I think that’s actually forbidden by the CBA, to have undrafted players work out with NBA players.
People are gonna hate this but I love draft season and speculating on all of it lol I’m pretty sure I’ve read or maybe even heard in an interview that whenever the spurs work out guys sometimes they have current spurs participate with them and it’s usually the younger guys. With that being said I’ve been looking at all the prospects to see if any of our current spurs follow them on ST’s favorite social media platform Instagram . It’s probably nothing… But all three of Jeremy, Branham, and Wesley follow Keyonte George, (no other prospect is followed by all 3) It’s probably “NOTHING” but it’s fun to speculate.

It’s when a team brings in guys that they work out, they’re not just working out for the heck of it. I swear it was either Keldon or Derrick that talked about working out with one of the guys guys in their draft workout with the spurs.
One thing I can predict with certainty is that the Spurs won't draft Miller.
And that's good. He strikes me as fvcking clueless, and not clutch, at all.
Wouldn't surprise me to see him slip with his questionable character. Dallas will probably end up with him if they don't change their draft position.
What a well thought out prediction. Certainly contrary to most takes here.
Miller at 10 huh?
Bilal should be number one on that list tbh
That was she said
Hum, most mock drafts have him at 2.
I’m rooting for Anthony Black. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Brandin Podziemski. Dude is a 6’5 combo who is 44% shooting 3’s, a prolific scorer, very cunning around the basket, just a real good bball player. And he excelled at the Combined, where Spurs’ recent picks were.
Still I really hope the Spurs work hard to get a chance at Black. Damn Sochan/Black would be a menace defensively.
Trying to score but Floppy can't get the balls in good shooting position.
Maybe it's my perfect world prediction about Miller. I know character doesn't really matter anymore.
I'd dig that as well.
You should read up on the what actually happened. Including the texts. We’ve all made questionable decisions in life but it’s clear by all the information that he had no knowledge of what was about to transpire. Hindsight is always 20/20. A few bad decisions shouldn’t equate to “character” problems. Especially with no history of past events. But I understand a young black athlete will be judged to a different standard.
He won’t fall past 5 and probably not past 4.
I’ll go on the record that I don’t believe he’ll have character issues in the league.
The "pat down" on the team intros, etc., after the incident were a little much, as well, considering the cir stances, and I'd have the same opinion if he were white. Character shouldn't be graded by the color of your skin. Maybe his coaches should have been in his ear, and I know he's young, but he seems to not think through the consequences of his actions very well and how this is just a bad look. If he were my son, or a player on my team, I'd tell him as much.
For me, I'm more concerned about his crappy NCAA tournament as anything off the court. His one chance to show he could carry a team in games that matter and he sucked. We'll see, but I'm not putting a high ceiling on this guy.
But I agree that he probably won't be a problem child in the league. The nice thing is that these guys are incredibly young and he's got time to mature and figure it out.

I agree on the pregame routine. Tone deaf for sure. Definitely speaks to team culture as well. No one thought to say anything to him about that routine. He’d been doing it all season. He should have thought twice and someone should have said something to him.
I’m not concerned with his tourney. He was under death threats and his team played like dog .
Yeah...Charlotte. MJ's drafting history...I could see it. If he slips past 2 let's see if I'm right...as mentioned to B2B, I'm probably short-sighted in thinking character really matters these days. But that and his poor NCAA tournament wouldn't give me warm and fuzzy feelings if I'm looking at him top 5.
And, I could be wrong about him and he might own the league someday. At least he won't be a Spur.

I don't get SpursTalk fascination with Anthony Black. That shot is putrid, I see no chance of fixing that. The last thing we need is another guard/perimeter player that can't shoot/score.
I don’t look at Black through scoring goggles. You should look at Black the same way many here view Sochan. He’s that kinda player
It's not as completely broken as Amen's or Ausar's. Not even close.
I mean, it's been said a thousand times: very good perimeter on-ball defense, incredible help defense potential, much bigger and stronger than most guards, strong sense of pace, draws fouls at a high rate, high end ability to manipulate defenses, notably fast processing on both ends of the floor, very high BBIQ, high intangibles, makes plays on both ends of the court.
I don't know where I place him, but ignoring the above is senseless.
We're not gonna take that road again but at the end of the day, whether or not he knew why, and no matter how his laweyrs presented the incident, he still brought a ing gun to some place to a pal who asked him to and where a young woman died... I don't know how many people on this board found themselves in that situation at 20. And who is ing clueless enough just to obey like a good boy and not ask themselves why? At best you look like dumb wannabe gangsta beta.
Would you bring a gun to a friend to some place who asked you to? Who keeps their buddies' guns home anyway ? This isn't like, "Oops, I better be careful who I'm hanging around with, I've learned my lesson, I won't hold and give guns to my buddies from now on, without asking why...!" Ja morant written all over him. And not need to make everything a question of race. he could be white, green or orange that I wouldn't change a single word.
Trading up for Anthony Black would be the best thing we could do to pair with Wembenyama. Whatever it takes. He’ll get a great floater and good 3 point shot by year 3 to go with his “A” skills in other areas.
It’s a normalized practice to swap guns. Maga s will tell you time and again that passing guns amongst friends is a as normal as passing chewing gum.
You want to hold yourself to a higher standard of respect for firearms I’ll applaud you and most certainly agree but I’m not going to demonize one person for doing something that a whole group of people have worked hard to legitimize.
We should have laws about exchanging guns like trading cards but we can’t get the right representation to accomplish that.
