But SI has us taking Nic Claxton at 19, which I would be very happy with.
That means they might actually draft him.

This man is a baller. He is smart, can handle beyond the perimeter, plays in this confident style that was different -- materially -- from most other players in college. Weirdly, he came off the bench the entire season at FSU. Kabengele plays both ends of the floor at what I'd grade as a B-plus level. He'll be drafted in the first round because of his size, smarts, soft hands and, mostly, because he proved in April and May that he was underutilized and has more to give than what he was afforded in college.Round 1 Pick 29

A spindly power forward who would fit ideally in San Antonio's scheme. But remember, as with many of these picks, we're targeting player slots as opposed to franchise destination. By the time we get to the 29th pick, it's possible if not likely that we'll already have seven or eight trades that have gone through.Round 2 Pick 19

The sleeper name of this draft. Jeffries played at Tulsa, where he didn't even rank as one of the five most efficient/proficient players in the AAC last season. But he stands 6-5 with a 7-foot wingspan and has the specs of an enticing second-round type. Jeffries was a four-year player who worked his way to this point, and it's great to see him regarded almost universally as a second-round pick.
Luka Samanic has been linked to us so much it’s pretty much a guarantee we are NOT getting him.

Goga Bitadze
Center Georgia (Europe)
San Antonio Spurs
Stock trend from previous mock: n/a
The 19-year-old Bitadze has been shooting up draft boards of late, as some even have him as a lottery prospect. Once considered an old-school, back to the basket center, he has evolved his game a bit to fit the modern NBA. The Spurs will look to him as a long-term solution at center, hoping he can become the high-ceiling guy he is said to be.29
Ty Jerome
Guard Virginia
San Antonio Spurs
Stock trend from previous mock: -2
Ty Jerome seems like the type of player that the spurs are always looking for- well rounded players who know how to play a role in a set system. Enter Ty Jerome, a three-year collegiate player who excelled playing a role in a successful UVA system. Jerome should be a nice fit on the Spurs’ bench, though he may struggle to find minutes early in his career.

Fansided: Busting Brackets: NBA Draft 2019: Final predictions and analysis for all 60 selections
by Tristan Freeman 4 hours ago [AKA 18 June 2019]
In the past few months, our outstanding writer Brian Rauf has been doing monthly mock NBA Drafts, each time having intriguing scenarios for projected selections. ....
But rather than go to him again, we here at Busting Brackets have decided to create a team mock draft. 12 of us were randomly given five picks each and did our own simulation from 1-60. There were some surprise picks and players who rose higher/fell lower than expected. After the draft, we each did a write-up (name will be listed by selection) for each player. Here are the guys who participated in this mock draft:
Sam Jarrett – @DennisSmithIII Trenton Corn – @theLob_Trenton
Tristan Freeman – @hoopsnut351 Alex Weber – @Weber2MG
Brian Rauf – @brauf33 Josh Stevens – [email protected]
Lukas Harkins – @hardwiredsports Daniel Benjamin – @ZoneDeeSports
Trevor Marks – @twmarks_ Zac Voynow – @zacvoynow
Jerran Anderson – @heregojayagain Brandon Simberg – @BrandonSimberg
*Brian Rauf was unable to do the write-ups for his players due to the birth of his first child (congrats!!!). Tristan Freeman wrote for his picks.49. San Antonio Spurs – Yovel Zoosman (Marks)
If the San Antonio Spurs have a draft pick, let alone three, it’s all but a guarantee that one (or more) of them will be spent on an overseas talent that can be stashed for a year or two, considering the front office’s extensive history of drafting international talent year after year. Yovel Zoosman stands out as a prime candidate for the Spurs at No. 49, both for the international ties and his legit skill level.
The 21-year-old Israeli wing is currently averaging 5.7 points (.455/.361/.736), 2.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game in just over 20 minutes a night through 71 games with Maccabi Tel Aviv, getting real minutes for one of the better teams (in one of the better leagues) overseas. He really stood out for Israel at the 2018 FIBA U18 Championships in Germany, sporting averages of 14.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.6 points en route to a championship le and MVP award.
His passing is attractive, as he has an array of passes in his toolbox that he can make regardless of defensive pressure, and he projects to be a fine secondary ball-handler in the NBA. He’s a solid shooter and defender too, making the most of his 6-foot-7 height and supposed 7-foot-1 wingspan. Zoosman would be a fine pickup for any team, and he makes so much sense for San Antonio here at No. 49.29. San Antonio – Talen Horton-Tucker (Harkins)
The Spurs have a tremendous reputation in the draft but I wanted to venture away from the common mock draft stereotype of the franchise selecting an international prospect. At 6-foot-4 with a ridiculous 7-foot-1 wingspan, Talen Horton-Tucker is a tantalizing member of this class. As just a freshman during this past campaign, the 18-year-old immediately made an impact at the Big 12 level, averaging in double-figures as a scorer. He is a solid creator for a shooting guard and attacks the basket tremendous well as a result of his strength and size. He is not the quickest defender in the class but often makes up for this with his length.19. San Antonio Spurs – Goga Bitadze (Weber)
My pick for the Spurs is like every 23-year-old’s favorite mixed drink: totally exotic. Bitadze isn’t a sexy name on bustingbrackets.com–a college basketball website–because, um, he didn’t play college basketball. Nonetheless, I’m taking Bitadze for San Antonio because 1.) It’s totally a move Pop and the Spurs would make, and 2.) Bitadze has top-end upside in this draft. Goga is a 6’11 lanky center who can protect the rim, knock down spot-up threes, and score with ease around the rim. The Georgian oozes elite two-way potential at the center position. Three-pointers and shot-blocking, what more could you ask in a modern center? Most teams in the NBA are starving for big men with even one of those traits, much less a combination of both.
This is a funky thing to play around with:

