Did Batum attend pre-draft events?
Pretty soon the way to increase draft stock will be to have a good showing, leak something about the Spurs, and then drop off the map so everyone thinks you have a promise.
Did Batum attend pre-draft events?
Inglis didn't even have a good showing at the hoop summit unlike Livio.
Could just withdraw from the draft this year, he still has plenty of time :
April 7: NCAA Final Four Championship (Arlington, Texas)
April 9: NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee Application Deadline
April 14: NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee Response Deadline
April 15: NCAA Early Entry “Withdrawal” Deadline
April 27: NBA Draft Early Entry Eligibility Deadline (11:59 pm ET)
May 2: NBA Draft Early Entry Candidates Released – Underclassmen Contact Permitted
May 14-18: NBA Draft Combine (Chicago)
May 20: NBA Draft Lottery
June 16: NBA Draft Early Entry Withdrawal Deadline (5:00 pm ET)
June 26: 2014 NBA Draft
Definitely my favorite player of the confirmed workouts, seems like he has the potential to be a lot better than Early down the line... Still I'm not sure about using the first on a SF...
The Spurs often like to lock international players (especially) into late first round rates, don't they? Reaching there isn't bad in their estimation.
McGary will likely go earlier, as others have said. I like him as a high-energy bench guy. He's mobile with skills, big, and relentlessly energetic. The type of guy who gets under other players' skins. All good things.
This has got to be a can't miss draft for us. There will almost certainly be useful players available at #30, we just need to find them. A good pick here could give us a vital role player for our rebuild
Is that the second confirmed workout for Early? Seems he was worked out with Young just a few days ago right?
If so, that's interesting. Good scorer and athlete, but the rest of his game is lacking. And he's already almost 23 I think.
As for the workout itself, that's a pretty impressive grouping. I wonder if the Spurs are looking to trade up in the second.
Agree...fortunately the Spurs have a pretty good track record.
Would rather the Spurs stay away from him tbqh...injuries and drugs not good things. If you're looking for a high energy and IQ big, I'd go with Patric Young.
Two interesting links for people who wants to looks at some stats analysis :

and his twitter :

While it's obviously only a fraction of what you need to look at it's still interesting.
No, and in fact they leaked fake medical issues. Portland bit anyway.
His team dropped to the French second division for next year. Not a good compe ive level.
I don't think an average or even a bad NH summit would put the Spurs off.
He didn't have a breakout showing like Livio, but he'd already shown enough before the game...namely his 6'8 250lb 19yr old frame with a 7'3 wingspan. As for his scouting report, you can count on the Spurs to have read up.
You're right that he could still withdraw. And if he does then he was just testing the waters. But don't you think he'd be more visible if he was trying to gauge his value? Just seems like a CIA Spurs move tbqh.
If Inglis is available at #30 they would probably have a very difficult time passing him up. The Spurs have had great success with French players, and with Tony and Boris already on the team they most likely have knowledge of Inglis' skills already. It is also hard to pass up a guy that is as big Lebron with a longer wingspan that has great mobility. Kawhi has been a great example at how important it is to have someone that can guard multiple positions. Inglis would even have the potential to guard 1-4, and with the talent of SG's and SF's in the game today his size would be welcome. If the Spurs were able to get Inglis and Bogdanovic in this draft I would be impressed. They may have to trade something like next year's first rounder, but this draft is so deep it would be well worth it.
Porzingis got a promise from Presti according to Chad Ford.
Interesting article on Walter Tavares, seems like he started playing bball extremely late, didn't know that, makes him a lot more intriguing :

Just saw the DX vid on Glenn Robinson III...pretty impressive kid. He sounded very professional and intelligent...said he models his game after Kawhi (and P. George), and mentioned his ability to play in a system like the Spurs run. His shot looked solid, which is his biggest opportunity for improvement. If Inglis withdraws, I could see the Spurs drafting this kid.
How did things end with his dad, out of curiosity?
Liked him until DX said he is the worst rebounder of the top 100 SF
Yeah, the Spurs kind of value that.
Can anyone with ESPN Insider please post whom Chad Ford has the Spurs picking in his Mock Draft 7.0? Thanks.
