Not much chance Inglis would play for the Spurs next year if they draft him. He's only averaging 5 points in 15 minutes in French Pro A play this year. He's a decent prospect, but he's still a couple years away.
Inglis looks like a great candidate. Probably not there at 30 but he sounds like a great prospect and we could leave LJC in France to continue to rehab from his ACL tear.

I'm thinking isaiah austin at 30.
Non Euro realistic players I am hoping are around at #30 in order: (not players we know will be gone already)
1.Napier (Would be a great replacement for Mills if he goes elsewhere)
2.Mcgary (Guy has spurs written all over him and would be great in backing up Tiago with same kind of skillset)
3. Glenn Robinson (Good size and I think could improve on his outside shooting to fill back up 3 spot)
Won't ever gain the requisite weight to be an effective post player on either side of the ball. He also doesn't have the mentality to dominate the way his length and skill set suggest he should.
He's still very young, but I think it's more likely he busts than succeeds.
My pick is Semaj Christon PG - Xavier - 6'3 - The guy is only 20 years and has a quick first step is athletic as on offense and defense. He is already good and still has major upside as far as him being better on his outside shooting. I would rather draft a player that can start with the second unit day one with potential then getting someone with potential who may not even make it in the d- league.
about Inglis, just found that on Yahoo page: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/france-...003531152.htmlWestermann, Jaiteh and Inglis are likely the 3 most interesting french draft prospects.
Edit: Westermann just tore his ACL.
Agree. I wouldn't take him at 30 but with his eyesight problems (he's legally part blind) I think there's a chance he's available at 57 where I'd roll the dice
If he can shoot the NBA 3 around 40% consistently (39% last year in France ) he would be able to contribute right away with his NBA ready body.
How does Inglis compare to Jan Vesely a few years ago?
Article says he debuted at #32, but he's actually #38. I think he might be a riser on draft night, but he's probably still a late first round pick.
With many of the high-upside bigs opting to return to college (see: Kentucky bigs), I think Austin will see his stock improve significantly as we approach the draft. I expect him to be a first round pick when all is said and done...just don't want it to be the Spurs who take him.
Chad Ford of ESPN has the Spurs picking Jarnel Stokes in his 2014 NBA Mock Draft 4.0.
30
Jarnell Stokes
San Antonio Spurs (62 - 20)
COLLEGE: Tennessee
HT: 6-8
WT: 250
POS: PF
Analyisis: Stokes might be undersized, but he's a great rebounder and has the strength to create space. The Spurs have found places for players such as him in the past. And don't forget, though he might be a junior, he's still just 20 years old.
considering that the three positions of need for the spurs are back up pg, back up sf , and back up big they most likely would go for one of these positions, yet they could go for a sg if its a player they can stash or develop for a year.
for pg napier would be awesome but we do have patty and cory. a lot depends on how patty does in these plawords cause I think cory has 3rd string pg locked up for the foreseeable future. if not napier Burton might work.
as for sg bogdanovic and lavine fit the bill. and since we have ginobili and belinelli for next year maybe a project player would work since these minutes are gobbled up.
immediate sf would be Robinson or antetokounpo. this role would really be 5-10 minutes or more with injuries so I could see this going to a fa . rob more offensive and anteto defensive. I really am high on anteto. could see him being a Bruce bowen if we can get him to focus. with a 2nd though. then there's inglis. a young French prospect how can we resist. if the spurs are high on him then they have to pick him in the first cause there's no way he lasts to the bottom of the second right ?
now with bigs there's mcgary, stokes, and austin. most likely the spurs just resign baynes and bonner but if not baynes than mcgary might work and if not bonner than Austin. now I can tell some aren't as high on Austin as I am but let me tell why. I really think he could be a productive player in the system. although not as tough or strong as we would like he is long and a rim protector. I see him as a pf . he could also play pick and pop much like Duncan does at the top of the key. he's also from Texas.
my rankings would be napier, lavine and austin for domestics in that order and inglis, bogdanovic, and antetokounpo for foreigners.
add Patrick young and jokic to the list. Florida Sr. seem to do well in the nba . could be a late round steal. also like kane .

Interesting...hadn't really considered him. I would hesitate to draft a player with one great skill and so many question marks, but if the Spurs think he can develop into a more well rounded player then it might be a solid choice.
Btw, Chad's logic of "they've done it before" is bogus. Blair was a projected lottery pick with elite production that was a solid value pick at #37. Chances are the Spurs will have better value at a higher need position available when they draft at #30.
Another interesting guy declared today in Spencer Dinwiddie from Colorado. He can do a little bit of everything...score, distribute, rebound, and defend. He tore his ACL earlier this year, so obviously he wouldn't be an immediate contributor. But as we face Manu retiring, the Spurs will need another backcourt player focused on distributing and playmaking. Dinwiddie may be a good value pick at the end of the first.
He's listed as the #25 pick in the 2015 draft on DX right now, so it'll be interesting to see where he debuts when the next listing comes out since he's now officially in this draft.
After watching the first two games of the Mav's all I want is a player that can handle the rock without turning the ball over. Also want a player who hates to loose and takes it as an insult and who doesn't mind mixing it up on the court we need some "Nasty" at ude in who ever we pick.
The nice thing with this draft is that it is deep at the PG position, which is one the Spurs need help with. I personally prefer Payton or Christon due to their athleticism and length even though their shooting is pretty raw.
Forget about it. The Spurs don't get athletic American players. Think foreign stash.
Draft Net has us taking a PG - Semaj Christon....would be happy with that pick.
deandre daniels would be a great pick up. id put him on the top of my list.
I don't know why the Spurs would go with a PG. Even if they lose Mills, they still have CoJo under contract for the next couple years.
I think there are more pressing needs at SF or in the frontcourt.
Probably if they go for the most talented player it will be a PG if the go for need then any other position. Having CoJo as your second string PG is the same as saying "We going to tank for lottery pick" next year.
Don't get me wrong I would still be happy with Glen Robinson, Mc Daniels, or even Mitch Mc Gary if his back checks out. What I really want though is to do a trade with someone --Green/CoJo ..
By the way, McGary declared today after he failed a drug test and likely would have sat out part or all of next season. I'm not sold on him because of the injury concerns, but I'm sure his unceremonious exit from college ball doesn't help his stock.
