So he shut it down after an impressive start to the Combine. I remember a certain French player who shut it down after the Combine when he got a promise from a certain team in South Texas.
Except that Samanic will probably have an impact in the NBA.

That's what I was going to ask, tbh.
Isn't that exactly what happened with Livio?
Did he play in the combine? I know he dominated in the Nike Hoop Summit but I don't remember when/if a promise came.
Nike Hoop Summit. Sorry, that’s what I meant. He dominated at the Hoop Summit and mysteriously disappeared after that. It was widely believed at that point that he had received a promise from a team. Then, on draft day, lo and behold, the Spurs selected him.
I thought you were talking about Batum. Who shut it down and started complaining about having heart problems. Well, he was picked up by Houston a pick a head of the Spurs. Then he was traded to the Blazers right after.
The Blazers didn't fall for this gimmick. Spurs had to pick George Hill instead.
Is he like Saric?
ESPN has him up to #30. Tankathon has him at #26.
I still think the Spurs have to take him at 19 if they want him ...
Could be the best playa in the draft tbh.......
19th: Samanic
29th: Roby
Move up in 2nd rd and get Bazley
That would be a great draft, tbh, with Samanic and Roby.
I'd take him over Zion tbh.
Seems like a more athletic, but t-Rex arm version of Dragan Bender?
I wonder if Bender might be a target in free agency this year, actually. Especially if Milutinov stays overseas, having a guy with that size who can space the floor might make him a worthwhile project.
Possibly. I am personally not a fan; I don’t think he really shoots well enough to actually space the floor, but in theory he does. But he’s still really young and has some tools to work with for sure.
I want to take what you taking, you need to be high on something else to succeed seeing any hope in Bender, lol...
I'm not a real bender fan (although I thought he had potential when he was drafted) but, I don't think he's ready to be thrown on the dump heap. He's played in such a dysfunctional organization with no consistency from the HC on up. There might be something there if he's in a stable environment.
Phoenix is where prospects go to die. They haven't developed a single player well in my recent memory. Closest is Booker, who is as much an incomplete player on a bad team as he is a rising star. I like Bender on a flier, and I'd be very happy with Josh Jackson.
It was a joke draft pick from the get go, the guy is afraid of himself, everyone could saw it even before he came to the nba...
Eh. People said Hezonia was a bust too. Some dudes are just overdrafted. Sucks for the teams that spend the high picks on the guys, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth developing or won't end up earning roster/rotation spots. I wasn't talking about signing him as a starter or anything, but in a similar capacity as Pon or Cun last year, I think he'd be fine.
Are you not saying hezonia is a big time bust? seriously, I need that smoke you having!! hezonia was also a stupid draft pick, prospect that everyone should have saw not worth first round pick as he was so imature, unproven at all with no productivity or feel for the game...
In Bender case he just doesn't have the nature or mentality to compete against boys, sometimes a lost cause is a lost cause...
The problem with a shifty draft you tend to over reach on potential and that word has gotten more GM fired over the years. Take this draft I would hate to be drafting in the lottery I don’t think there is any player that will be close to a franchise player. After pick 3 it a toss up who will have a better career
Would the Spurs really be willing to bring him overseas next season already, tho?
