You do realize we do not draft till #20, right?
Hayward isn't the least bit athletic and not a good defender. Remember the Spurs need an athletic SF who can shoot, penetrate and defend.

Good luck to him, but a guy with shaky confidence is not someone we need.
Of course I do. Yet that doesn't necessarily mean that ALL athletic SFs will be snapped up by the time the Spurs select. Besides it's the 20th pick - not 30th.
I would be happy with a long sf who can simply shoot at this point...Defense and driving ability would be an extra plus, the spurs simply need someone off the bench (that is probably all your gonna get at #20 is a role player) who can shoot at the sf position.
What Hayward lacks in athleticism he more than makes up for in IQ.
Some Highlights
DX has him at #19 while nbadraft has him at #35.
that guy is a straight up athlete. not 1 highliht of anything other than a dunk though.
As soon as he develops some range on his jumpshot I will be the first in line to endorse this kid, until then pass..
IMO this guy has the most bust potential of all the discussed SF projects.
Really? Hmmm...doesn't really seem like a spurs pick though
What I saw in the highlights that I like
1. He runs the floor hard
2. He knows how to finish at the basket
3. He can jump out of the gym
4. He has quick hops (he can jump and rejump very quickly)
5. He does a great job with weakside shot blocking
6. He has good form on his FTs
What I didnt like from the videos
1. No jumpshot highlights
2. No perimeter defense highlights
Robinson scares me too. He's uber-athletic, but I don't see enough other tools in his game. It's true they need a SF with athleticism, but also one that at least has a passable perimeter shot. I just don't see the Spurs taking a flyer on him.
“They run like deer, jump like deer and think like deer.”
if by the grace of God he fell to us in the 2nd round, by all means take him in a heartbeat....but he is just not the guy I spend our 1st rounder on.
the next james gist
Just saw him on the live NBA Combine show on ESPNU -- the Spurs don't want this guy. Another James White.
Haven't been able to watch - any thoughts on other players at the combine?
Anyone know what's up with Gist these days? He was bad in the last Summer camp, but that seemed to be in response to the Spurs signing Haislip. I'm curious if he's still on good terms with the Spurs. He was impressive his first summer camp. I doubt he's gotten worse but it's possible.
http://www.nbadraft.net/nba-draft-combine-day-1Stanley Robinson’s athleticism stood out as one of this year’s true physical specimens. Ball handling looked terrible on the 3-2, 2-1 drill losing the ball but then regaining it by diving to the floor.
20. Stanley Robinson
F. Connecticut
In terms of all-around game and potential to be more than marginally above average, I wouldn't rank Robinson in the top-30 of this class, but he has a couple specialized skills that makes him a great fit for Gregg Popovich's system.
