"I know," he said modestly. But the real secret was watching Wesley for a season.
Sorry, I was intending that to the guy you were responding to.

If the spurs stick at #33 I really hope either Jaime Jaquez or Colby Jones falls to us. Perfect spursy guys that I think would really fit in
Last year's draft had value way past 14, up to 22 I'd say it was pretty good:
12) Jalen Williams
13) Jalen Duren
15) Mark Williams
16) AJ Griffin
17) Tari Eason
20) Malaki Branham
21) Christian Braun
22) Walker Kessler
THEN it falls off a cliff.
this is definitely the best draft in years. Should have some sleepers out of the lottery and valuable role players even in the 2nd round
Interesting perspective mo7888 and RC_Drunkford. I thought last year's draft, especially the top 10, were stronger than this year's. My impression is that 2-10 was much stronger last year, but this year's draft has a lot more depth.
I thin that 5 years from now people will look back on this draft as one of the best...
Yea, I like him as a stash but not sure since he wants to come over immediately - He has a sweet outside shot and developing offense only issue is his defense it's not bad it's just not good. But, he is still young so he has time to develop will see in a week or so if the Spurs like him...lol
You know after spending a lot of time looking at players there are a couple that I personally like but No one that I am like they must get. Last year for me my must get was "Gabriele Procida" but this year I am fine with with who ever we get. After getting the first pick in the draft everything else seems unimportant...
I totally agree, having followed drafts since 1979. This will be one to remember, full of great players. It’s a great one to jump back into the first round if you possibly can. We have so many picks it would probably be foolish not to.
Mamu hits just enough threes to make you want to invest in him long term, but not at a rate to convince you.
He shoots well enough for a big, career 34.4%. Brook Lopez, considered a good stretch 5, has a career rate of 34.6.
Brooks commitment to develop a three point shot late in his career is commendable for its foresight and willingness to put in the hard work. Dude wasn’t even shooting that shot like 6 years ago.
Explain Spursy player.
Spursy- a player who displays Jack of all trades skill set but master of none. Low maintenance, works hard, plays the game the right way.
Used in a sentence? You got it.
Derrick White displayed very Spursy qualities coming out of college. Lmao
unathletic lightskinned guys who listen to the coach and make the right pass
I feel like Dariq Whitehead has fallen off the radar and nobody talks about him anymore. But today’s Bradley Beal deal reminds me of him because the two are similar players, and with Whitehead’s second foot surgery behind him, it’s possible he could regain his high school form and become an elite-level prospect who would be an absolute steal in the second round.
Colby Jones and Julian Strawther are now the latest picks at 33 and 44 in ESPN’s latest mock.
I favor Terquavion Smith (guard NC State) at 33 and definitely at 44.
He passes the eyeball test -- athletic, explosive and quick. He has shooting range, can pass, has a high motor, and makes a difference winningwise. He’s also fun to watch (for what it's worth). His shooting stroke is quick, efficient, effortless.
He took his NC State team from 11-21 his freshman year to 23-12 his sop re year, as the unquestioned leader of that team. Not a coach-killer like so many prospects, quite the opposite. He had a nice Combine performance last year but thought he had unfinished business in college.
Legitimate concerns exist. Statistics. High usage rate, he’s seen as inefficient. But that same high usage rate was probably a major factor in his team’s success. Taking a team from 11-21 to 23-12 with such a high usage rate – that’s gotta reflect on him and winning is a statistic, too. I’ll take it.
He has three green numbers (albeit a bunch of red ones) on Tankathon -- points, assists, and assist/turnover ratio. Those are pretty good categories to excel in. He’s primarily known as a scorer but also averaged over four assists/game, more than most anyone in the 1st round except Cason Wallace at Kentucky and the Thompson twins and Scoot Henderson in the G League. (And he did what he did against the North Carolinas and Dukes in the intensity of the ACC not in a mid-major conference or the G League like a lot of these prospects.)
No one here is talking about this guy much. I think the Spurs may take him – just a gut level feel -- and, unless some real talents fall, they definitely should. The last two guys that were this intriguing and had such a real chance to slip to where the Spurs were drafting were Dejuonte Murray and Keldon Johnson. Miraculously enough, the Spurs got both. Highly unlikely they’ll get this guy but I hope they do. He’s a bargain-basement winner; that’s what they’re gonna be looking for these next couple of years.
You can check out the video below: highlight videos can be deceptive, especially when they focus on outside shooting. And that’s what most of this guy’s videos are. But I watched him in real time on NBATV at the combine and was kinda blown away. This video is more representative of what he can do:
I think he would be very nice at 33 and a no-brainer if he somehow lasts to 44.
(I erroneously posted this in the Emoni Bates thread. I suppose there are similarities.)
Noah Clowney forward Alabama , he is easily Herb Jones 2.0 a quality front court player if their isn't a highly desirable guard. I want the Spurs to trade up to secure him.

Andre Jackson Jr. still available!!!
