Official 2010 NBA Draft Day Thread

[Thompson]

A question of etiquette: will Anderson be allowed to wear 23, which is what Gee currently wears, or will he be forced to pick something else?

That's assuming we keep Gee of course. Either way, if Splitter wears 22 we'll have 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 on the team.

I like Trevor Booker and taking him that high makes sense for an idiot like David Kahn

fify

[benefactor]

I guess we were overrating Whiteside and Alabi

There were always early second round material. I have no idea why any team would lock up guaranteed money on either one.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Come on someone pick Damion James.

I'm feeling really bad for this guy.

He could have been drafted higher than this after his freshman year.

[DrSteffo]

The team still needs another good big.

and a 3 with a pulse/heart/balls

[pad300]

How? What are his weaknesses?

He doesn't have a position. He can't shoot well enough to play at 3 and he can't survive in the post.

Not so much a problem on the offensive end, there he's a bit of a mismatch. But I can't see him guarding an NBA wing who's faster than Szerbiak, and I can't see him covering a decent big - say Scola...

[DPG21920]

Lets hope this turns out better than the Jack McClinton pick. I perfectly understand the pick and he fills a role (hopefully).

The Blazers were the source of the misinformation that was out there about Williams. KP talked me out of putting him at 22 in my mock.

Then you should be fired for not doing your job chad.

[TheProfessor]

If only there had been a great rebounding SF available when we drafted. Oh, wait....

Doesn't seem like anyone's chomping at the bit to get James at this point.

[dbestpro]

imagine the meltdown if we had took Booker.

[scottspurs]

Congrads to James

[VBM]

Lol @ disappointed Hawks fans...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Yeah!!!!! Kick ass

Good luck James. You finally got your payday.

[angelbelow]

[Shastafarian]

This has to be a trade right?

[SpursTillTheEnd]

[EJFischer]

Come on someone pick Damion James.

No! Now everyone needs to say terrible things about Damion James. He's overrated! Don't take him! Let him fall to 49!

I'm sure they'll keep Gee, he played great at the end of the season. Best of all the projects imo

Spurs GM RC Buford said Damien James didn't work out much last 4-5 due to injury, causing him to fall. RC thought he would go higher.

[dbestpro]

James reminds me of Kersey.

[Killakobe81]

Great pick by Spurs!!! (As usual)
I think you start Manu and Tony make Anderson your 6th man


And trade Hill to the Lakers for Sasha, Luke or Brown (pick one) plus a future 2nd rounder ... LMAO

Seriously though last 2 drafts great work by Spurs ...

[mexicanjunior]

Love the Anderson pick...

[pad300]

I'd say starting SF is where we need to improve, especially defensively. We need another lockdown guy to make the system work. Where can we find one of those?

Sign Dominic Mcguire maybe? He'd probably be quite doable for the LLE...

[DPG21920]

Minny all over the place.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

that. I respect Damion, he tried his best, and Barnes put him in a position to fail. I wanted him to get a 1st round payday. He deserved it. Just did not want us to pick him at 20.
