Spurs Draft Discussion: 2019 NBA Draft

[Twisted_Dawg]

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.

Had a similar convo with another long time fan. He proposed trading Dejounte and #29 with hopes of moving into mid teens. I wonder what that trade would bring?

Horrible idea. Murray is equivalent to a high lottery pick already.

Unless there's a sleeper like Kawhi that they just really want, I don't see it either.

Murray only costs $2.3M next season, so he's not offsetting much in the way of salary. If they think he's going to want too much money the next year, they might try to deal him and get some value - like maybe in a deal to dump Patty. (I know, wishful thinking.)

Third tiebreaker: Indiana gets the #18 pick, San Antonio gets the #19 pick, Boston (via the LA Clippers) get the #20 pick,

Cool. So 19, 29 and 49. Considering one more win could have pushed the Spurs down to 22, that's a good outcome

[Mikeanaro]

Not bad.

Now the Spurs should trade DeRozan for #9, #39, and #59 plus filler so they can draft to the nines.

[Degoat]

I’m definitely dreaming here but I wish Cam Reddish would fall to like the 12th pick or so and the spurs move up and grab him, it’s total wishful thinking but I think the spurs development staff could really help him break out

[acoelho1]

They are not trading Murray unless a star is coming back. That’s how valuable they see him and those on the forum wanting him traded or playing behind White will look foolish when he’s back in action.

There's a legit chance that the Pelicans have 9 and 39 and are willing to trade those for DeRozan. Then they could buy 59 from Toronto.

[Mr. Body]

Murray's potential is far higher value than any pick you'd get for him. Stop this nonsense.

[rascal]

Not bad, at least it's not the 20th pick.

Not good if they lose in the first round.

Hey, it's not every day you have a chance to draft for the cycle.

[NASpurs]

No , you're speaking to a person on the tank bandwagon back in December.

[NickiRasgo]

Whatever happened to Bruno Fernando? Went from top 10-20 to 2nd round.

He is more a 20-30 pick in most mocks than a secound. A lot can moove in this draft but imo he Will be a first round pick somewhere between 15-30.

Since the very top picks seem to tend to be Centers and hot shooting guards, I think it is possible that a good pick of a SF might fall to us. But then I haven't been checking the draft list yet for SF players. Typically the picks after 15 have a small chance of having long careers, if any, in the NBA, but our FO and Pop have a damn good record in winkeling out good prospects that other teams overlook.

We are one good SF prospect away from having one of the best young teams in the league.

Offseason thread let’s get some nasty

"What is a SF and why are they needed in today's NBA?"

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs won't trade Dejounte. They will try to work out a contract extension this offseason

[sasaint]

I suspect Spurs might do a 'George Hill' again by trading their beloved 'Dejounte Murray' for a higher pick.

That kind of came out of the blue, friend. What makes you say that? No real indicators are there?

Spurs

Keldon Johnson | Kentucky | Fr | SG | 6-6

Kentucky should have three players selected in the top 20 of this NBA Draft — and they really could go in any order. For what it's worth, I have Johnson the last to come off the board. But if he's actiually the first, it won't be surprising considering the 6-6 wing is a nice athlete who shot 38.1 percent from 3-point range on three attempts per game this season. He was a big reason why Kentucky was just a shot away from making the Final Four for the fifth time in a 10-year span under John Calipari.

Pick acquired via trade with Toronto

Dylan Windler | Belmont | Sr | SG | 6-8

Windler entered Belmont as a mostly unheralded prospect but is leaving as one of the nation's most productive players. The 6-8 senior averaged 21.3 points and 10.8 rebounds in 33.2 minutes per game this season while registering the nation's 10th-best Player Efficiency Rating and leading the Bruins to their first win in NCAA Tournament history. Beyond that, Windler shot above 42 percent from 3-point range in each of the past two seasons, which suggests he'll be a reliable shooter in the NBA and a space-the-floor forward.

2019 NBA Mock Draft 7.0: Odds increase for Wizards at final buzzer

19. San Antonio Spurs: Tyler Herro

College: Kentucky
Position: Shooting Guard
Height/Weight: 6-5/194
Year: Freshman

The 6-foot-5 Herro's ranking improved throughout the season thanks to impressive shooting including better than 90 percent from the free throw line while scoring 14 per game.

29. San Antonio Spurs (via TOR): Eric Paschall

College: Villanova
Position: Power Forward
Height/Weight: 6-9/255
Year: Senior

The 6-foot-9 forward stepped after the Wildcats sent four players to the NBA by averaging 16.5 points. The Spurs took a forward with their previous first-round pick, but taking another works in terms of best available and noting Rudy Gay and Dante Cunningham are free agents.

NBA mock draft 2019: Projected first-round picks from Nos. 1 to 30
By James Ham 12 hours ago [AKA 14-15 April 2019]

19. Spurs: Bruno Fernando, C, Maryland

San Antonio continues to fend off Father Time. The Spurs have rebuilt their starting backcourt on the fly, and could use some depth up front. Fernando has all the physical tools, but patience is needed.

He could learn a lot from Popovich and his staff, and might be able to pay dividends down the road.

29. Spurs (from Raptors): Matisse Thybulle, SF, Washington

Known for their ability to mine talent deep into the draft, the Spurs look for intangibles and then develop players. Thybulle is a seasoned 6-foot-6 brawler who has a 7-foot wingspan and an NBA body, but he’ll need to improve as a shooter if he wants to become a 3-and-D wing at the next level.
