After workout with #Pacers ... told Oregon's Joe Young also scheduled to workout with #Blazers and #Spurs .. #GoDucks
Christian Wood or Myles Turner would be my pick in the 1st round.
Cook is solid as a second rounder. Young is an undersized SG, but dude can fill it up. Christmas is old and undersized, but he's had a monster combine between the measurables and 5v5. Not intrigued by the latter two as first rounders tbqh.
If the Spurs trade down in the first (something around 26 for the first two Philly picks), it would be awesome to see them come away with one of the mid-draft PG prospects and one of the bigs slated to go there. Wouldn't mind Christmas being that big, provide Lucas or at least Wright falls to the first pick
Young could be used to replace mills if we use him for a trade.
What if we traded mills and Diaw to philly for 2 of their picks in round 2, #33 and #37.
Then draft.
1- Christian Wood PF 6'11" a very good offensive game and great length. Future PF.
2- Robert Upshaw C 7' a true rim protector to pair with aldridge(hope) in the future
2- Andrew Harrison PG 6'5" future PG. Can learn a year or two under tony
2- Joseph Young PG 6'2" replaces mills. Very good shooter but better scorer than patty.

These games have had quite an impact on draft stock, if the mock draft at DraftExpress is any reflection of the draft boards of NBA teams. http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2015/
Particularly with George Lucas De Paula, Mam Jaiteh, Andrew Harrison, JP Tokoto, and Rakeem Christmas.
Wouldn't do that trade, and neither would Philly. But straight up 26 for 33 and 37, maybe.
A lot of good talent at that range if DX's latest mock draft comes to pass. Should be a very interesting draft.
Agreed, but I don't know that trading Mills makes much sense because he only makes $3M and had a big impact down the stretch once he found his rhythm.
Before that 5v5 cook wouldn't have been drafted. Now he will go in rd 2. I would take him in the second. 4 years in college, career 50% shooter. Quoted as saying I want to learn. System guy
So far I've heard them work out or talk to Connaughton, Sibert, Young, Rozier, George de Paula, Young, Aaron White, and Rakeem Christmas. Looks like they're looking to fill Ayres', Joseph's, or Bonner's spot thru the draft. Bonner has expressed an intent to return though.
interested in Connaughton. Excellent shooter and freak athlete. Good length as well. Oddly enough, was listed 94th in DXs mock draft. Draft Net doesn't have him being drafted either. Heard in another place that he could be an early to mid 2nd round pick. Would be great if he's available at 56 but doubtful.
Minny has two 2nd rounders. 31st and 36th. I'd rather move the 26th pick for those two. Saunders said he's open to moving one or both. It may not be a very big jump up but maybe their interested in consolidating those picks into a second 1st rounder.
Who knows who could fall to those picks. Seems like for picks 20-30 there could be 15 different guys in play. De Paula and Luwawu would be my picks if that were to happen.
With the 56th, hopefully Connaughton is available. Been impressed with what I've seen of him.
Obviously, if both trades are on the table.
I'm trying to figure out why no one is talking about Richaun Holmes. DX pretty much gives him a perfect grade, but he's slated to go in the 40s. I'd be totally fine with talking Lucas with the first second, Holmes with the second second and the best available wing that is willing to go overseas with the final second.
I really like Terry Rozier with our first. Reminds me of Reggie Jackson. He's a system player who has a knack for the ball on defense. The kid has got some moves. He's a little raw right now with his jumper, but I think with a lil work he could have potential to be a starter in this league. Seth Greenberg called him a poor man's Dwayne Wade. What do y'all think?
Chinook - did I read correctly that the Spurs lost the tie breaker with MEM and have the 26th pick in the first round?
That's what happened. For some reason, the NBA doesn't care about playoff seeds when talking about the draft.

At No. 4, expect that the Knicks draft pick will be very available in trade talks.
Random thoughts:
1.) Nothing wrong with shoot-first combo guards out of lesser-known colleges. Lillard, Curry, McCollum have been setting a precedent so teams should be on the lookout for diamonds in the rough (not surprise for the Spurs)
2.) Most of the players they've scouted (Connaughton, Christmas, Young, Aaron White, Sibert) are seniors.
3.) They scouted D'Angelo Russell for only reasons God knows. Parker, Splitter as trade chips, maybe?
4.) Spurs always seem to want players with outlandish physical tools (huge wingspan [Leonard, Harrell], high verts [Connaughton]). The idea is probably that these guys can adapt to the big leagues better with physical tools to help them adjust. I don't think Kaminsky is going to cut it without making tweaks to his game.
5.) I don't see them scouting for bigs aside from Harrell and Christmas, and the only international they have scouted so far is George de Paula.
Just a hodgepodge of thoughts, of course! I expect a lot of kids to go up the board in a few weeks' time, including De Paula. I have a gut feel Harrell somehow falls to the Spurs' laps. Kind of unfair Memphis gets to pick ahead but that's life.
DePaula dropped 10 spots after the Combine.
Come on Parker for Calderon!
word? They're expecting him to be this year's Caboclo. Either him or Danilo Fuzaro(?).