9. San Antonio Spurs- Bruno Fernando, C, Maryland
Fernando is a great rebounder and inside scorer as an old-school center. The Spurs need to rebound better next season.29. San Antonio Spurs- Cameron Johnson, F, UNC
The Spurs need to hit on one of their first-round picks if they want to get back to competing for championships. Johnson has great size and shooting ability, but lacks great foot speed.

By Geoffrey C. Arnold
19. San Antonio Spurs: Nickeil Alexander-Walker, SG, Virginia Tech
Alexander-Walker’s decision to return to the Hokies for his sop re season was a good one. He helped the Hokies reach the Sweet 16 for the second time in school history by averaging 16.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists a game. The 6-5 Alexander-Walker is versatile, with the ability to play at both guard positions and can defend at least three positions. Scouts like his cerebral approach to the game and desire to learn.29. San Antonio Spurs (from Toronto): Bruno Fernando, C, Maryland
The athletic Fernando is a 6-10 runner who can get out on the break and finish at the rim. He has developed into an effective threat in the post, using his footwork to establish position for a nice jump hook and drop step.
I'd be good with those top 2 but, at 49 in that mock okeke and claxton are still on the board.

2019 NBA Mock Draft: Picks 1-30
The NBA draft is approaching. Here is the final version of our first-round mock draft.
Written by Tyler Metcalf (@tmetcalf11) on 18 June 2019
19. San Antonio Spurs: (PF) PJ Washington
Team Needs: Shooting, Frontcourt depth, Versatile defenders
The Spurs have a young, promising guard rotation, but their frontcourt is much older and one dimensional. Washington is a very intelligent player that can do a lot of different things on both ends of the floor. He is strong enough to guard post players and agile enough to switch onto guards. He isn’t great at creating his own shot but can finish inside or knock down jumpers. His rebounding and work rate would be a great fit in San Antonio as they continue to rebuild.29. San Antonio Spurs: (F) Luka Samanic
Team Needs: Shooting, Frontcourt depth, Versatile defenders
The Spurs have had great success with foreign-born players (not the only reason this is the pick) and they need additional help on the wing. Samanic was projected as a mid-second round pick, but after he dominated his first (and only) game at the combine he shut down his workouts. This suggests that he received a promise from at least one team. Samanic is a three-level scorer but despite his size, he won’t push opponents around. Samanic uses his agile footwork to create space in the post and on the perimeter. He is a good shooter and has the potential to be a consistent playmaker as well. He has a way to go defensively, but if he gets stronger, he should be more effective.
for what it's worth, jabari young has stated that the spurs are really high on thybulle and okeke.
It is fun. Interesting that i tried several vastly different combinations of the three attributes that you're allowed to select, and Zion and Okeke come out in the top 5 every time.
I doubt he's getting a ton of insider info from the Spurs when he came out and said that the name on the back of the jersey was more important than the name on the front during the Nephew saga last year.
Jabari just tweeted Eric Paschall is moving up on draft boards, he’s a meh pick at 29th though, rather have him in the 2nd Round
That would be a interesting draft.
Draft day can’t come soon enough. Just taking it day by day, and right now I’m just waiting for timvp’s big board.
I'm not fond of any of them either.
From Amico Hoops, “Of the three, Smith is generating the most interest. The Boston Celtics don’t want all three of their picks (Nos. 14, 20 and 22). The Miami Heat may not want theirs (No. 13) and have actually spoken with the Cavs about Smith. The Trail Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs and Milwaukee Bucks are also said to be dangling their first-rounders.”
