undersized?............. zion looks like a monstar from space jam & hes already dominated against pro teams

Sounds undersized for me. You're talking about a guy listed at the same height as DeRozan.

I think Randle has shown that undersized, burly athletes with skills have a place in the new NBA

Zion shouldn't be any worse than Randle and Randle is a part of the fastest paced big man rotation maybe ever.

familly have all basically had to retire because of injuries very sad feel for the kids

Wonder if he'll stay in the draft this time. He lost money by staying, but he might struggle to be a first-rounder if the comes out this time. I'd still draft him with the Toronto pick. They need to attack the front court in a similar way to how they attacked the back court. Just keep drafting guys until someone sticks. They should use their natural pick on a wing, though.

We're talking about a high lottery pick though, not signing Zion in free agency. He needs to have star upside, not just "a place in the new NBA". I actually liked Randle quite a bit, so the comparison itself doesn't bother me. But if the team is up there in the range to pick Zion, they need to come away with a franchise player.

It was his MCL and ACL as far as I saw.
The only thing with keeping on drafting injury prone guys is they may not end up with anyone they will give them minutes. What point is talent if it can't stay on the court?

I actually think they should trade both picks for a higher pick wich would probably be in the 12-16 range. Better chance of getting a player with a higher ceiling. And it should be a SF that can defend.

SA Girl you are correct it was his ACL and MCL that we’re torn. Man his family has terrible injuries definitely has to be something genetic:

Bri Porter - 5 Torn ACL
Cierra Porter - Mutiple Knee Sugeries - Medically retired
Michael Porter - Two back surgeries
Jontay Porter - Torn MCL and ACL

To me it depends on what draft picks we have if can can get
8 to 13 and Toronto stumbles and gives us a 20 to 22
pick then I think we stay pat. That should get us a stud at Center Or SF and second pick should get a very good player be it PF, SF, Center

This draft seems very shallow in talent from everything I've read about it, as early as it is. Luckily there are a lot of quality SFs , which is the biggest Spurs need so they may look at someone dropping to their spot, but if the picks are in the 20s they may not keep both. I expect them to shop the Toronto pick around the deadline for an upgrade at PG anyway.

[BackHome]

A lot depends who comes out early but you are right a lot of SF will be available in the draft my bet is;


1st Pick:
Daniel Gafford Center Ht: 6’11 Wing: 7’0
Kris Wilks SF HT: 6’8 Wing 6’10
O’Shae Brisset SF HT: 6’8 Wing 6’11
D’Andre Hunter SF HT: 6’7 Wing 7’0

2nd Pick:
Rui Hachimura SF HT; 6’8 Wing 7’2
Sagabe Konate PF HT 6’8 Weight 250
Luka Samanic PF HT: 6’10 Wing 7’0

I would use a trade to bring in a decent seasoned Vet PG anyone better then Mills and Forbes.

Not every draft has a franchise player.

In that case, getting a rich man's Randle might be the best plausible outcome.

To compare, what little I've seen of RJ Barrett hasn't impressed me at all. Maybe another Harrison Barnes?

Decent chance this guy falls to a range where the Spurs could pick him now.

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2...-broken-system

NBA agent and Klutch Sports co-founder Rich Paul called the choice of top prospect Darius Bazley to forgo college and opt for a $1 million shoe-company internship the product of a broken system, saying Wednesday the on-court component of the next seven months was "the one thing that we were missing."

Bazley, ranked the No. 13 prospect in the 2018 by ESPN, decommitted from Syracuse in March and said he planned to play in the NBA's G League. This week, he again changed course, landing a first-of-its-kind, three-month job with New Balance, a deal Paul brokered.

It might seem silly to think PATFO would want someone who forewent a year of basketball, but they supposedly cared about Murray's high-school tape a lot more than his college tape. So they could make a decision on a guy like Bazley even without him playing, provided they get to see him work out. If he was ranked 13 before the season, I think he could drop into the high-20s easily. Seems like a worthwhile gamble. Dude has a lot of skills, but his tape is of the Thon Maker/Ryan Richards variety.

Hopefully something in the top five will redeem this season.

they will waste the draft pick
waste 2yrs develop the rookie, then kick him to the curb to rot on the bench or another team
as long the culture is still here, pop/patfo will stick with vets and favorite sons of es...
