Pop was worried more about trump then spurs
Everything about him seemed like a typical Spurs choice..IIRC, he was a Spurs fan, too..
He's the 2nd best player on the best team in the East, legit 2-way player, not many flaws in his game..better than Murray will ever be..
Just weird that the Spurs didn't draft him IMO, seemed like the type of man Pop would love to have on his team..

Love his game, and he is a work horse. The front office isn't what it used to be.
Solid player but we already have him in Derrick White.
Def a swing and amiss
Not an indictment on the front office, I'm just surprised they they of all people didn't pick him, he seems like the type of player they would have loved to draft
Spoiled Spur fan didn't get enough of a steal in the draft. As if youngest ever All-Defense selection is a disappointment
Look at the Lakers. They don't have anything to show for having seven straight No. 2 picks. And we're nitpicking which steal was better
Eh, yeah, he would have been great pick to split the difference between Murray and White. But then in 2017, there wouldn't have been a reason to get White, and there wasn't really a good option to pick besides him. Brogdon and White together may have meant PATFO goes for Covington or Harris in a Leonard deal rather than DeRozan. Mavbe Brodgon is enough to get the Spurs over the hump in 2017 or enough to get the the team a top-half seed in 2018. But I'm not sure that Murray/White won't end up being the better duo than Brogdon/Hart (Josh being the only player drafted after White who looks worth a crap).
We drafted Dejounte at 29, not White.
Hindsight is 20/20, it is easy for one to be knowledgeable about the 2016 NBA draft after it has happened.
Brogdon has been immense but you can’t put this on the FO. They did really well drafting Murray.
That said, some of the teams looking for a PG, like the Suns, should definitely throw money on him as Milwaukee won’t be able to keep everyone, instead of going for has beens like Conley, etc.
The Bucks should keep him no matter what. He is more valuable then Middleton because of his defense and he is younger too.
I dont get why they paid Bledsoe that extension other than driving to the basket he doesn't bring anything to the team. He takes I'll advise 3 's and has lot of bone headed plays.
I assume they wanted him but Murray was higher on their draft board
The same will be said about this years draft in the future. There are good players likely there after the Spurs picks at 19 and 29 that they would like to have too but they can only choose the two.
How the did we take Kyle Anderson over Jokic? I thought the Spurs knew a lil' something about the Euro game
the funny thing is with all the Euros that we stashed and never came over, the one year they should've drafted one they take Kyle Anderson instead
Exactly.. It was like they forced the issue on drafting an American that year. But then they take Milutinov the following year and he probably will never even suit up for us
To PATFO's credit, I remember everybody giving them a TON of credit for being able to draft Slow Mo at pick 30. So much for being "Young Boris 2.0"
Fire patfo
Brogdon is great but he's already 26 and Murray is only 22 however, already tore his ACL. Few months ago, Brogdon also got injured (partially torn left quadriceps tendon) though. Time will tell.
Murray has/had a higher ceiling and was once considered a lottery type talent. He fell, Spura grabbed him for his potential alone. Brogdon might have been a more sure thing but Spurs need to aim for the fences sometimes, I believe it was the right choice. Injuries happen but I do believe Dejounte will prove that the front office made the right call in 2 years.
Brogdon is almost four years older than Murray and going to be 27 this upcoming season.
Meanwhile, the same people complaining about not getting Brogdon are complaining about White having been too old when they picked him.
Also, people need to stop acting like this is the 1980s when ACLs were a major injury, or like he blew his Achilles. Murray will almost certainly be fine.
Draft redos are fun, YAY!!!
Everyone in the league missed out on him, bucks just took a second round flyer and got lucky. He was considered a solid 4 year player that was pretty much finished as far as growing his game. Kudos to him for working hard and proving the entire league wrong.
The team wanted to go younger and went for potential over known production.
Murray still has a chance to be a really good player due to his age
Even as a Murray skeptic, I thought it was the right move then and still do. They needed upside. Brogdon (who by virtually every measure is their 5th best player) was always the higher floor player and he's probably more likely than not to end up the better player long term, but their only chance to truly get back into contention at that time was to find another perimeter star and for all Murray's flaws/rawness, you're not getting much higher upside at 29.
Besides, White could easily end up better than Brogdon anyway. Not that 2 of this type would be a bad thing, but they essentially ended up drafting a similar enough version a year later anyway.
Big missed out
Murray sucks, I'm not high on him at all, he reminds me Danny in terms of too liability on offense/overrated on defense and his attention whoring ability outside the court... Brogdon is all-star level, new age Joe Dumars, great defender and leader, and one of only 5 players or so ever to get into the 90/50/40 club!
