I'd put Courtney Lee just a notch below CDR, and ahead of both the Jayhawks.
Rush
Batum
CDR
Lee
The top 2 may aswell be a tie. Rush is going to be able to contribute more now, which is important given our core trio is aging, but Batum has a higher ceiling. If we got either of them, the pick is a success. Batum should be gone by 26, but someone always falls, and as a Euro he's a candidate(With the contracts stuff, and backlash after Darko et al.) With no Tiago, we can pretty much take best available which may well be him.

Not sold on CDR or Lee because their lack of size and athleticism scares me, even if they're "gamers".
I think I'd still put Rush ahead of Batum, but that one's probably a coin-toss. Not sure either will be on the board at #26. Oh, and I'm not sure what I'd do if Walker was on the board at the same time....probably take him over the other two.
Are you thinking of Lee as a small forward? He's more perfectly a shooting guard, for which his size is fine. CDR may be more a SG as well (but is taller, not stronger).
No, looking at them both as SG. I'll keep my commentaries on both in their respective threads.
I'd like Batum over either though...to bring it back to thread topic.
CDR is a legit 6'6, and very long.
I wouldn't want to play him at the 4. But he is big/long enough to play either wing position depending on who else is on the floor.
Was talking about his slight frame and so-so athleticism. You responded in the CDR thread and I guess we'll see....just not sold on him personally.
To be honest, there's a ton of prospects I wouldn't mind the Spurs picking up in Rd 1....and Batum is definitely one of them. See how I kept it on thread topic there.
I like enough players in this draft that I expect at least 1 or 2 will fall to us.
However, that likely only leads to me getting excited on draft day after the Rockets make their selection and __________ is still on the board. This is - of course - immediately followed by a Spurs selection that makes me say WTF???
I say that too
Serge Ibaka!
Ibaka is not bad but he could put on some weight and muscle
If you watch some highlights of Nico Batum it is hard to not see what he could bring to the Spurs. He is legit 6'8 and can finish around the rim. Very athletic and lanky and a willing defender.
I would enjoy this pick.
Gino - yeah, his athleticism is ridiculous. And a totally smooth, unconcious athlete. It's like he jumps like a normal person but gets up twice as high. Also seems to be pretty fast.
Exactly imo he can brings us more than a lot of others players , plus he have pro experience in france and in europe with le mans
He was projected as a top10 last year , if the spurs wants him they will have to move up in the draft
Wasnt he projected as the top pick along with Rudy Gay coming out of high school in 2006
But yea he as been projected as high as Top 5 previously ... and i definately think hes a top 10 talent in this draft.
im sold on him as long as he comes over right away
EVERYONE LIKES THIS GUY CUS HES A FRENCHY!!! MARIO!!!!! OR RUSH!!!
i think there is alot of good talent in this draft...anyone of these guys would be a good improvement to our bench
I'd like for you to show us just 5 people who have said to draft this guy for the sole reason that he's French.
Look at how many ppl are like "this guy is so good, oh and then we would have 3 french guys in tony, ian, and nikolas!!
No, I'll let you show me.
no im too lazy and i saw some earlier but u know ppl like him for that when theres other guys equally good and possibly better that r from america and they prefer the frenchy
No I don't. I don't know of any people that want Batum for the sole reason that he's French. But then again, I only pay attention to the members you can rely on for a good take.
Several versions of the various mock drafts have listed Rush as going anywhere from the middle-teens to PHX to Orlando @ 22, to HOU @ 25.
However I admit, the more I read about Batum, the more I'm really warming up to this guy.
i wouldnt mind us takin him but there is better
