jones out of that list hands down
With the 26th pick, what area of need will be addressed? Here is a list of the #20 to #30 ranked players that we may possibly be able to get:http://www.sbnation.com/2015/4/7/835...ustise-winslow
20. Tyus Jones: 6'1, Point Guard, Duke, 18 years old
Jones went off for 23 points on 7-of-13 shooting, leading the Blue Devils to victory in the National Championship with pull up jumpers out of the pick-and-roll. But Jones isn't going to have success in the NBA as a go-to scorer; that success will primarily be due to his playmaking and instincts. He has a stellar first step that he uses to manufacture open looks for his teammates. Jones has his size working against him, but should be able to become a competent game-manager.
21. Jerian Grant: 6'5, Point Guard, Notre Dame, 22 years old
Grant will be a very good floor general at the next level because of his ability to play at different speeds, change directions quickly and make accurate passes off the dribble. Grant's fast first step bodes well for his ability to create in half-court situations, though he'll need to add upper body strength to battle inside, which was a problem in college.
22. Sam Dekker: 6'9, Forward, Wisconsin, 20 years old.
Dekker is versatile and can play both forward positions in the NBA. He's an inconsistent three-point shooter, as proven by his performance in the le game, but when he gets hot, his dribble drive game opens and becomes even more dangerous.
Dekker is a jack of all trades, but a master of none, which could limit him to being just a role player. He possibly has higher upside depending on his usage in a particular system.
23. Jarell Martin: 6'9, Forward, LSU, 20 years old
Martin is built like a freight train with the mobility of a Corvette. Martin can both plow through defenders like a bowling bowl or flash around them with crossovers and spin moves. The big man shot just a hair over 30 percent from three in his two years at LSU, but has sound fundamentals that he should build on.
Despite his skills driving closeouts, Martin can get careless with the ball by putting his head down or by making head-scratching passes. He had an awful assist-turnover ratio and will need to play in control to win the trust of his coaching staff. And though he has versatile defensive potential, his lack of length may hinder his ability to defend most power forwards and rebound well at his position.
24. R.J. Hunter: 6'5, Shooting Guard, Georgia State, 21 years old
College prospects that shoot less than 30 percent from three usually don't get touted as shooting specialists, but Hunter is exactly that because of his ability to hit shots from all over the court off the catch, the dribble or screens. Once he isn't receiving the full attention of college defenses, Hunter could flourish as a shooting specialist.
25. Devin Booker: 6'6, Shooting Guard, Kentucky, 19 years old
Booker has textbook range from the perimeter, which led to a 41 percent three-point mark as a freshman. However, he had major struggles shooting off the dribble, largely due to his slow first step and lack of athleticism. It's possible that Booker will be nothing more than a specialist at the pro level, so his development as a ball handler and defender will be key in determining how much he plays.
26. Kevon Looney: 6'9, Forward, UCLA, 19 years old
With a long wingspan, Looney is a spectacular rebounder for his position and has the potential to be a versatile defender. He complements these skills with floor-spacing and solid court vision. But Looney could be a one-trick pony unless he dramatically improves on his dribble drive game and natural touch. Looney is an intriguing prospect, but his thin frame and lack of athleticism may hold him back from being anything more than a situational backup.
27. Montrezl Harrell: 6'7, Power Forward, Louisville, 21 years old
Few athletes play with as much intensity and passion as Harrell did in his three years at Louisville. The high-motor forward showcased elite explosiveness and is one of the best finishers at the rim in the draft. However, Harrell will be limited as an energy bench player unless he can add a jumper or become an elite rebounder.
28. Caris LeVert: 6'7, Guard, Michigan, 20 years old
LeVert has improved significantly over his three years at Michigan, with his positional versatility being his most appealing trait. The 20-year-old can play both guard positions and small forward, which could be of value for a team looking for an auxiliary talent. LeVert is a knockdown spot up shooter and he has a rapid first step, but he hasn't developed a mid-range jumper or the finishing ability to make scrambling defenders pay.
