Better pick than Jimmer.
Didn't consider him because I didn't see him being available at 29, but he fits what I was saying yesterday (though the international route was mostly out of their hands, with only Zubac, of the projected 1sts, still on the board).
I like the pick. They needed a talented guard, with a relatively high upside and he fits the bill. No more constantly looking for some blah player, who can potentially fill a role as a back end rotation player, if all goes well.
Lebron never hides his respect and admiration for the Spurs, Pop and Tim. Gotta respect that.
Holy, maybe if the cavs win again next year we can get tosb lebron........i would love tosb lebron and kawhi
I do believe Lebron respects the spurs but keep in mind that his sports agency represents Dejounte.
Yessir. I'm interested to see how this plays out.
Says the guy who thinks keeping Diaw, signing Birdman, keeping David West, and other old pieces of is the key to getting le #6.
Then come on over, Kang!
Looks like he finds ways to get to
the line.
Should he start from day one a la tony parker?
He mini Jamal Crawford tbh
people should stop with this crap, if you don't become a rotation player after year 2, you are a bust no matter where you are drafted. you can be a bust even if you do, but that's beside the point. Yes the nba is full of busts, it's just the nature of the draft.
I forgot to add that he made great jump in RPM. He was -3.26 in his rookie year and last year he was 0.61. Spurs got above average NBA player in 2 years for a pack of gum. Hope he can give the Spurs solid 20 MPG next season. Also, I can see Teodosic coming to the Spurs (if he is willing to come of the bench) and replace, to a certain extent, Manu.
what's to give up on, he already is a very good player for us, everybody saying otherwise is just trolling or can't see the context.Geez, am I the only one who hasn't given up on Anderson?I thought he was solid enough for a 22 year-old in his 2nd season. Think he'll be a solid role player for the bench unit, which is all you can really ask for from a 30th pick.
Yeah, I expect good things from Kyle this year. He'll a solid bench player.
The C. Joseph pick was not considered a very good pick for awhile on this forum when he started off slowly in his career. Like Murray, he was a 19 year old "One and Done". He worked himself into being a quality rotation player who will be in the league 8-10 years. That is a good pick when its at 29 or 30. I'm pretty sure the Spurs would welcome him back in a minute if they get ever the chance. Joseph (like Kawhi) is still only 24 or 25 years old.
The kid SAS drafted this week looks to be a much more athletic, explosive player than CoJo. When you pick at 29, you just want to draft someone that can develop into something at least a solid rotation player (one of your top 8-9 guys). At least in college, Murray looks like he can get to the rim at will. He pushed the ball. His shooting is not great, but he will have the best in the business in Chip E. working with him. I like the pick - it looks promising.
Just look at the Mavericks - they throw away draft picks for vets most years and get nothing out of the draft. That's why they are nothing special over the last few years. Dirk is the last all star caliber player they have drafted. That was almost 20 years ago. You can bet the DFW area and Mavie fans are VERY jealous of the Spurs success in the draft and on the court over the last 20 years. They essentially are the little brother who generally can't stack up. The Rockets are even worse and have essentially been in rebuild mode since 1995 for the most part.
With a little luck, the Spurs can be a contender and 50 win team for a few more years with the KL / LMA core. Those guys just need a little more help than they got at the end of last year when some of the bench guys stuggled.

If we don't get a big name free agent, I wouldn't mind seeing him start right away.
The love for Kyle Anderson here is just stupid. He is bad. He has some skills but is slow as and he does not compete. Worst production in the playoffs ever? Just standing there and passing the ball does not make you ok on offense. Just standing there when someone dribbles past you is not ok on d.
Great post, said it like it is
Will this guy be another "steal" ?
Yes and no. Yes in three years he could be good. But most teams don't have the leadership to develop a player like this. So the we'll see
He has a lot of potential just on his size, athleticism, and length alone, and he's crafty with the ball. He has talent, but I will consider him a potential steal if he fixes his shooting. Emphasis on "potential steal" bc if he had just shot the ball more efficiently in college he would not have been available at pick 29 that's for sure. He's a high upside, risky pick, which considering he's 19 is justified. He's so young that he's bound to improve significantly over the next few years if he has a strong work ethic.
So he may look terrible his first or second seasons shooting airballs or whatever but we will not know for sure until his second or even 3rd year. If he doesn't get a shot he could be MCW-like, who is still an NBA rotation player, but not a championship caliber PG.
Yup guys and teams want to draft players that can help right away, but players are getting in the NBA so young that their games are not fully developed. The draft is for the future.
