Well one more thing, maybe they could sell that second round pick #38 for cash and put a couple thousand to upgrading the Spurs Talk server for us!
Have to wonder what the measures for Jokic would have been probably worse than Queen. Those type of things don’t mean much for that player type. Queen is all skill and smarts.

I know this guy is not credible at all, but why are we working out more guards? Then again, why would you work out players to trade them to other teams?Spurs are probably just doing their due dilligence.
Yea, that doesn't make sense to research guards so you can trade the pick. I don't doubt this guy knows people, but I think he get's a little carried away with his takes. Click bait ish. The reality is that there's a high chance the spurs trade the # 14 pick with the roster right now. It has nothing to do with who they're working out for other teams.
Throw enough crap out and eventually something sticks I guess.
I am going back to wanting Wolf as he had pretty good measurements, shot the ball, and showed good enough foot speed that I think he could play PF when we need to go big or also play backup C.
Ht: 6’10 1/2 Barefoot
Wing: 7’2 1/4
Standing: 9’1
He came in 6th place among all players for set 3 shots and his agility score was 11.26. For reference regarding agility score Queen was 12.45, Ryan Kalkbrenner 12.27, and past Alex Sarr was at 11.43, and Salaun was 11.45. One thing that I really like about him is the kid is always hustling on offense or defense he looks like he is giving 100% and by the way he plays you can tell he has good court vision to go with good handles for a 7 footer. I also like that he really sets great picks he can really help Fox and Harper get clear lanes to basket.
Working out guards?? Sounds like we're drafting a center at 14 then.
One possibility is that the Spurs might absolutely fall in love with a guard who they think will be available at #14 (and a steal at that spot), combined with not being all in Harper, making them more likely to deal the #2 pick. It's quite a stretch, just trying to think of something.I know this guy is not credible at all, but why are we working out more guards? Then again, why would you work out players to trade them to other teams?
I love Queen if he's there.
These combine numbers are awesome, though: His lane agility time was 12.45 seconds, which was the third slowest in the past five years of the combine.
His maximum vertical jump was 28.0", which would have been the second lowest the previous year.
Screw the numbers. The dude knows how to play. If not Queen, trade it down the road for more assets. They (hopefully) won't have many rookie minutes for anybody other than Harper this year anyway. Would rather keep the cupboard stocked going forward.
I was slowly warming up to the possibility of Queen at 8, not loving it but prepared to be wrong. Now at 14, and given his combine performance certainly in the realm of possibilities, it seems like a nice swing swing to take.
Disclosure: Not counting those expected to be long gone by the time pick 14 rolls around, there are probably a dozen guys I'd be happy to see selected. Can't see what direction the team sets in the upcoming offseason.
We’ve already got it: CP3 / Fox / Harper / Castle / Point Guard Sochan (running point)
Is Demin the missing piece at #14 to our 5 Guard Starting Line-up?(Including Wemby)
6'10 PG.
How would having queen as Wemby's backup be any different from Collins? It would be a layup lane.
Sorber looks way better for what we need, tbh.
To show willingness to draft the best player available and get a team to trade up to your position. Draft tactics 101I know this guy is not credible at all, but why are we working out more guards? Then again, why would you work out players to trade them to other teams?
Doesn't make sense unless they're dumping Harper.I know this guy is not credible at all, but why are we working out more guards? Then again, why would you work out players to trade them to other teams?
Carter Bryant is the guy most often cited by the mock drafts (including Givony) as the Spurs’ pick at 14. Carter Bryant is also #7 on timvp’s big board (all the guys ahead of him are likely to be gone by 14).
If the Spurs don’t trade the pick, Bryant seems to be the most likely pick at 14 right now.
Essengue/flemming/bryant
Queen/sorber/newell
demin/wolf
mcneely/clifford
in that order.
Combine is a great opportunity for opposition scouting as well. These kids are going to get drafted by your opponents if you don't take them, use the opportunity to learn more about them.
Lots of them will also eventually be available via FA or trade... gotta build a book.
I followed BYU quite a bit last season and I can say that drafting this guy scares me to death. Yes, there were times where he made some great passes, but he turned it over...badly, I don't think he could initially dribble against NBA compe ion, and while his shooting stroke looks good mechanically, he was a poor shooter all season. He had a few promising games in March Madness though.
Another developmental shooter that this board hates to see unfortunately.
If you watch his highlights (and factor out that he only averaged 6.5 points) he looks like a potential difference-maker.
If he pans out, he's exactly the kind of player the Spurs need.
Size, athleticism, defense, 3 point shooting.
And he relies so much on athleticism and motor that you could see him getting meaningful minutes early as a "48 minutes of " guy (which makes his role at Arizona even more inexplicable).
Bottom line -- he may be that rare bird who is better as an NBA player than as a college player.
Hard to pass those guys up.
Problem is he’s getting levered up to the Top 10. Trending toward being out of reach at 14.
Time to turn to Coward.
Or they’re packaging 14+something to move up?I know this guy is not credible at all, but why are we working out more guards? Then again, why would you work out players to trade them to other teams?
Anyone tracking Spurs work outs?
Worked out/met with Spurs
LJ Cryer, Guard - Houston
Micah Peavy, Forward - Georgetown
RJ Felton, Guard - East Carolina
Jeremiah Fears, Guard - Oklahoma
If he cracks the top 10, he may just be the next Patrick Williams.
Not much talk about Maxine Raynaud? Is he a possibility. I like Wolf as well.
Wolfe is not out of the question at 14, that would be much too early for Raynaud.
You right, My Bad homie.
