As I said, he does with that body type, so long as he regains more mobility.
There's been plenty of players with + physical tools who changed their reputation as defenders over time.
Local news here in Toronto reporting the opposite. Weighing pro options; NBA draft or Ignite. Won’t play college ball.

I'm seeing that Leonard Miller has not pulled out of the draft, has ruled out college, and might go to the G League Ignite.
Still stunned by Alondes’ wizardry with the ball in his hands. Hope he’s the 25th pick or our 2nd rounder. I don’t remember liking this many players in the draft ever. Deep draft.
I can't imagine thinking Griffin is suddenly going to become athletic and un-cement footed over time.
I think ST slanders AJ Griffin a bit too much, he’s not somebody I want the spurs to target but if his Medicals are in the clear he’s a lottery talent. His HS tape is Zion esque.
It ain't high school anymore. He's a really poor defender in a way that will get exponentially worse in the NBA, and he doesn't do much other than shoot. Somehow he got pinned in the top 10 and is sticking there. If a newcomer objectively evaluated these players he'd be closer to 20.
Film doesn’t lie though, he got pinned in the top 10 because he was ranked as a top prospect and showed enough. All Shaedon Sharpe has is HS footage and he’s gonna go top 6 in the draft most likely. His injury history is a BIG concern and that will probably drop him in the draft but people around here act as if he’s a complete scrub. With that being said I don’t want him on the spurs lol he’s just not as bad as ST acts like he is imo.
I haven't looked at his HS tape, but I watched him play at Duke and dude had Zion's athleticism. 300 lbs+, injury riddled Zion, that is. Unless by some miracle he regains his form, I wouldn't touch him at no. 9, not even with a 10 ft pole.
I didn't say he would.
Yup. I kept reading this was a weak draft... people usually go by the top players, and this draft is not as star stacked as 2021 in the top 8. But after that, this draft looks MUCH better. There are a lot of very good prospects, if we use our picks wisely this could be a pivotal event.
I dont read people saying week but rather filled with good but not great players. And maybe some particularly like this draft because spurs have 3 picks ans bad badly need a scorer, and maybe looked further in that one, with every year more and more information (or desinformation) and hype on social media from more and more "pundits"...
Every player is "intriguing" or "impressing" nowadays in the draft.. The truth is we don't know yet and most people never even really saw these young guys in college... Some top 3 picks might bust while later picks will boom. Look at how Leonard Miller went from potential lottery pick to probably wtihdrawing from the draft... I haven't personnaly seen anything yet telling me that this class was particularly great, qiute the contrary, many lottery players seeming to come with flaws, starting by Chet.
Lol, what a shocker. Dude played this perfectly.
Or we could go find ourselves some electrolytes like last year and not know a ing thing about who we pick this time next year. Hope we go high floor this year instead of shooting for a hidden gem like we did on Primo and Luka.
I'll be a happy camper with some combination of Murray, Dieng, Jovic, or Mathurian, or Sochan at 9, followed by any of those still available at 20. Then Eason or Daniels, at 20 or 25, if still on the board. Then burn at 38. That would go a LONG ways toward filling problem areas and providing depth where urgently needed.
Is Jovic high floor? And at #9?
I’m increasingly of the belief that, with Sharpe’s stock seeming to be on the wane, he may be available at #9. Should that be the case, I cannot imagine the Spurs would pass on him.
I'm beginning to wonder if Sharpe isn't actually an urban legend.., the man who feared that playing basketball would ruin his career as a basketball player. Sounds like the stuff nightmares are made of.
22 more days until we find out who our four or three new rooks are
Primo’s workout last year was reportedly scheduled 30 days from Draft Day last year
maybe the prospects who the Spurs brought in early for workouts this year are an indicator who they might draft
PBJ, Minott(presumably), Alondes, Kendall Brown, not sure who else
of course, it’s not all going to be reported…
edit:
more guys they brought in from ptr
Simberg also reports Smith was part of a group the Spurs brought in this Tuesday, including Moussa Diabate, Harrison Ingram, Tyrese Martin, Pete Nance, and Drew Peterson.

The speculation is more fun than who they actually draft tbh…
thats why this site gets clicks
Oh didnt see anyone else post this but Harrison Ingram is going back to college
The Spurs hosted Kansas Jayhawks forward Jalen Wilson for a pre-draft workout, according to reports Monday from The Topeka Capital-Journal.

The San Antonio Spurs conducted a pre-draft workout with Tulsa forward Jeriah Horne in late April at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament in Portsmouth, VA., according to reports from SBNation Tuesday.
