19. San Antonio: F Grant Williams, Tennessee
Williams’ style and IQ match up with the Spurs perfectly. He plays both ends of the court, can pass, shows touch in the paint and shooting potential. But most important, he is a hard worker, a team-first guy, and has a very high basketball IQ. Although he might be a bit undersized, his strength (especially in the lower body) and high release point help alleviate those concerns.2nd Round29. San Antonio (via Toronto): F Dylan Windler, Belmont
Windler is a knockdown shooter, great rebounder (and plays a bit stronger than his size at 6-8, 200), good passer, and has a nice IQ. He’s not a great isolation defender, but is solid positionally and schematically, which is just as, if not more, important. The Spurs are last in 3-point attempts per game and sixth to last in makes, and adding Windler could bump those numbers up a bit.18. San Antonio: F/G Charles Matthews, Michigan

Blurb doesn't match pick.20. San Antonio Spurs: Brandon Clarke
College: Gonzaga
Position: Forward
Height/Weight: 6-8/215
Year: Junior
The hard-nosed Clarke, who turns 23 in September, is one of the prospects in this class likely capable of offering immediate help to a contender. Though not a threat currently from distance, the 6-foot-8 forward is shooting 70 percent from the field while averaging 17 and 8.
29. San Antonio Spurs (via TOR): Ty Jerome
College: Virginia
Position: Shooting Guard
Height/Weight: 6-5/194
Year: Junior
If there's an international project to be taken in the first round, it's the Spurs that will be doing the picking. Bitadze isn't a great athlete and is more mid-range on offense than a stretch-5 or a true low-post threat. But he has good touch, a geat I.Q. and has size you can't teach.
They could renounce him and lose his rights at that point.
Someone hasn't been paying attention.

Ty Jerome
G, Virginia
Virginia
This pick comes via the Raptors and gives the Spurs an eventual Patty Mills replacement as well as some balance alongside their more athletic backcourt starters.19
Grant Williams
F, Tennessee
Tennessee
Searching for a long-term answer at forward alongside Derrick White and Dejounte Murray, the Spurs find Williams here. The post playmaker would be a hand-in-glove fit.

Jalen McDaniels
Power Forward San Diego State
San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs will receive this pick from the Toronto Raptors as part of the Kawhi Leonard deal.
Jalen McDaniels has tantalizing two-way potential. At 6′ 10″ with a 7′ wingspan, McDaniels can play any frontcourt position. He has displayed promising defensive instincts and could develop into a very valuable defender.
Offensively, McDaniels is more of a question mark. Last season, he had remarkable efficiency inside the arc connecting on 62.2% of his two-point attempts. That number has dwindled to 49.5% this season, but his attempts have more than doubled. This shouldn’t be too much a concern; McDaniels was only 0.1 points per game away from leading the Aztecs in scoring after coming off the bench in 12 games during the 2017-18 season.
Three-point shooting will be the main concern with McDaniels, but he has raised his percentage to 32% this season which is up from 21.1% in his previous season despite more than tripling his attempts. So, there is a reason to be optimistic.
In fact, the Blazers should definitely consider him with their first-round selection.
The Spurs could use some youth on the wing. Rudy Gay and Dante Cunningham are both veterans that are being counted on to be part of the rotation. McDaniels could be added to an underrated young core in San Antonio that includes Dejounte Murray and Jakob Poeltl.
Last time the Spurs selected a forward from San Diego State, it worked out very well.18. San Antonio Spurs- PJ Washington (Power Forward, Kentucky)

He's not a good defender, he's a lot like RJ as a player... Best wing defender in our range is Okeke...

18. San Antonio Spurs: Rui Hachimura, Gonzaga
Rui Hachimura is almost the perfect pick for the San Antonio Spurs. He’s the type of player that maybe will never become a superstar in the NBA, but will be ready to contribute – and at a high level – from almost the opening tip.
Hachimura is mature, and has a little of it all in his game. During junior season with the Bulldogs, he’s averaging 20 points, seven rebounds and two assists on 60 percent shooting from the field. He’s also showed a bit of a 3-point shot this season.
Hachimura is a do-it-all big that would make Gregg Popovich a very happy man, should he have the opportunity to select him in the middle of the first round.29. San Antonio Spurs (via Toronto): Daniel Gafford, Arkansas
Over the last few decades, the San Antonio Spurs have made their bank around the success of their big men, from David Robinson to Tim Duncan. Perhaps they can try to relive some of that magic by taking Daniel Gafford at 29.
It’s not fair to make the comparison, but Gafford has the talent to possibly one of the biggest steals taken late in the first round of the draft. During his second season at Arkansas, Gafford averaged 17 points, nine rebounds and two blocks per game on 66 percent shooting from the field.
If there’s still room for bigs in the NBA, there’s stick room for Daniel Gafford.
Hachimura at 18 doesn’t jibe with the eye test or projections I have seen until this one. Can’t believe we could get him there.
Somebody always falls. It may be him, or someone else.
You don’t usually see mocks projecting a player’s falling, though.
There is a lof of incertainty in this draft. From 10 To 20 range, a lot can happen.
I would package both picks to get up to Hachimure, all their picks this yeah. Kid will be a stud.
Caught me lol
Thanks/
Not worried about the draft since it's probably the area the old man knows least about and is hands off tbh...
Why not? I can understand not wanting to draft Michael Porter or something. But if an injury drops a solid lotto-class player down into the 20s, it makes sense to make the move. If Walker remains healthy, then you got a top-10 talent without missing the playoffs. If he doesn't, what did you miss out on? Dude was easily the BPA by that point in the draft. Looking at the selections again, there's no one drafted later that I regret the team not having so far.
