I'd also throw JR Giddens in there at 45. He's a nice combo guard that could be very serviceable. At 57, maybe Weems, Taylor, and I personally like Dove. He might go undrafted and could be picked up later.
I love reading everyone's takes here re: the Draft. Timvp, I enjoy your posts a lot. I had Rush high on my wishlist for the Spurs at 26, until I read K-State Spurs' assessment that he thought Rush couldn't create his own shot or slash to the basket. Granted, one fan's opinion isn't gospel, but were that to be the case, that's a big red flag, I think.....
At the moment, I'm a lot more intrigued by CDR because his ability to create his own shot seems to be a strength. So I'd have to put him at #1 on my wishlist right now.
Timvp -- are you putting Rush at #1 on your list because you think CDR won't be around at 26 or is there a clear advantage you see in favor of Rush over CDR? Just curious....again, much appreciated....thanks, man.

And the deadline is over.
Budinger out.
Lester Hudson, John Riek, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute all withdrew.
Giorgio Shermadini out.
DX list of those in and out and on the bubble.

Dang I hope we get one of those in the list now with all the peeps that have withdrew from the draft. Thinking that Chalmers might be more valuable now with Parker maybe going to play for the French team this summer...
IMO fewer players dropped out than expected. Only Budinger from the first list and the rest aren't going to impact the 45 pick a whole lot, except maybe Lester Hudson, who was early 2nd round.
Overall impact seems not to threaten Spurs' ability to pull a quality player at #26.
Been at work all day unable to post...
One thing to refute....apparently Mbah a Moute is staying in the draft.
Also, has anyone seen/heard about Omri Casspi? If he's in this draft there's a very legitimate chance that he gets tabbed by the Spurs in the first round.
Shouldn't.....Budinger and Lawson were the only two with a real shot at going before the #26 slot.
I vomit.
The best wing prospect available at the 26th slot will likely come down to Casspi, CDR, and Walker, if the Spurs are leaning that way.
In no way does Casspi look ready or able to play in the NBA.
Which is why he'd go to the D-League for a year. But yeah, I'd rather they look elsewhere.
why you like the sixers not spurs
No need...he's out.
Looks like it's down to Rush, Walker, Chalmers, CDR, and Lee.
Although I'd have to say Rush looks like he'll be gone long before the Spurs are up.
Good. Rush looks like a Sun; Lee looks like going to the Magic.
CDR, Walker, Chalmers?
I want a wing above a guy automatically relegated to the bench and spot minutes. My choice is still Lee above all if he slips.
A wing drafted at #26 might be relegated to Austin.
Obviously. And obviously so might Chalmers. He's not any better than the others.
Not so. Jacque Vaughn is all that stands in the rook's way. For a backup job.
So Lawson and Budinger out? Not great news but also not horrible. Lawson pulling out is a surprise and probably really hurts any chances of landing Chalmers at 26. A PG starved team between 15 and 26 might be forced to go with Chalmers due to the lack of point guard talent in this draft. Budinger would have been a really nice pick at 45.
Still looks pretty promising. Unless disaster strikes and players like Hibbert and McGee start plummeting down the draft, the Spurs should get a pretty nice selection.
I think CDR has a better shot of being available at 26 than Rush. I think Rush would fit and be a rotation player right away. I'm not too sure about CDR -- although he could easily become the better pro. Rush is the better athlete so that makes him a little bit of a safer pick.
