It's useful if you don't wan't to fill a roster spot with someone who wouldn't get playing time anyway. If you have other options for roster spots, it doesn't hurt to have projects going on in the background.

Pre-Draft Interview
Is it me or does this young man show that A.I top passion? He is the real in that category as well as a stellar athlete. The shooting will come around and the rest of his game will become refined over timeYou can't teach passion or desire!!!
If he can just become a more serviceable shooter, be better with his decision making overall, and become more disciplined on defense, he could be a pretty special player. I've come to trust the spurs development. Pop will push him, and I'm sure the staff is formulating a plan of what they want from him if they haven't done so already. I think his ceiling is 6th man of the year at sg like his mentor Jamal Crawford to starting pg with All Star potential. I think he has Crawford's shiftiness, Westbrook's fearlessness attacking the rim. He has the tools and potential and if he has the work ethic, which hes said to have, then he should at the very least be a backup combo guard that is an energy boost of the bench. But my prediction is that he'll be starting the season after Tonys contact is up. So he had two years to show something. I imagine this first year he'll see alot of time in the D-league, followed by a year fighting for a rotation spot, and then if he earns a rotation spot, consideration for a starting role. This year, I think there will be a slight chance that he Tony Parker's Tony's spot like Tony did to Antonio when he was 19. That would be ironic and the only way I see that happening is Tony would have to be completely awful and in decline and Murray would have to be running the team solid. It starts with summer league imo and I hope he's able to play. It would be important to his early development. Tony is already off to an awful start in Europe so there's a chance. I'm not emotionally tied to whether he takes Tony's spot or not, just starting my opinion about how his development can go.
Bill simmons says the steal of the draft
doesn't he say that about more than one team each year? The more I think about it, though, the more I like it. Manu replacement.
I know he is still very raw, but I'm just hoping Pop throws him into fire early in the season to see what he's got for base talent and how he'd interact with better teammates..Is it me or does this young man show that A.I top passion?

He seems very business-like with a slight hint of at ude. A "I'm just bout that action" type. Saying all the right things so far.
Starting to like him already.
When is Summer Camp?
Kids foot control and lateral movement for a 19 year old is amazing and with his wingspan he could become a of a defender with Spurs coaching.
Spurs will ask him the same question they asked Kawhi...do you want to be just good or do you want to be great? Chip can fix his shot.
Will he be willing to change his hairstyle to save his shot, as YouTube videos would have us believe? We'll see.
i wonder if they asked Fathead the same thing...
Kawhi got the cornrows. This dude got the high top fades.

Im already excited for this kid, I love his upside. Very tenacious and you can just see the drive he plays with when you watch him play. He has the potential to flourish with the Spurs and become a special player.
His shot doesn't look horrible and seems to be a guy that'll work hard.
I'm sold.
Dude is going to shock some people his first year.
He seems really mature for a kid @ his age. I'm liking this pick more and more.
Homeschooled in high school. No wonder he has his head together. Not dumbed down by the public fool system. Way to go parents.Is it me or does this young man show that A.I top passion? He is the real in that category as well as a stellar athlete. The shooting will come around and the rest of his game will become refined over time
I can't for the life of me figure out how this kid fell this far. It's like all the other teams looked around after the Spurs grabbed him and went, "How did we let this happen again?"
is there a chance he could make an impact this season and get some minutes as a backup pg?
