hope so... at 18-19 in a supposedly deep draft it's important to hit on this selection.
The only Nova player that has any future in the NBA is Mikal Bridges. Let's be serious
He'll be the steal of the draft. Would be willing to trade anyone besides Kawhi to go up and get him. Jazz traded their 24th pick and Trey Lyles last year to move up to #13 and draft Donovan Mitc . Would package the 19th and GLeague Danny in a second.
go on the best wing available with real size and athleticism for a basketball player
Racist.
Let’s draft Doncic tbh.
what is exactly our draft position? if i've understood correctly it will be 18 or 19 depending a coin flip in the lottery day...
yup that is correct. we are 18/19 depending on coin flip with minny
We just have to hope a few teams outsmart themselves, and a lottery pick falls to 18/19 similar to how Dejounte fell.
It's still a heck of a lot better than choosing 29th tbh,
Playoffs + worst case 19th pick >>>>>>>>>14th pick.
Knew someone would want to pick DiVincenzo now. The tournament always produces one of these all hype Christian Laettner/Tyler Hansbrough-type kids.
Can Spurs get 14th pick?
*IF Kawhi doesn't sign an extension this offseason and the Spurs decide to start taking offers, then I think this would be the best case scenario for Spurs fans...
Sixers get: Kawhi Leonard
Spurs get: Lakers pick (Mikal Bridges), Markelle Fultz, and Dario Saric
Then with the 18/19th pick they can draft Mitc Robinson who is the perfect modern day Center and exactly what the Spurs need. In this scenario Murray would have to be human sacrifice in any deal to salary dump Gasol or Mills.
Next year's roster would look like this, hopefully.
Aldridge/Robinson
Saric/Gay
Bridges/Ginobili
Green/White
Fultz/Parker
Ummmmmmm.......WRONG!!! Manu pick #57, Parker pick #28, Dejounte Murray pick #29, Derrick White pick #29
Why are you so against doing things right son?
Not a bad scenario, but doubt Spurs part with Murray. He's become Pops new pet project.
Also, taking on Fultz would just be trading one injury case for another.
Not at this point, no. I was saying for people rooting for SA to miss the playoffs at the end. The difference in where the Spurs are vs what they wanted is Spurs in the playoffs + the 19th pick (or 18th) vs having the 14th pick.Can Spurs get 14th pick?
At least we are dealing with a real injury.
we need a modern center tbh... right now we're looking at Pau and Joff. just no
Mitc Robinson has to be the guy. 7'1 with shoes. 5-star recruit who didn't go to college, therefore will most likely be there at 18/19. Experts rate him as the best rim protector in his class and he's great at running the floor. The foundation for having a jumpshot is there too.
Just hope it's not Grayson Allen, DiVincenzo, or Dzanan Musa. Gross....
agreed... maybe make a deal and try to trade up if they can.
Getting trounced in 4 or 5 games is not worth losing 5 draft slots. Pining for a participation trophy is beyond pathetic.

They'll pick whoever has the biggest forehead.
Hiroshima size truth nuke
The team remaining "compe ive" is huge from a fan support standpoint, not to mention free agents.
Selling tickets for even a couple playoff games helps keep the team financially viable.
Then there is the compe ive drive of the players. Do you think LMA and Gay signed contracts expecting to miss the playoffs? Do you think Manu wants to potentially spend his last season in the lottery after never missing a postseason?
Spurs fans need to get out of this championship or bust mentality, especially during a year like this when it simply isn't in the cards. Making the playoffs is still an accomplishment that half the league would love to have, and the difference between #15 and #20 isn't that drastic considering the draft is a crapshoot anyways.
Don't know why some people want to just keep shoving their foot to keep the basement door open, without acknowledging that it could be years before the Spurs come out of it.
