I should elaborate.. he'd be in Austin.
lol. Green is not going to be on the bench.

They're good friends actually. They went to the same high school and balled together and have been talking to each other about the draft according to reports.
Me still thinking they do a international-stach-thing here to keep all the options salary wise open (without landing a big FA).
Uh, yes the big man rotation IS a problem. Any rotation that includes Bonner & Diaw is seriously undersized and underskilled. I don't consider Leonard a big, though he is clearly the 2nd best rebounder on the team. Baynes is an up and comer, which is good. However with Blair on the way out, that makes 3 spots along the frontline that need to be upgraded. Let's also remember that Duncan is 37, not 27. This group is in desparate need of an infusion of youth.
I actually like our Inside, Wing AND Pointguard rotation.
But yeah, there is always room for upgrades.
draft cheat sheet courtesy of the guys at the wagesofwins (link below)...prospects are grouped into 3 catergories
Great - picked by both of their statistical models (surefire prospects)
Good - picked by one of their statistical models (worth taking a gamble on)
Bust - self explanatory

Assuming they don't trade their pick, my bet is on the spurs taking one of the names listed
It would be nice to get someone for kawhi to talk to in Snell as well haha
Bonner is history. They will trade him today or cut him and pocket the cash.
This draft is weak. There just aren't any real legit big prospects to be had where the Spurs are picking. Even guys like Gobert are projects that might not get out of the D-League for at least a season and a half. The Spurs should look to add a vet PF via free agency to fill the hole in the front line in the short term. Next years draft is much more appealing.
I've played in a summer league with Ricky Ledo last summer and I've personally known him for about 5 years now he's a great kid. He reminds me of KD tbh there's no way he drops to 28 the kid can flat out ball, hasn't played a second of college and is going to the league.
If the Spurs land him that would be awesome he has a killer cross over very long and is so so smooth
Its really hard to say. I've seen him in the top 14 and as low as 20-25. I haven't seen him that low yet but its not impossible he drops that low. Golbert seems more likely to be there. From what i've seen he seems more concretely in the 20-30 range.
Word? He played like KD even against you? Dude must be legit then.
His game reminds of KD like his moves and form head. And the summer league isn't with a bunch of prospects or anything its just a summer league my father runs every summer, my father plays in it and he's 49
He played like KD against you AND your 49 year old dad???!!!! HOE LEE !!! I hope he falls to the Spurs with the 58th pick!!!! DO IT R.C.!!!!!
I hope we get Muscala. He's already got a post up game with various moves, and from what I've seen in videos, he wants to get better and aint afraid to put the work in. Since we've hired the big man coach (boylen) I see him as a great pick-up.
Lmao....gtfo
He has a David Lee quality to his game that the first thing I thought when I saw him (not b/c he white either). He doesn't mind banging on both ends of the floor and he has wicked spin move for a big guy. He has a pretty good 15-20ft jumper already.
And for those who say you can't get a quality bigman late, Asik, Ibaka, Marc Gasol, David Lee, Pekovic, Splitter, Ilyasova, etc. were all drafted 24th or lower in the draft.
To me, its about the individual, do they have the tools and do they want to improve. I hope the Spurs consider buying the Nuggets pick as well, b/c I think the Spurs can get a guy like Ledo/Snell and Muscala/Jean-Charles in this year's draft to develop into potential starters for this team.
I sure hope so.
Yes this is a weak draft. Yet the Spurs are still frontline deficient - even with what they have, which is inadequate. That's not even considering the Splitter situation. All it takes is one over-zealout GM to offer him a bloated contract and the chances of him returning would be slim. Only if Splitter walks would the Spurs have the cap room to even be minor players in free agency.
Not sure if posted already, but Giannis Adetokunbo's stock is dropping due to insistence on playing in NBA now rather than developing in Europe.
Splitter will likely re-sign...which gives the Spurs two centers on the roster. I'd rather see them draft a wing and go after a vet PF like Carl Landry in free agency.
I wouldn't mind the Spurs drafting this kid. Have him spend a year in the D League and make him the main offensive threat there. Let him experience and learn in real time. Spurs will have him for four years at a relatively cheap contract.
His athleticism, handles and passing are very impressive. I can see why teams are high on him. But he needs a couple of years to acclimate himself to the NBA level of play. I think he would be able to do it in year working with the Spurs trainers and coaches.
Fair enough. Picking up Aminu to back up Kawhi wouldn't hurt either.
Franklin, Noguiera, Moscala please. Crabbe, Hardaway. Stay away from Withey, Rice and the Adetokunbo.
