Saw 4 different mocks today that have us taking SF Anthony Brown from Stanford. Don't know much about him. This is the first time I've seen him mocked in the 1st round. 5th year Sr who is a 3&D prospect apparently.

No draft and stash please!!! Need to draft players that fill a need not a potential need 4 years down the road. Need a slasher who can creat there own shot and can dribble.
have a source saying spurs make a promise to Jarell Martin...

Didn't see a lot of D in those vids and he has a slow release that nba level defenders will be able to get to but perhaps Chip can work some magic.
Slow release and not committed to defense, sounds like a Spurs draft pick
I hope not
Unless it's TSpence, I wouldn't trust it, tbh.
Chad Ford's Mock Draft 7.0 still has us getting Montrezl Harrell at 26, and Justin Anderson going to Memphis at 25.
In DX's Mock, Anderson goes to the Spurs at 26, and Ford similarly had us getting him at 26 in order mocks. This is strong evidence that he's still on the board by the time we pick, we'll most likely select him.
Yes, sounds like exactly one in the past decade. Definitely a trend worth following.
He's been sitting in the early to mid second round for much of the draft process, and he's recently moved up due to the withdrawal of several international prospects that were fringe first rounders. As I said in the think tank thread, unless the Spurs are positive they're going to lose Danny and are looking to replace him in the draft, I don't see Brown as the pick. They've been working out a smattering of wing players, but it seems like most of their workouts have been targeted at playmaking guards and stretch 4s. Hard to see them going away from either of those, unless real value falls to #26.
No one really knows where the Spurs have him slotted on their draft board, but it's a safe bet to assume he's higher than #26. He has the measurables to be an elite defender, stroked it from 3 last year, and seems to have the right intangibles to continue improving...by all accounts a well-spoken, intelligent kid with good work ethic. I personally think there are too many teams in front of the Spurs looking for defense and shooting from the wing to let him slip, but we'll see in a week.
It's possible that the FO decision about re-sign Green depends on the drafting of JA ? I frankly don't have a clue about what direction we're gonna take...the only thing that's for sure is that everything depends, first of all, on the Tim+Manu decisions about re-signing...
No, I think they can only address either small tactical needs or longer-term needs with the draft. For instance, they're going to let Ayres and/or Bonner roll off, so they need some stretch 4 help. Or, they know Manu will retire soon so they need to get the playmaking guard of the future and hope Manu comes back for one more year. Either way, I don't think any draft pick will be expected to drive FOs decision in any meaningful way on the big questions this summer like Kawhi, Green, Duncan or Ginobili.
It shouldn't. Green is better than Anderson, and he's likely to remain better than him for the next three or four years.
But ~$9M better? Especially if that money can be used better elsewhere?
FWIW I would still rather have Danny at $10M than J. Anderson at $1M. But the question had to be asked.
I think comparing what Green makes to what Anderson makes is a little disingenuous. The difference is really between Green's cap hold and Anderson's rookie hold. That's like $6 Million. Do I think Green is better than Anderson and an MLE player? Probably. Do I think Green, Wright, Joseph, and Aldridge is better than Mills, Anderson, Neal and Aldridge? Almost certainly.
It's all about opportunity cost, and you don't money-ball your starting two-guard if you have easier ways of getting that money.
Especially given that those 2/3 combo guards who can shoot the 3 ball and play excellent defense are hard to come by for cheap.
I was assuming that picking Anderson would mean that the Spurs were looking to let Green walk and use the cap space in another way.
Agreed that letting Green go should be a last resort.
I know. What I was saying is that they don't gain $9 Million in cap space; they gain $6 Million, and that's much less valuable. By itself, it can only buy an MLE player. It can combine to make enough cap space for a max PF, but they can get the requisite space in other ways as well.
What are your thoughts on Andrew Harrison as a PG/SG in the 2nd?
Would be a great pick if he fell that far. He won't, so no.
I`d like Justin Anderson or RJ Hunter.
How about Guillermo Hernangomez. Big, physical, young and can be stashed if necessary. Has good hands, finishes well and battles under the boards.
