11/10!!!!!, the hill for Anderson/Leonard roster shift for next year is great imo, and Bertans at 42 is a steal
I'm so pumpeeeeed![]()
Hey, we still got pick 59.
8/10.
Love the prospects for the future but pretty concerned about this upcoming season and how our FO is treating it. I don't think you have heard the last of the Spurs regarding trades and all that. Seems like this would just be the beginning.
A.
Time will tell if it deserves a higher rating.
B+
Love the Leonard/Hill trade but I'm not so sure about Joseph. Bertans is an amazing value at 42. I doubt anything they do at 59 changes this.
Great for a future but i'm not so sure about help for next season, and they lost a player that helps now for a future player. I'm kind of undecided about it right now
It's really a Leonard+Anderson+Bertans for Hill trade. Which is a big A for the Spurs, considering Hill was going to be gone after this year anyway and considering Spurs have been needing defensive size on the wing for years (they get that with Anderson/Leonard).
And Spursfans shouldn't worry about Spurs missing Hill's offense, Neal and Anderson are more than capable of filling the void.
B+ from me overall. Would have liked Mack or Jenkins at the 29 over Joseph. But I'll give R.C the benefit of the doubt.

Leonard could help now. I think RJ is on his way out so Leonard/Butler will start at SF.
A.
The Spurs got younger, addressed some needs, and only had to give up Hill to get it done.
If nothing else, I think it's a good sign that the Spurs are being active. It does leave some question marks for the upcoming season but they obviously liked these guys and understood some changes needed to be made.
It could blow up in the Spurs' face if Anderson doesn't play well, but I liked what I saw with him last season and the Spurs had too many SGs. Overall, not a bad gamble to get Leonard though with Anderson and Neal there at the backup two.
B+
Not sure about Joseph, but he seems to be a guy who can grow into a stout defensive PG. Really like the fact that the Spurs targeted defense in both 1st round moves. Bertans at 42nd has tons of upside.
I think, if the Spurs can get that big to come over, this becomes an A draft.
Really like the young guys that Spurs are lining up: James Anderson/Ryan Richards/Butler/Leonard/Joseph. A side-effect of this draft is that the Spurs are getting bigger at the SG/SF position.
The only reservation for me is Leonard's offensive game. He's got to develop some sort of respectable jump shot to stick...no matter how good his D are rebounding are. Here's to hoping he does.
C at best....now that Hill as gone Mavs will have no problems against ya'll

a very solid
would have been aif we managed to ship RJ out with Georgie.
A-
I thought they were active and received respectable value for Hill. The minus is because I'm not sure Corey was the best they could've picked at #29. Refreshing to see them pulling the trigger into moving higher in the draft and picking in the top 15.
He knows that, Spurs know that, and we know that. Chip will keep earning his salary with work on Splitter, Blair and Leonard this off-season.
Hopefully R.C and Pop have done enough research to realize the kid has the work-ethic and drive that is needed to improve on his weaknesses (which all rookies have). You just can't really teach a 6'7" frame and a 7'3" wingspan. Glad Spurs are going defensive on the wing.
Value Depends on what they do the rest of the offseason. I'm still unsure of the Frontcourt rotation, though I'd say RJ, Dyess, Blair are for sale, though the 1-2-3 rotation seems to fit better and have a SF, a SG and a PG both starting and on the bench, and then another 2(Anderson), or 3rd PG if Neal and Anderson play together, and a stashed SF.
Value was good (Steal of Leonard at 15 and Bertans and 42 outweighs reach to get Joseph), and they fit needs and system.
A.
B
They lose Hill for unproven talent. Could have wrought out yet another NBA player from the Pacers in the deal (Josh McRoberts?) but didn't do that.
Otherwise drafting has been well done considering the weakness generally. Do not have too much hopes about Joseph or Bertans panning out, but Lorbek + Leonard seem to be in line for NBA squad membership.
A- hill trade is genius for sure. not judging joseph until i see him.
