Why not just draft an 8th grader? Essentially the spurs drafted someone who doesnt understand how to get better. See the insta about all the work that paid zero dividends for spurs. Trade for a meatball sub
Should've taken Brogdon. And the guy WANTED to be here.
Smh But, yeah, let's draft a guy who might be good when Kawhi is 31 while guys like Parker, Manu, Mills, Gasol, and Green continue their steady decline with no other adequate replacements in sight.

Murray always made more sense than Brogdon because the Spurs were and remain in a situation where they need to swing for the fence. Besides, White looks like a Brogdon type anyway, which is why I don't understand why Murray has been gifted a role while he remains buried.
Sure, Murray times poorly with the majority of the core, but it's not like Brogdon was the missing piece to a championship anyway.
That's besides the point. Brogdon was a perfect fit. You don't need to swing for the fence if you simply fill in the right pieces.
As for White, he's grown on me, but now doesn't make much sense after the commitment to Mills, Murray, and the inevitable TP contract coming up.
The Spurs draft picks have been awful for years now.
Honestly, I don't know how you can argue that a guy who really does nothing well makes more sense than someone who is solid on both ends, has a relatively high BBall IQ, and is clutch to boot.
In the NBA, if the "right pieces" don't start with a certain level of star power in certain areas, the likes of which this team clearly doesn't possess, you have no chance at winning a championship.
White can play shooting guard on both sides of the ball. If Ginobili retires and these idiots lose Green and don't replace him, he'll be competing with Forbes for a rotation spot next season.
Murray looked the part and was hyped as the type of prospect who, if it all came together, could become a dynamic guard (Chad Ford and Ginobili have went so far as to claim All-Star potential).
I think they were there last year. Now, after losing depth without adequately replacing it, and the continuing decline of so many pieces, Murray's poor fit has been even more noticable.
Despite my feelings on this, it doesn't matter all too much with all the other problems the Spurs have right now, one of them being what you just touched on with Green...God please don't talk about competing with Forbes for any rotation spot. That MF'er doesn't belong in the NBA period. Just the thought of White having to compete with him for anything makes my blood boil.
I hear ya, but still think they were right to prioritize what was widely regarded as the higher upside player (whether that's actually true or not is a different argument). It'll always be easier to replace role players than superstars and stars, especially when you regularly pick in the late 20s and are in San Antonio.
Not Murray.
Still true
Murray is still a bad point guard, but kudos to him for doing good basketball stuff. Honestly, I think half our players don’t really have a position and just play basketball. Spurs continuing transition to position less basketball.
OP
Yet manu won the game... sad
My dude Harlem with the bads sometimes.Having a 21% usage rate with a 46% TS is unacceptable in today's league, tbh..I'd like to see Parker benched as much as anybody, but it isn't going to happen, barring injury..especially not in favor of Dejounte Murray
I understand homerism among sports fans, but his potential is so overrated here..there were posters calling him untouchable, last year
Malcolm Brogdon has regressed following a great rookie season, but it would have been interesting to see him playing for Pop and this system, rather than the worst coach in the NBA..
I see this kids potential. Good just as planned.
Watchin box scoresMy dude Harlem with the bads sometimes.

I'm still not a Murray fan(he has severe flaws and his ceiling is limited without a jump shot), but good to see Pop finally benched Parker, obviously..I had no reason to believe he would ever bench himMy dude Harlem with the bads sometimes.

Murray is still a very poor offensive player, as I said in that post..I like how he's being developed, though, can't ask for more..

This got better be included in any package that includes Gasol & Mills. He's such a Drunkford draft pick, man. That slug looking weirdo still thinks it's the 90's....
Youre so dumbMy dude Harlem with the bads sometimes.

Its quite sad actually. The Spurs had an alpha for a back up PG in CoJo and they turned him loose. He’d be starting if he was still on the team.
White should be playing..........Tony is done and Forbes is a head case!
Again, not a Murray fan, but the way Pop treats him is stupid..he benches him for any mistake, yet allows Forbes to stay on the floor after he gets torched every time his opponent touches the ball..
Unfortunately moonface has to fall on his sword until the end. Had to open his donkey ass mouth about starting this bum the rest of the way "to see what we have"
Wetting the bed in the playoffs so far.
Unfortunately it is hard to see him amounting to something in this league with this putrid offensive game of his.
