All it would take is Kawhi Leonard.
Looney seems like a guy that might fall, so it's good that the Spurs brought him in. He's high on potential, but he needs to bulk up and continue refining his skillset.

DX did an extended mock draft today, and they have the Spurs selecting....SG Rashad Vaughn. Here's the write-up...
From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com/#ixzz3dqWO8bZlAt this stage in the draft, many teams simply elect to pick the highest upside player they can find in hopes of uncovering a diamond in the rough. Vaughn is the second-youngest player in this class, and entered the year being considered a top-10 recruit before shot-selection and chemistry issues at UNLV torpedoed his stock. The Spurs could decide to roll the dice and see if they are getting a much better prospect than what you would normally expect at the end of the first round. There's a huge shortage of true wing players in the NBA and this draft class, so Vaughn could have some extra value because of that.

What's interesting about the DX mock is that it has both Vaughn AND Anderson available because Jarrell Martin jumped to #25 with a reported promise. I don't know who the Spurs would actually pick in this scenario, but I think I'd personally go with Anderson.
Both nbadraft and DX have Anderson dropping past the Spurs. Could we luck out really?
I am working with the guy from Wages of Wins to get the WP48 numbers for this draft class. Again, doesn't tell us anything specific, but Spurs seem to pick guys that correlate well with this stat (George Hill, James Anderson, Kawhi...). If there are guys slated to be in the Spurs range, but also correlate well with WP48, might give us some insight.
Sure. There are always one or two reaches that push other prospects down the board. Kyle Anderson ended up at #30 last year because of Caboclo and Huestis. It's not impossible for Anderson to fall if someone like Martin or an international player is picked ahead of #26. Having said that, it could just as easily be another PF that falls, like Harrell or Looney.
If possible I'd trade Mills for an lower 20's pick for Justin Anderson. Mills value for the spurs is decreasing with Ginobilis continued decline. We need a backup that can share some of the ball penetration to generate offense and Mills isn't that guy. Probably have to go after Stuckey. Justin Anderson's strengths would just thrive in the Spurs system and he's physically ready to contribute in his first year.
I love mills but yeah I would do this trade too!
I've been trying to find that stat for this year's draft class with no luck.
He has not published the data. He's working w someone to hopefully get that done.
I've noticed that Aaron Harrison is not projected to go in the draft in any of the mock drafts. Do you think the Spurs make a phone call to him about a camp invite or can they ask him to join their summer league? He's a decent size guard who can shoot. Doesn't have great speed but pretty solid length and he's from San Antonio and played high school ball in Texas.
Tell him he's free to publish it to my Facebook page... he's bound to get dozens of people to see it there.
Patrick Brown @patrickbrownTFP 2h2 hours ago Per his agent, Josh Richardson worked out for 16 NBA teams leading up to tomorrow's draft. He worked out twice for Spurs, Grizzlies and OKC.
Never heard of him till just right now
Been in the mid-late second round mix for most of the draft process.
Latest DX mock has the Spurs nabbing Anderson in Rd1 and Vaulet in Rd2.
I would be perfectly happy with that outcome... not as happy as trading Splitter to draft WCS and picking up LMA... but still happy
Athletic wing out of Tennessee.
Yeah, I took a look at him after AFBlue mentioned he was in the 2nd round.. The one thing that I did like about his workout/interview was that he was hustling, not going half speed.
He has a lot of length and athleticism too. Very intriguing.
All this speculation and of course we choose this guy
I think Minny is going to make the playoffs.
Ease up man..gets old FASTAll this speculation and of course we choose this guy
