Don't need euro scrubs.
Agree with Gudaitis out of those 3, followed by Milutinov. I think Gudaitis has the highest ceiling. I know the Spurs worked him out last Saturday, and the Cavs are working him out today I believe, so he's garnering attention from teams in the mid 20's.
Don't need euro scrubs.
If they don't draft/stash Gudaitis or Hernandogomez or trade their 1st, think SA will just draft the best player available -- no preference in position.
If it happens to be a combo guard then they can renounce and move on from Cojo or use Mills in a trade to get Aldridge.
Do you really believe that? Kyle is smart but not athletic, don't know if he got faster at staying in front of SG/SF. Don't know if his release has been fixed to shoot from around the arc. He can handle the ball we know that. If Anderson or Vaughn are there at 26 that's a better option
It just doesn't make much sense if the plan is to "retool" the roster. Getting low-cost replacements seems like an effective method to preserve cap space while retaining decent value.he essentially said we're definitely going draft-and-stash, but yea, idk much about SheridanHoops, or any of these other sources not named Woj tbh, so everything in thos thread should be taken with a grain of salt.
Yeah. He's the only one of the three that offers some sort of rim protection which is a must if we intend to draft a big. Cause when Duncan retires and if we sign LA, any big we pair him with would have to be able to protect the rim cause we know that's not really a strength of LA. So if this guy can be stashed for one to two years and become more seasoned, he could have a chance to start when he comes over, which would be a selling point.
And I agree with your ranking of the three.
I'm intrigued by this Artie Gudaitis guy. I liked that he can put the ball on the floor. Seems to have the potential to develop legit post-moves. Will he get stronger? Can he quicken the release of his jumper?
Not that it matters. Someone will take him before us.
Not intrigued by any international players tbqh.
Tend to agree. Kyle's D at the moment is not going to help us get over the line as a team. Anderson/Vaughn are ready to contribute minutes from day 1, and we only got a short window with TD.
Same here, the majority of the euros that draft and stash never come over
Don't forget about Mouhammadou Jaiteh (Center) from France.
He was a revelation at the NBA Combine in Chicago.
He could actually be what Mahinmi was supposed to be.
Yah you're right and then there's that French connection. I remember hearing that he was close to joining the French national team last summer or the year before when they were short on big men, so there's the possibility of more growth there. I might be mistaking him for someone else... but yah. I wish there was an up to date scouting report on him. Let me check.
More like Kevin Seraphin than Mahinmi...big bodied, unathletic, good touch inside, no game beyond 12ft, good rebounder, not a defender. Mixed bag, but he's not terrible I suppose.
FWIW, the SA Express-News' mock draft has us selecting Nikola Milutinov at #26. Not that they're known to be a groundbreaking Spurs insider or anything, but they do have regular access to the Spurs' practice facility, so they probably have a better idea of which types of players the Spurs are looking for than anything.
Milutinov looks like a reach in the First Round -- hopefully not correct.
But this guy looks intriguing -- Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Supposedly a Bruce Bowen type.
Jumpshot would need to be reworked completely, but all the other tools are there. He's what everyone thought Kawhi would be coming out. If he falls to the Spurs they have to take him. I don't see it happening though.
Spurs are best in the biz at that.
Per Ken Berger, the Houston Rockets are interested in Memphis' 25th pick or San Antonio's 26th pick...
That's almost bizarre. Unless they have already focused on a sure fire player that will still be around at that late spot in the draft==and who finds sure fire players there--it makes no sense.
"I’ve heard from the Spurs themselves that they love him.” Amico said. “The fact that they love him and the word’s out about that has probably made a lot more teams interested just because everybody wants to be like the Spurs.”
RE: Larry Nance. Hopefully subterfuge.

Sounds like a smoke screen to me...
Spurs doing a solid for Larry Nance and generating some interest for him. That's nice
Forgive me if this is known already, but as suspected this might be one of the players we might draft if he fell or possibly trade up for. Although, I seriously doubt the ladder.
He seems like a mixed bag.. He always seems to be moving at half speed.
