stretches.

• Leonard Miller won’t be available at 38 if he stays in this draft. I’d put money on that.

[jjspur]

If the Leonard Miller hype train heats up enough, he could go top 8 and, like Sharpe, push another good player to the Spurs' pick at 9 or 10. Assuming the Spurs don't move into the top 4, of course.

All it takes is one gm to accept the hype and a better player could fall to the spurs at the ninth pick. Lots of GM's aren't as smart as we think they are.

Yeah I agree.
I do think getting Brown at #25 would be tremendous value though. Has all the physical tools teams would covet and if he passes the Spurs Creedo Test (Classified ), would arguably have even more talent than Duren out of that crop.

Yea if it’s with the 25th then there are definitely worse players you could take there, so I wouldn’t be too mad at it. All depends on who’s available at that point.

[BackHome]

There is so many ways we can go in this draft since we have 3 picks in the first round and a pretty early second rounder. I am really hoping we can luck out and jump in the top 4 if that happens then you can actually start picking players around that draft pick as he should be our All Star.

Either way what happens I see is taking a SG/PF/C/ - and maybe a SF or PF in the second round.

Also, we actually might do some trading it's definitely going to be a fun draft night

[Degoat]

This isn’t at all a priority but I’m not the biggest fan of Tre Jones being our backup PG so if the spurs were to use a pick on a G with one of their later picks I wouldn’t mind especially if it’s Blake Wesley tbh

Jd Davison anyone?

I forgot about Robert Williams. If my memory serves me correctly he had major character issues. Even going into his rookie year. What about Keldon Johnson?

[BatManu20]

[Atl Spur]

Sochan & Davison first two picks for me����

LOL. One layup. He faked one clumsy white kid out of his Converse AllStars and jogged in for a layup, and it's him "dominating" the compe ion. Made me wonder who published that, and why.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I know this isn't really the thread for this, but the right thread doesn't exist yet. But Andrej Stojokavic just got an offer from Kentucky, and there will be other big programs offering soon. If you're starting a list of college players to watch for next year, make sure to put him on it. He's got a shooting stroke to kill for, and he's had a basketball in his hands since birth.

A little entertainment while we wait for the combine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOaeHIp8y9I

[JuneJive]

Peja's boy.

The stroke is smooth.

Could be something there.

Do you think he's better than Andrej Stojakovic?

Kendall Brown at 25 is great value, definitely a project but would be a good pick. He’s 18.

My new favorite 2nd Round draft prospect. We have to draft this guy on hair and ‘stache alone tbh.

Dwayne Schintzius 2.0

[KingKev]

Dwayne Schintzius 2.0

That’s quite the d!ck duster. Looks like he gets in bar fights so probably not a Spurs culture guy but if he is that might get him from 2nd round to #9?

[R. DeMurre]

Someone believe in this ?

I don't think this would be an early list of potential draft order, but I could see it as an assignment from the top for the entire scouting team, with the idea being that these are players to look at and evaluate more deeply.

[rascal]

I want Sharpe on the Spurs. Will be the best player in this draft.
