kudos to the spurs acquiring kawhi on draft night. the pacers drafted him though.
sure, the league caught up to drafting foreigners, but did the spurs lose personnel that helped with drafting? scouts, higher ups, etc?
spurs picks from 99 to 08:
manu
tony
(to a lesser extent) john salmons
scola
(to a lesser extent) leandro barbosa
splitter
dragic
and before you laugh about me mentioning john salmons, that dude would be the 3rd most serviceable player the spurs have drafted over the past 14 years.
the best players the spurs have drafted over the last 14 years: dejounte, keldon... derrick white... then kyle anderson?

Have you been watching the San Antonio Spurs this season?
It really looks like you haven't.
It's not like we have been swimming in top 5 picks, and other teams check for players from other continents now.
Lol. Nice recovery.
You don't watch the spurs. Stop making threads you troll.
small sample size.
every player i mentioned drafted from 99 to 08 was drafted outside of the first 25 picks.
i gave kudos to where kudos should be given. no shame in that.
You're missing quite a lot tbh.
Try again, sport.
i'm not trolling. i'm legitimating wondering about personnel changes within the org.
a lot of teams have hired from the popovich tree. i'm wondering about who helped draft from that period of time.
it's crazy how defensive ST gets. i guess that could go for any particular sports forum though. i wouldn't know cause this is the only one i post on.
You just googled spurs draft picks from bbref that is why Kawhi name did not show.
OP aint wrong doe.
If u ignored all the picks we've successfully managed to develop, then we really haven't drafted any good players at all.
i know the spurs didn't draft kawhi because i was watching the draft that night.
anyone else who was truly watching the draft knows that this segment aired, during the draft, before the spurs traded for him:
Congrats u watched the draft. Only spurs fans does.

every time anyone sees my name again, never forget how quickly this poster went from:

Owned by a troll? We did not draft Kawhi then if you include Barbosa, Salmons and Dragic.
Kawhi absolutely counted for the Spurs. They had the deal already set up and had to be sure Kawhi was still available at 15 (otherwise the deal doesn't get done). It's not smart for teams to trade draft picks immediately before the draft because then they don't have the option to trade the next year's 1st round pick. The Spurs told them to pick Kawhi.
But to answer the question.... The Spurs are still drafting very well for where they are selecting (let's forget the '21 draft as an outlier). Sam Presti was the one who selected Tony Parker and he left in '07 for Seattle.
Spurs have had more successful 29th picks since 2010 then most teams have had successful picks in general. It's the higher picks they seen to whiff on

Spurs are the 2nd best team at drafting when you take into account what players are still available at the time they select
lol, murray has an all start stat line and gambit is here going "WHy wOInt THE SPusees drAFt Starz".
The ones who stick out are Luka, Lonnie, Weiskamp, Primo, three of whom did really well at the Combine. Luka was picked over Keldon among others, Primo over Sengun, Moody. Weiskamp was a 2nd-rounder so no big deal. But there seemed to be over-emphasis on Combine performance without much character. Barlow did well at the Combine so lets see. He seems like a good kid willing to work his way through 2way to get to the NBA.
Im happy with this years draft. I think Spurs did solid drafting what Spurs need, defense, go-to scorers and even a high ceiling at 26th. But besides those guys mentioned, I think Spurs did pretty well compare to other teams. Most of their picks are still in the NBA, while its not true with other picks who mostly last 2-3 years. Thats my take.
