Please no to Cliff Alexander. I'll be pissed if we take him.
He was arguably the top performer in the 5v5 games at the combine. One of the oldest players in this draft class at 23. He's basically a better version of Ayers, high-energy shot blocker and rebounder. Can also score a little bit. 26 might be too high for him though, but his stock is skyrocketing after his combine performance.

I'm a Syracuse alum so watched a lot of Christmas. He's come a long way in the last two years and developed a nice offensive game. That said, I think his ceiling on a good team is an end of the rotation player.
If the Spurs are all-in for this upcoming season and need an immediate contribution, they could do a lot worse. I'd prefer a player with a little more room to grow.
if the spurs draft christmas it's simply to be a hustle guy off the bench. i doubt they think he's a starter or any of that.
xmas is also from the us virgin islands. not that it matters but kind of cool.
If Danny leaves, another guy I'd look out for is Rashad Vaughn. Been saying for months that he'd be a good candidate to replace Green. Same height/size, better all around offensive game, not as good defensively though, although he's no slouch either, and can improve on that end much like Danny did. He's still only 18 too so his ceiling is much higher than Danny's ever was coming out of UNC.
Hopefully Harrell falls to the Spurs at 26. He has the best motor of all draftees and is a good defender in the pnr. He can't shoot, but would be a great scraps type player as far as scoring is concerned.
Spurs working out Larry Nance Jr tomorrow.

Dude has a nice overall game. Would be elated if he fell to the spurs
Sports Mancave @SportsManCave 23h23 hours ago Syracuse forward Chris McCullough was at the Spurs facility today.
Eric Pincus @EricPincus
Justin Anderson has worked out for the Bulls and Spurs, today Lakers, next Celtics
My money is on whoever is either really slow or awkward or has a really slow shot
A nickname like slomo pretty much cements both.
Justin Anderson probably isn't falling to the Spurs but i'd think the Spurs would take him if he's available. That wing rotation going forward (Green, Kawhi, Anderson and Anderson) would have excellent size and length plus athleticism (save for K. Anderson). Spurs would need more play making from PG or SF though.
McCullough was a guy I liked early in the season before his nasty knee injury. He was playing really well for Syracuse before he went down. I'm surprised he decided to come out tbh. But either way, his personality type doesn't fit what the Spurs would typically go for, and I'd bet against him being the pick, but I certainly wouldn't mind it either. He's only 20 with lots of upside. Still rather have Justin Anderson though.Sports Mancave @SportsManCave 23h23 hours ago Syracuse forward Chris McCullough was at the Spurs facility today.
To give you an idea of his game.
Outside of bigs slated to fall in the Spurs range, I'm intrigued by Rashad. Concerned that he tore his knee up & wasn't a fantastic athlete before that it appears. But he can shoot.
Working out for the Spurs next week.

Kids I like so far:
PG Terry Rozier, Delon Wright
SG Rashad Vaughn, RJ Hunter
SF Aleksander Vezenkov, Justin Anderson
PF Christian Wood
Rozier could fill Joseph's role. I think he has a lot of tools.
Wright is a combo guard and could play Manu's role if he can be taught to shoot.
Vaughn is really young. I see him as a Green replacement in the starting lineup. Would save the team 8+ million.
Vezenkov intrigues me. He's young as well. Still 19 and tearing up the Greek league. From what I seen, he's a shooter. He's got beautiful form. His shot reminds me of Dirk's and he has the opportunity to play with his national team. From what we know, he's a tweener although at 6'8''. I could see him as a Draymond Green or Boris Diaw role at small ball 4, but can he play d? He's also a willing passer.
As for Wood, he reminds me of a poor man's Anthony Davis with two way potential. A Matt Bonner role.
Out of all these, i 'd pick Vaughn, then Vezenkov, and then Wood.
I'd pick Vaughn first cause how much he could save the team, his age, and his ceiling. Vezenkov next cause he's the best player on his team at age 19.
^ some of them could be had in the second round...
Big, unathletic, fundamentally sound, unselfish, PnR specialist, European, etc.. this guy has "Spur" written all over him, tbh. And he's supposedly shooting up draft boards and expected to be drafted right around where we pick. And he's a potential draft-and-stash player, too. You may very well be looking at the next San Antonio Spur, tbh.
Sounds like the guy most of ST wish we throw the max at.
I think there are better prospects available than him at 26. As a 2nd rounder i wouldn't mind. DX still has him at 40 but CBS and Draft net has him being picked by the Spurs. Spurs may keep him overseas for another year or two.
If the Spurs go international, De Paula, Timothe Luwawu, and Aleksandar Vezenkov would be good choices.
Like to see the Spurs trade down and pick up the 31st and 36th or the 35th and 37th picks for Minny or Phily. Vezenkov is projected to go 33rd but the other two are projected in the 40s.
