if you can draft a 19 year old PG with a 7 foot wingspan you do it tbh
Brogdon is clearly a very Spurs like player. High IQ, character, efficient, sticking to the script, working hard on defense kinda guy. But he is also four years older than Dejounte Murray, who I think would have been a better player than Brogdon this year if not for his ACL tear. At worst, he should have been as good as him despite being four years younger. Good pick by the Bucks, but it was no miss by the Spurs.

That's the question that's should be asked.
Never understood where the Boris comparisons came from.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"
PF sized guys who can pass from a live dribble.
Point forward friendly skillset
Part of the Milutinov pick was getting a guy who wouldn’t be coming over that season as they were trying to maximize cap space for Aldridge. If drafting him allowed the Spurs to go after Aldridge, you make that pick 100% of the time.Exactly.. It was like they forced the issue on drafting an American that year.

Would have been better to trade the pick, but whatever.
But their game is not the same.
It was a role comparison
Separated at birth
Do you even watch basketball? "Brogdon is all-star level" "white sucks....he reminds me Danny in terms of too liability on offense/overrated defense" go ahead and check all the basic and advanced stats with us having white on the court vs him not. be my guest. Jesus Christ
"Better than murray will ever be" Brogdon is in his ing prime right now. You all just swear dejounte is some scrub and seem to forget the impact he had on the team last year while being 21 years old. Stop living in the present. In 4 years when dejounte 26 and Brogdon is 30 you wont be saying the same thing at all.
Stop living in the present? So I should hope in 4 years Murray becomes a good to great basketball player? I should be living for the future at least 3-4 years away
we talking about patfo here, overrated and still living on some reputation they are the best in t he business drafting and developing players...
Yeah its almost like young basketball players do this magical thing called.....develop. Just like how 22y/o brogdon developed into the player he is now, what a shocker. I'm not telling you "wAiT UnTiLl He BecOmEs A GooD pLaYer" (which he is already) I'm telling you you're comparing a player IN HIS PRIME to a 22 year old in terms of production in 3 years one of which that is basically nullified. Also, what gives you the indication that murray at this point right now isn't a good basketball player?Stop living in the present? So I should hope in 4 years Murray becomes a good to great basketball player? I should be living for the future at least 3-4 years away
^Brogdon was already a contributor his first year. Didn't need much development. Just saying...
Too much hyperbole in this post to justify a response, but I'll bite. He isn't the second (Middleton), third (Bledsoe) or 4th (Lopez) best player on the team.
Murray has a higher ceiling and is just as capable a defender/rebounder. If his shooting and offense can catch up to those aspects then he'll be better than Malcolm.
Also, Derrick White has the potential to replicate Brogdon's statistical output and impact.
He was also a 4 year college player and 21/22 years old. Had Derrick played division I his entire collegiate career, he too would have been "NBA ready" from day 1.
Dejounte has a lot more flaws to his offensive game, but he's already Brogdon's equal on defense and the boards.
Excuse me, I meant Murray, not white...
kobyz is a moron. White shouldn't even be in this discussion, BECAUSE IT WAS DEJOUNTE THAT WAS DRAFTED THAT YEAR AHEAD OF BROGDON.
I confused them, Murray is the one I intended to, not white...
Easy to say this now, but did you know he would be this good in 2016? These things are incredibly difficult to predict.
Slowpoke over Jokic is the one that really hurt. Think where we'd be if we had done that. Wouldn't have had to go after Aldridge. Kawhi would have had an alpha next to him in the front court. Whole future of this team would be different.
It's almost as if the Spurs FO isn't psychic and drafting is always somewhat of a crapshoot. You could probably point to 95% of draftees and find someone who would've been a better pick at their spots.
Most mock drafts also had Murray going well before Brogdon, and time will still tell who will end up being the better player.
That kinda hurts to think about tbh.
I was also high on Brogdon, and Josh Hart later/another year, Jalen Brunson more recently, etc. But Spurs have been ok in the draft recently. No qualms with their recent picks of guys like Blair, Murray, White (even though I wasn't sold on him until mid way through this year), Walker (we'll see, but everyone is saying that was a good pick). Only one people can really say was ? was Kyle Anderson.
