This honestly might be the last guy in the draft that I would want lol if we draft him 29th I won’t hate it but I feel like having him and Bertans is kinda redundant, both guys will be defensive liabilities in the nba
If you have a Manu Ginobili at 19, you dont try to risk losing that kind of talent and say.... Lets wait until 29 to get him because other mocks say he isnt that valued. You don't do that. You draft what you think is a surefire prospect and dont look back. Some of yall are being babies about drafting prospects too high or too low. Thats how you miss out on players by 1 or 2 picks when you try to play that game.
UGH! He's not my top choice at 19. My choice would be Hachimura or Clarke, and Claxton at 29. It sounds like RC may be smitten on Samanic. His defense is questionable, but we'll see what will happen when that time comes; who will be available and what decisions or moves, if possible,
PATFO will make in this draft. It will be interesting; it could be a letdown, but either way, GSG and let's have a good 2019 Draft!
Didn't he impress scouts at the combine? I'd like him even at 19, but he's a huge project and would go to Austin for a season at least. Kid is only 19 and a lot of his weaknesses are due to lack of effort. He could be great, but would need at least 3 years to develop
It all depends if he's got the killer instinct or whether he'll just be a weak minded player (like most of the Spurs stars).
They're not really the same type of player tbh and there are two more risky prospects than Samanic that have been mocked to the Spurs, at least Samanic has an intriguing skill set that could turn him into a good player though.
Kinda weird. Feels like Samanic and PATFO are not bothering to hide the mutal interest, nothing stopping another team from swooping in unless the Spurs promised to take him with the 19th pick.Having dinner with Pop. Posting Spurs photos on his Instagram. All the signs are there.
I wouldnt even count Danny Green as someone who handles the ball.
Nobody really knows... maybe he's bait.
Yeah he had a great first day and shut it down for second day. I know a lot of players do that, but imo this means you are not comfortable in performing well again. Be the man and impress on second day as well, show them it wasn't just a fluke.
You shut it down because you are confident that someone will draft you. Otherwise you keep on 'interviewing'.
No need to show anymore if you already have made the sale!
Shamanic rulessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Id rather take a gamble on Bender from PHX as a reclamation project. He’ll be a free agent, similar skill set, and can come in from day 1 (as opposed to this kid who I fear would just be stashed).
I'd almost rather the Spurs had 24 and 25 rather than 19 and 29. That way, they'd be able to draft the first guy knowing who would be around for the second pick. Samanic makes some sense as BPA at 19, but there's a really good chance that center will be BPA again at 29. Drafting an SF with both picks isn't a big deal, but two centers with Poeltl, Aldridge and Milutinov already in the pipeline/depth chart would be weird. At the same time, though, you can always sign meh players to fill out your roster, so if the wings around for those picks aren't BPA, there's no need to force it.
38' max vert, knew he was athletic but 14th overall at the combine and the 2nd most athletic front court player is pretty impressive,
Yeah no more stashing first rounders over seas our team is not stacked like the old days. So if you draft him you better bring his ass over even if it putting him in G League for most of the time.
Racist idiot posters are pathetic tbh. Everyone on here thinks because he’s white he’s a cripple tbh smh disgusting per par.
He's Croatian. Balkan players are by far the best European basketball players and also the ones with the most athleticism. I laughed at people who thought Doncic's game won't translate to the NBA. He was the clear cut favorite for rookie of the year from the get go
Something told me some loser was going to take it the wrong way, sure enough some loser did.
I wasn’t talking about you tbh
Supposedly he headed to workout for the Warriors after he left San Antonio so safe to say he hasn't gotten a promise from the Spurs.
Also means his agent may not think Samanic will be gone before the Warriors pick.
probably then he received some promise to be chosen with 29...not with 19...
Yeah he impressed all around at the combine which makes it even more odd about his productivity overseas. I mean his numbers arent awful but they were not great either and according to folks on here who have consistently watched him play, they've been unimpressed.
I like him, Mfiondu and Claxton the most out of the front court guys. Him and Claxton are kinda similar besides him being bigger and more athletic! If they really like his upside they gotta draft him at 19.
I honestly am a little worried due to his consistency issues but he just turned 19 in January so he is still a young and has a great chance to improve
Stands to reason, though that is really risky on the Spurs part. The Spurs seem to be very interested but that doesn't stop teams in the 20-28 range from being interested in him also.
If the Spurs plan to take him with 29 ,and it were to actually happen, then that would be a pretty damn good draft, with the 19th pick freed up to use on a better prospect- though that means Roby and Claxton would likely be out of the picture.
