Dude's younger than Jonathon Simmons (allegedly). Let that sink in for a while.
Ibaka was there for Gm 3-6 & OKC still got blown out at SA then lost Gm 6 on their homecourt w/ the MVP getting outplayed by 38 year old Tim. Oh yeah, Tony was playing w/ a strained hamstring the ENTIRE postseason & had to leave Gm 6 w/ a sprained ankle.
Adams wasn't 2016 Adams thus Brooks played KD/Ibaka neither of who could guard Diaw in the post.
Whats even more crazy is that Durant and Westbrook are the two oldest players of their current rotation ( not counting Foye).
Adams is only 22, Roberson/Waiters 24, Kanter 23, Ibaka 26..... Durant and Westbrook are 27....
They have better nucleus than the Warriors moving forward.
G.Hill is no scrub, but really Spurs haven't done in the draft with late pick since '08..
Hard to do much damage consistently always being the last to pick in the 1st round.
Spurs make it up by always finding undrafted FA talent overseas or overlooked FA journeymen. From Stephen Jackson, Charles Smith (Spider one), Jaren Jackson, Fabricio Oberto, Gary Neal, Danny Green, Jonathon Simmons, Boban. Being able to have that edge with finding role players is what has helped the Spurs remain dominant for so long without relying heavily on the draft.
