Latesy Givony mock has the Spurs getting Rui and Okpala - this would be insane. Package Bryn and the 2nd round pick for an early 2nd to grab Okeke would be a dream scenario.
I don't think he believes he's going that high, which is why he left the door open to go back for another year of college. I wouldn't even think about him at 18-20, but maybe someone else will.
My main point was to let people read that article. It shows how there could be some late declares that push other players down the board, and there will be at least a few who withdraw and go back for another year of college.
why you don't like him with our first pick ? you think he is undersized or too small ? i think he is a good prospect but more of a sg/sf than a pure SF.
Fansided: Pippen Ain't Easy: 2019 NBA Mock Draft: End of Regular Season
by Aaron Peterson 4 hours ago [AKA 12 April 2019]
19. Spurs- Grant Williams, F, Tennessee
Stock Trend from Pre-Tournament Mock: +8
The middle of the first round is dominated by power forwards, and the third one off the board is Williams to San Antonio. Despite a playoff berth, San Antonio has to be looking ahead. LaMarcus Aldridge is certainly not getting younger, and this seems as good a time as any to search for his eventual replacement.
In addition, Williams should be ready to make an impact off the bench immediately. He likely won’t become a star, but you know what you’re getting out of him on a nightly basis.29. Spurs (via TOR.)- Naz Reid, C, Louisiana State
Stock Trend from Pre-Tournament Mock: +7
San Antonio has no center who they feel comfortable with taking over a long-term role on the team. With Reid, Gregg Popovich may just be able to find his long-term solution. A gritty rebounder and defender, Reid is the spitting image of a Popovich big- not too exciting to watch, but gets the job done.

20. San Antonio Spurs: Brandon Clarke, F, Gonzaga

Clarke would have won Most Improved Player of college basketball if such an award were given out each year. The Canadian import was a revelation for one of the best teams in the country in Gonzaga. A bit undersized for the center spot, Clarke makes up for it with excellent instincts, leaping ability, and leadership. His shot blocking and finishing around the rim will keep him on the floor for years to come.29. San Antonio Spurs (from TOR): Grant Williams, F, Tennesee

Traditionally, the Spurs prefer to select the more polished players in the pool. Williams is a back-to-back SEC Player of the Year, and boasts an advanced inside game with the ability to stretch his game beyond the three-point line. He’s tough, doesn’t make a whole lot of mistakes, and is highly-efficient on the offensive end.
I like Grant Williams. A lot. Dammit, he's yet ANOTHER 6'5" player - but he's got a huge wingspan. Somewhere close to 7'. But he's not a prolific 3P shooter, and his percentage would have to improve. When you're 6'5" and you aren't a prolific 3P shooter, you've really got to be able to create off the dribble. He's an adequate athlete, from what I saw, but not exceptional.
If the Spurs get a 6'8" or so player with the first pick, and he's still there at 29? Maybe. But once again, if they take a 6'5" guy in the first round, it means a guaranteed contract and more of a logjam at that size.If he could get to the FT line anything like as often as he has in college, I'd take him and put one of the other young guns on the trade block. But he won't be able to do that.
Get someone with height who is polished!
ok i understand. I don't know what player Grant Williams could be. He's an undersized PF, not a big athlet but he looks interesting, he is strong, tough guy and can score.
I like Williams at 29, if he's available. He has very similar measurements to Draymond Green, with a better offensive game than Green had in college. I don't think he is a really high ceiling guy, but I think he is at least a solid bench contributor.
Dream scenario, but not very realistic.
Luis King could be a nice option for first round pick, ultimate 3 and D prospect, Trevor Ariza type player...
Yep I like Louis King a true SF who can shoot the 3 ball and play decent defense has some upside to him.
that's exactly the type of player we need
I suspect Spurs might do a 'George Hill' again by trading their beloved 'Dejounte Murray' for a higher pick.
Third tiebreaker: Indiana gets the #18 pick, San Antonio gets the #19 pick, Boston (via the LA Clippers) get the #20 pick,
Not bad, at least it's not the 20th pick.
Yeah I’ll take the 19th pick
19 in '19. It's charmed, I'll take it.
Looks like SA would have gotten 19 even if OKC had lost. Not quite perfect.
I think that it's possible that they flip Dejounte, but probably not for a pick in a ty draft like this. Maybe Boston or Toronto may come calling when they lose their PGs this summer.
Yea 19/29 is kool af
F Danny Ainge. Boston got the worst pick all three times in the tiebreakers. They could have had 12,18,21 and instead got 14,20,22.
1 doumbouya
1 Thybulle
2 Roby
How would y'all feel about this draft?
