Kerry Blackshear Jr. has been making his rounds as he prepares for this years NBA Draft. After working out with the San Antonio Spurs, he made his way to Los Angeles for a workout with the Lakers
I don't now about "reliable sources". I've got a few, and they're wrong just about as often as the rest of us. But Zoosman did an interview where he said that he is open to getting drafted and then spending a couple more years with Maccabi. And Maccabi wants him back. But then again, he said that he plans to keep the number 50 for the rest of his career, so that would rule the Spurs out.
Zoosman would be a good choice at 49, but he still needs a year in the G-League or Maccabi to prepare. Mostly he needs to learn to be more aggressive. He's been a boy among men at Maccabi. And while he held his own, he deferred on offense way too much.
Zoosman and Max Strus are still the two that I think might be worthwhile with that 49 pick. They both have a chance to flourish in the Spurs system (Austin).

Damn. I didn't think he's an NBA player but those measurements are ridiculous. He's gotta get drafted, right? Has some value in a third center, Boban-esque role, I'd image.
At least Houston doesn’t get a pick at all and Dallas has to wait til 37th.With the top 2 picks going to our division..not to mention already having luca in it too
2nd round fodder yeah but be in the g league though

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes back to school since the Pelicans got the No. 1 pick.
No way Zion goes back to school, if he does he’s insane! Guaranteed money, being #1 pick guaranteed (could get hurt in college) shoe deal will also probably be the biggest shoe deal of any rookie coming into the league
Supposedly Kerry Blackshear Jr worked out for the Spurs. I like his game.
Luka Semanic destroyed the combine. Maybe there really is something there.
New big board (for players likey there at Spurs picks)
1. Bol Bol
2. Grant Williams
3. KZ Okpala
4. Tie between Luka Samanic / Jontay Porter (unique skill for their height)
5. Tie between Rui Hachimura / Eric Paschall (basically the same type of player, with an edge to Eric for his defense)
6. Brandon Clarke (measurables killed him. Odds are against him to reach success)
7. Tie between Louis King / Isaiah Roby (both gleague level players at this point)
According to Clan the Spurs fan ... Spurs looking to trade 19th and 29th picks for a top 12 pick .. possibly Atlanta or Charlotte pick
Who the is Clan? Why would he be reliable?
TSpence's alt tbh...
Tankathon's Big Board and Mock updated, post day 1 combine.

Wonder who they would be targeting? Cam Reddish if he drops? To secure Doumbouya?
It's a ridiculous concept, unless there are more pieces involved. You're essentially trying to use #29 to move up at least 7 spots from #19 into the top 12.
i'm not that high on the idea of moving up 7 spots by using 19 and 29. maybe i'm wrong but there are a lot of prospects who could be good at 19 and 29. All depends of the target.
I am kind of hoping SA can work with ATL on their 10th pick and move up for someone in that range. Brandon Clarke or Reddish or if things really go great Hunter.
Not sure if 19 & 29 would do it, but one would think ATL would be open to moving 10 for two other firsts.
I will bet you $10,000 that doesn’t happen.
I doubt it. They already have 8. Adding 19 and 29 would be 3 rookies next season; probably a few too many for a team looking to start moving into contention with Trae Young and John Collins...
They could use all the assets and in pretty much any sport, trading back usually ends up being the most valuable thing you can do.
Especially if you don’t have anyone you love more than others in that range. Future picks work to; it’s about asset ac ulation. Look at what BOS was able to do with that strategy. Trading for stars is always easier when you have a trove of first rounders.
Have any of you seen the combine agility numbers for Jordan Bone? Holy ! First in all the runs, first in standing vert, and second in max vert. I didn't pay any attention to him at Tennessee, but damn he's fast. He shot .525 on 2P attempts, and .355 on 3P attempts, and dished 5.8 AST per game. But he's a 6'1.5" shooting guard.
I wonder if he can learn culture?
They're 3-4 years away from actual contention. They haven't even made the playoffs yet. They supposedly want to move back to select Thybulle and Garland. 19 and 29 ain't gonna pull that.
I'd rather pick 2 players. The talent level is pretty even and Spurs need to stack the team with players 24 and under so they are all on the same timeline and can be a contender in a few years. If they can ship out some salary to open cap space I'm all for it though
The more I think about it, the more I don't believe it will happen.
