General 2013 NBA Draft Discussion

[BackHome]

Anytime the Spurs are mentioned by a "Source" in drafting someone you now it is BS..

[bluebellmaniac]

With Bertans injury, do we now look seriously at drafting a SF, or do we go the veteran route to back up Kawhi? Kawhi is doing spectacularly well, I could see going with a budget signing at backup. Casspi?

[exstatic]

Well I think he also pulled out of camp and he is not working out with any teams so I think it is safe to say he is not coming this year.

He's already coming. He has to file paperwork to "un-come". Until he does, he's in the draft.

Don't be mad...

[DrunkTXLabrat]

i think he even said it during a scouting video. no promise of #15 or better, no nba.

scouting vids and combine interviews are pretty cool.

Allegedly, Dallas was hot for him, and would have kept the #13 pick ONLY to draft and stash him for a year. He wasn't having any of it.

[Baam]

I cast my vote for Glen Rice Jr, got everything we need, defense, shooting, rebounding.

And I like the story, having to go throught the long way to the nba is clearly valued on this team.

I'm not sure how he'd fit next to Manu, he's a much better playmaker than Green so I think they could do ok with each other.

Ledo seems like he may have a bit more raw talent but he's taking a shortcut to the nba by comparison.

[Baam]

Also I'd trade Cojo to Toronto for a second rounder in a heartbeat but they don't have one......

[SpursDynasty21]

I wish there was a way the Spurs could draft (or trade up for) Victor Oladipo. As an IU fan, I had the chance to watch him all season, and his whole time at IU. He's going to be a great player.

[raybies]

We need slashers, ball handlers, and creators who can shoot ang get to the rim.

Danny can work on a pull up and floater. Kawhi can do the same and he can get to the rim more next season. So it mostly falls on the bench guys. Manu can but he's declining. Tough decision this year.

Ricky ledo, Jamal franklin, tony Snell, Reggie bullock for first round. Maybe Archie. Brandon Davies, grant Jarrett , Andre Roberson for 2nd round.

Jarret Jack and David west as ideal free agents.

Thats re ed.

[eDizzle20]

To me the Spurs really could use another ball handler that creates offense, so I'm hoping for Erick Green from Virginia Tech.

People have him projected as a high level Tony Allen guy... and that is way off in my opinion. It wouldn't surprise me if he would become the 1st allstar out of this draft esp in the East where players like Joe Johnson are fixtures there.

2013 Power Forward Crop by the Numbers.

Now I remember why I don't look at this thread that much.

Now I remember why I don't look at this thread that much.

So you think Cojo is really good? He's come a long way since the hunchback first year version that shat the bed in Toronto when Pop gave him pity minutes but with Manu's decline I don't think he's cutting it and I don't see a lot of upside.

[benefactor]

That's because you are dumb. Find something else to do. Talking basketball doesn't suit you.

[Bruno]

[TheCerebral1]

Time for RC and Pop to take some enginuity and move assets around. Adding additional pieces that can help this team now and in the future would be a great fit. Whether it be for the immediate team (next season) or draft and stash types.

[Chinook]

I see little benefit of giving up a future first for the 27th pick. I think they'll end up trying to do what Miami did last season and just move a few picks back and collect an asset from a team that wants a player who falls.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I see a bit of potential in quite a few of the young shooting wings. He's as much a risk as a #28 pick can be, but I'm intrigued by Ricky Ledo. I also like Snell. I like Rice Jr. alot and it's been reported that the team has interviewed him, but he scares me because he's weak defensively. I'm not sure of Hardaway Jr's ceiling, but we're picking late so...whatevs, tbh. He looks like a decent NBA player. I've a feeling we might come away with Isaiah Canaan if we pick a home-grown guy. He's a tiny, but strong point guard. TP needs a backup but, if I remember correctly, he had a bad A/T ratio. And he's tiny. Don't care to have a Nate Robinson simulacrum unless he has Bruce Bowen's brain and Robinson's fire to go along with his stature.

I don't want the San Diego State guy. There are a couple of guys who can handle the rock a bit as well as long-range it that can be had fairly late in the 1st round and I'd rather have them than a garbage bucket guy, even if he can dunk well. Part of our problem was a total lack of dribbling ability when Parker was out and at the same time, there was a lack of offense. Unless there is a big with potential lying around at #28, I want one of these shooters.

I dont think I like Gobert either. He has "physically weak, weak-compe ion foreign guy" written all over him. I've also read that Mike Muscala is physically weak. For me, "physically weak" and "big-man" are phrases not to be conjoined, especially after what happened to Splitter against Miami/Lebron. I still see that "reverse-posterization" in my nightmares.


In short: Get one of these wing shooters. I want Rice, Ledo or Snell and wouldn't cry about Hardaway. No undersized folks (though Canaan might be picked) and no puny "big-men."
