Per Jeremy Woo in the latest SI mock draft: "It's worth noting two names that come up frequently in connection with the Spurs are Nassir Little and Luka Samanic".
I would love Little honestly; flaws and all. Read that his shooting concerns were somewhat squashed during workouts. Had a dream that Timvp was giving a lecture pre-draft and said Samanic was the best player in the draft
I’d love nassir LittleI just don’t see the love for Luka Samanic though
i think the spurs would have to move up to get little. he may go be a late lottery pick or just right before 19th.

Claxton opted to end his workouts for teams early, and, feels secure with where he stands range-wise going into draft night, per a source. That range now begins somewhere in the teens, as he’s been one of the more notable risers during the past six weeks, and has been able to showcase his versatility and tools during workouts. There’s some real optimism around the league that he can do some ball-handling and become uniquely useful on the perimeter as more of a forward than a center. His defensive capabilities are also extremely promising, as he’s mobile enough to switch on the perimeter and also help on the inside.
Claxton is just starting to tap into his ability, and finding someone with his upside in this range of the draft is appealing. He feels like a Spurs-y project, and San Antonio needs to get younger up front. It’s worth noting two names that come up frequently in connection with the Spurs are Nassir Little and Luka Samanic—they might have to move up a bit from here to grab Little, and Samanic could be available at No. 29.29

Per sources, the Spurs are among the teams who have shown real interest in Samanic, and while he could feasibly be in play for them at No. 19, if he falls this far in the first round, this spot could be a match. His mixture of skill level and size at his age help set him apart from the pack, the hope being that he develops into a useful stretch big who can play a variety of roles, and even playmake a little bit on the perimeter.
Samanic has to keep getting stronger to handle the physicality of the NBA, and he probably needs a year to get up to speed, but his talent level is certainly evident. I’m told he intends to come over and be a roster player next season, as opposed to being stashed in Europe for another year. He fits the Spurs to a T.49. San Antonio - Tremont Waters, PG, LSU
Waters’s impressive basketball IQ and overall chops that belie his small stature make him an interesting fit if he slips to the Spurs here—it’s possible he goes in the 30s. Second-round ranges tend to skew wide. This would still be a nice fit.

The Spurs lack depth at power forward and with LaMarcus Aldridge quickly approaching his mid-30s (he'll turn 34 in July), they should turn to the future. Hachimura has guard skills but can play either forward spot, and his compe iveness could give him an edge to play early.Round 1 Pick 29

The Spurs need also to address their depth at center, where Jakob Poeltl and Drew Eubanks were both stretched past what they should have been last season. Fernando can be an instant impact player at the position who can bring intensity, rebounding and a physical post presence that would play well off LaMarcus Aldridge.Round 2 Pick 19

The Spurs' success over the years has come largely as a byproduct of success in the draft. Getting Nowell would continue that. He was the best player in the Pac-12 last season and was one of the big risers in the pre-draft process after a really strong combine showing.

19. San Antonio Spurs
Goga Bitadze
Buducnost
Age: 19.9
C
Height: 6-foot-11 | Weight: 251
With LaMarcus Aldridge entering his mid-30s, the Spurs don't have much in the way of frontcourt building blocks on the roster at the moment, outside of Jakob Poeltl, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract after playing just 17 minutes per game last season.
Enter Bitadze, who has been extremely productive at the highest levels of compe ion outside the NBA in the Euroleague. His excellent skill level offensively -- including his budding ability to stretch the floor -- is attractive, given his combination of size and reach, especially since he has yet to turn 20.29. San Antonio Spurs (via Raptors)
Darius Bazley
Team: N/A
Age: 19.0
F
Height: 6-foot-9 | Weight: 208
The Spurs don't have a great deal of depth at the forward spots, and they can afford to roll the dice a bit this late in the draft on an upside-laden player in need of development.
Bazley has had a terrific pre-draft process in which he has demonstrated an improved frame, a more consistent shooting stroke and a more polished and refined skill set than you would expect considering his age and the fact that he sat out the season. Bazley's potential as a multiposition defender who can handle the ball in spurts and make an open shot is intriguing considering his size.49. Spurs

19. Spurs - Goga Bitadze, PF/C, Republic of Georgia
Bitadze has proven himself as a quality talent overseas. He's a big man who can shoot from beyond the arc and should space the floor nicely. He's not said to be a great defender but is crafty on the offensive end and seems like the type of project that head coach Gregg Popovich could flourish with.29. Spurs (via Raptors) - Darius Bazley, SF/PF, USA
Bazley was a McDonald's All-American and five-star recruit coming out of high school. It's been a rocky road for the high school phenom since then - he committed and decommitted from Ohio State, then committed and decommitted from Syracuse, then elected to spend a year in the G League before changing his mind again and using the entire year to train for this upcoming NBA Draft.
He's a 6'10 athletic slasher who has some touch from midrange and the perimeter. He's a versatile defender and good rebounder and is a threat in transition as a ball handler or runner.
Bazley is a project, but the Spurs could use some depth at forward and he can truly play the 3 or the 4 at the next level. It's a low-risk/high-reward pick for San Antonio this late in the first round.

19. San Antonio Spurs: Goga Bitadze, C, Georgia, 6-11, 1999.
The Spurs need to add some young talent up front, and Bitadze is a skilled, although not overly athletic big man.29. San Antonio Spurs (from Toronto Raptors): Zach Norvell Jr., SG, Gonzaga, 6-5, Soph.
Since I have the Spurs going adding size with their earlier pick, they look to add perimeter depth here. The Chicago native has good size for an NBA two guard, is explosive at the rim, but also has a nice stroke from the perimeter.49. San Antonio Spurs: Admiral Schofield, SF, Tennessee, 6-5, Sr.
I'm guessing that they're offering #6 to NO for Ball to see if they'll bite.

Scouts are mixed on KZ but he's got freaky length and an advanced to-the-basket game, making him a possible lottery pick. The Spurs would be a great landing spot.

Damned straight.
Darius Bazely likely won’t make it to 29. The Nets are reportedly really high on him. Won’t make it past them at 27 imo.
The very real risk with Bazely is that his development curve is longer than his rookie deal, and that some other team reaps the benefits.
Saw PJ Washington at 19 on Ringer's mock, i'd flip if he fell to 19.
I'm surprised how Thybulle has barely been mentioned as someone the Spurs might draft.