29. Demetrius Jackson: 6'1, Point Guard, Notre Dame, 20 years old
The ball slows most players down, but Jackson somehow gets faster when he has it. Despite playing at lighting speed, Jackson also remains polished and in control of his dribble His assist totals likely would've been much higher had he not played next to Jerian Grant, but Jackson isn't just a passer, since he's a gifted shooter from three and mid-range. Another year at Notre Dame could boost Jackson's draft position, since he'd be the team's full-time point guard.
30. Christian Wood: 6'11, Power Forward, UNLV, 19 years old
Whichever team drafts Wood will have a project on their hands, but he could be worth it. At 19 years old, Wood is raw, but he has excellent potential as a rebounder and as a shot blocker. He must add strength and become more engaged mentally, but the untapped potential is there. Wood is a streaky shooter, but if he finds consistency he could be a threat to drive closeouts.
jones out of that list hands down
Fridskdj dadssjs - some euro we will never see over here or even consider until he blows his knee or tears an acl
Sam Dekker would be huge for this team tbh...Chip will fix that jumper
Jackson and LeVert are not in this draft...returned to school.

That would be Alpha Kaba, young raw French PF.
Hunter from this list tbqh. He and Booker are the best shooters, but Hunter has more experience as a playmaker.
^
This tbh....and ST will anoint Fridskdj dadssjs as the next savior.
ABSOLUTELY. Cue the Kyle Anderson thread bump.
Yeah, I just read those.
Given the amount of free agents I wouldn't mind a sign and trade to include a pick somewhere between 10-15, maybe get lucky and get Hezonja or Cauley Stein
I hope to God we stop drafting these Euro draft and stash trash that never make it over here. Or, if they make it over here they are soft pussys that are chronically injured. Let's just stick with some American players.
Time to get a PG. I don't think Jones will be there when we pick because of his heroics in NCAA. I'm kinda impressed with Cameron Payne who has good all round game and as a bonus is a lefty. Those guys are just hard for most players to guard since they are so used to righties.
DraftExpress: Cameron Payne NBA Draft Scouting Report and Video Breakdownhttp://www.draftexpress.com/article/Cameron-Payne-NBA-Draft-Scouting-Report-and-Video-Breakdown-4939
Sam Decker is likely a lotto pick. I like him but not sure how he fits going forward. Spurs have a lot of combo forwards (Leonard, Anderson, LJC) on roster or developing oversees.
The only domestic player I really like at our spot is Justin Anderson. Athletic 6'6 wing who is an excellent defender and improved shooter. Adding length and size on the perimeter is kind of where the league is headed. Having Leonard (6'7) Green (6'6) Anderson (6'9) and Anderson (6'6), potentially going forward with ,maybe, Bertans (6'10) coming over after next season
George Lucas-6'6 PG from Brazil. Similar physical tools to KL. Has a 7'0 wingspan for a PG. Good athlete as well could be a very good defender and a mismatch with his size and strength
Timothe Luwawu-"The French Danny Green"-Long, athletic and good lateral quickness. Sounds like he has more of a driving ability than Green has. Can do a little bit of everything. Shoot defend, create off the dribble etc.
Lucas turn 19 this month and Luwawu turns 20 in 5 days. Would be nice if the Spurs could get their hands on both of them, stash them for a couple of seasons and have two very good two way prospects going forward.
Luwawu is a sleeper pick if they're going international. He's labeled as a 3&D guy now, but he might have a higher ceiling. Will be interesting to see the Spurs' draft philosophy...do they maintain max roster flexibility by going international, or bring someone who can contribute sooner rather than later to fill a need?
We need a play making point guard that will play within the system and not freeze his teammates out.
Given the 26th pick, I'd say it's almost certain they would go with an international player. Nobody jumps out at that pick that could be useful in a season or two.
i don't even care if he can't ht the side of a barn, tbh. Just a playmaker that can play some D.
Yea, a player can be taught to shoot anyways
The pick will be either Timothe Luwawu, George Lucas, or Guillermo Hernangomez imo. Only 2 more months til the draft
Trade up for Tyus
Caris Levert and Demtrius Jackson both withdrew their names from the draft and returned to school.
I'm confused. Why are we drafting at 26th? Shouldn't we be at 25th because gs, Houston, clippers, Hawks, & Memphis all had better records than us?
Memphis and SA had the same record so they decided who got the 25th with a coin-toss. Spurs lost
