Thanks Timvp. Wow Scott on number 2. I really like Miller, but you've been always right on your source.

Spurs still playing the self righteous card.
Apples / oranges Primo and Miller to me.
Get the best player available and stop the charade.

The Thompsons at 3 and 4 is fascinating and I look forward to half of the board melting down.
The stages of drafting a Thompson twin:According to multiple scouts I’ve talked to, it’s widely believed that the Spurs are higher than the consensus on both of the Thompson twins. In fact, one Eastern Conference scout I spoke to believes that the Spurs would pick one of the Thompson twins instead of Henderson if San Antonio ends up with the second pick in the draft.

I'll believe Timvp before Mr. Body and a couple others here about the Spurs interest in Scoot and the Thompson twins and their abilities.
:vomit
"Amen is the one with franchise player potential"...If Amen is the pick then they put Vassell on two? Or Amen plays PG??
I hope they get a shot blocking big at 33, currently with only Bassey and Barlow as Spurs defensive bigs.

So spurs prefer 8 guys to Anthony Black... Interesting.
I don't believe that about the Thompson twins at all. I 100% believe this is keeping up appearances and blanket interest like they always do. You also fail to account for how much those top picks cost in salary. Nothing about this franchise indicates they are going to spend millions of dollars on a ballooning contract on a maybe player.
Doesn't pass the smell test, sorry.
Cross Miller off. He won't be a Spur.wow the Thompson twins before Miller??
Anthony Black is your maybe player.
I think Amen could be the pick (if Scoot is not available). Pop is high on players who can facilitate."Amen is the one with franchise player potential"...

This is a lot to digest. I said earlier the twins really intrigued me from what little I saw, but picking one over Scoot at 2??? Seems wild. Hope that’s not true and we just land pick one then
But the bigger thing is the Miller news. Not surprising but I really hate hearing SA would hold a grudge and pass on a good player just because of Primo/Alabama. Makes no sense. If they love Miller and he passes background check, why would one player from a school prevent you from taking best player just because from same school?
Of course, this is all contingent on the off court stuff, but if that’s fully cleared and you would love Miller if he played at Kansas, then why would you let emotions dictate what you do?
i had a feeling about the miller thing... which sucks because to me he is the clear #3 prospect in the draft and arguably #2, but kind of a bummer to know that he's basically off the board except for trade purposes. if amen can step in day 1 and actually run point thats pretty cool though.
I never said I wanted to draft Anthony Black with a top 5 pick.
I believe this is what Timvp has been told, but I don’t believe it’s set in stone. No way. They will need to do double due diligence it seems, but there’s nothing in that write up onSA not loving his game.
So a good interview and background check etc…..the logic tracks but it also may be a bit of a smoke screen to try and get him to fall. Think about it - if you don’t land top3, you’d love a shot at Miller pick 4-7 right? I can’t believe SA would love a player and have him clear of all charges etc and pass on him because he played at same school as Primo.
Scoot is number two on his list. Am I missing something? I read through it quickly.This is a lot to digest. I said earlier the twins really intrigued me from what little I saw, but picking one over Scoot at 2??? Seems wild. Hope that’s not true and we just land pick one then

Getting the third pick in the lottery and just passing on Miller would be straight up dumb.
Sure, they don't want him, I get that. But not getting another team to trade up for him and give us something extra would be a borderline fireable (no pun intended) offense.
Idk, there's just too much uncertainty, as per usual. I'll more or less ignore everything draft related until the lottery. Too many variables to think about right now.
I like Miller, but Amen's ability to facilitate and attack the basket will probably weigh more..

The draft process hasn't even started yet. I don't think the teams can even contact the payers at this point, so they've only seen them from the stands. This is nothing more than the same big board almost everyone has at this point with some mysterious 'I've talked to people' stuff, and some EC scout seems to think Brandon Miller is off the table and some other unaffiliated scout thinks they could take Amen at two
The Spurs are ferociously and infamously close lipped about what they want to do during drafts. They often hide who they have worked out. They may have at times leaked interest in players they don't actually value.
They could certainly have the Thompsons and Henderson as their Tier Two guys. Everyone else does. It would be unusal if the provider of a message board could manage to get a different board out of them at this point, or at any point. It's all speculation. I personally doubt some of the conclusions, and Timvp isn't accounting for some pretty vital things like the rookie scale, but coming up with a Version 1.0 of a draft board before the draft seasion is official and this Version 1.0 is pretty much the same as anyone else's.
I don't even think this more-or-less draft order is going to be different on draft day no matter what the order winds up becoming. The real question is what the Spurs will actually do on the day. We won't know because they never tell.
He is but the caveat with Amen at 3 was *some* he spoke with think SA would take Amen over Scoot. But not enough to move Scoot down on his board at the moment.
