Spurs reportedly looking to move up in 2016 NBA draft

[raybies]

Rabies give us your run down of preferred picks. I don't know if you updated those in the think tank. I know you have been onto bigs even during the season. I have not been that disciplined. I have looked at more guards and ignored bigs entirely.

Ok, this is where I'm at right now. Considering our biggest needs of playmaking guard and a young preferably athletic center, I think a combo guard is the safest bet as of right now or a guard that can at least guard both guard positions because of the uncertainty of whether we trade green or not, whether mg will stay or retire. I think with Milutinov and Marjanovich we have options at the centre position. The only way we get full value for Danny would be a draft day trade imo. If we trade him, we will obviously need a guard.

If we move up into top 10(highly unlikely):
Murray
Bender
Brown-now this guy has been growing on me. Excellent defender, slasher and is a capable shooter. He would make great addition alongside KL and would diversify the offense while remaining elite defensively.

If we move up to late lottery:
Baldwin

If we move into mid round-early twenties:
Ivica Zubac
Ante Zizic
I think with either of these two, we would have our starting center of the future. Both are mobile and can guard, while Zubac has a solid low post game and has a big body. I prefer Zubac because he's more of a two way player and can score on the low block.

If we stay put:
Cordinier - gives us a two guard that can play both guard positions and can push Simmons. Really young, athletic, has a high motor, and can shoot the three. His stock fell cause of the hoop summit but that was overall a bad team. If surrounded by better players, he excells in imo.
Zimmerman- athletic center, really young, has range can play the pick and roll and a good passer. Health concerns..

Value picks in the second round:
Malcolm Brogdan
Onuaku
Hammons

This is my list that I'll be following.

anybody in that high lottery draft range that could use Baldwin? Could you see him sliding to maybe 17-20 range?

[TheGoldStandard]

I'm leaning towards a Jeff Ayres type player.. We won a le with him off the bench..

[Big Empty]

in three years Thon Maker will be the steal of this draft.
he will be a cross between KD and KG

[keithington1]

Diallo or a trade back for Hammons and a guard

What about Hernangomez? I would also be happy with Zubac or Zizic.

I'd be okay with that but more than likely if those guys are drafted they are in Europe for another year or two.

I understand that and would be fine with it. We can bring in Bertans this year, should be better than Kyle Anderson.

Remember how we were looking to move up? HAHAHA!

This team won't trade its players. Murray will be the 3rd PG and be inactive all season and play in Austin. We will run the same roster out there as last year. But a year older!

A month or so ago, I wondered if we wouldn't do a "mini-tank" and shed all the old guys and bad contracts before the 2017 season when the cap jumps again. Let the eager beavers spend this year and have a better shot next year. Looks like that may be the plan. I can't say I am really opposed to it, providing we part with Parker.
