Frederic Weis was the biggest draft blunder in recent memory, with Kandiman a close second.
Holy crap. Sequ's really another mouse troll?

Darius Miles have to be somewhere there with draft busts...
But you've got to admit this really does sound like one of his incredibly awkward rants.
It's his agent... what do you want?
Probably because it lacked the usual vulgarities.
Add to that Dwayne Schintzius

"Worth more than a hill of beans: Possibly the biggest surprise of the first round of the recent NBA draft was IUPUI guard George Hill being selected by the Spurs with the 26th pick. But if that didn't happen, could Hill have ended up a Celtic? Hill was projected by many as a second-round pick and wasn't even listed among the 123 prospects in the NBA's predraft media guide. But after Hill's introductory news conference in San Antonio, his agent, Michael Whitaker, said the Celtics had promised to select Hill with the 30th pick if he was available."

"• The Lakers are close to getting a second-rounder from Seattle and want IUPUI guard George Hill. (32nd pick)"
Mario Chalmers is so good all the championship contenders were fighting to get him.. wtf was R.C and pop thinking.... WHERE THE WERE SequSpur, GINO, NONO, and TLONG, and good ole draft advice... the Spurs shoulda picked up hill at 46.. he woulda been around that long for SURE!............
im done with my late nite rant.. i just was filling in SequSpurs role for Hill sucks threads cuz he seems to be MIA.
Why do we have message boards again? Is it to showcase utter stupidity?
George Hill doesn't care what people like the OP says. He will have millions while you have Spurs talk opinions.
The OP, jayc23, is a long time friend of Hill's. He joined the board when we drafted him. His post is a dig at the other threads tearing apart Hill.
jayc23's introduction thread, giving us a personal view of Hill.

nice. this one is funner than the other ones.
lol... ya George is one of my best friends in real life... but im right up there with SeguSPUR!.... its ok though I went after Obstructed for a sarcastic comment poking at trolls... as soon as George was picked by SA I went searching for where all the SA fans reside on the internet and I have really enjoyed the enthusiasm spurs fans have compared to alot of NBA blogs and boards... even though its been an irritating week with George struggling and dealing with doubters and trolls of the FO... I mainly am frustrated with the fact that so many people make uninformed posts off the top of their head.. like George was some jungle basketball player that fell to the face of the earth when in reality he was on the priority pick lists for a majority of the championship contenders in 09'...

George Hill greatest FO draft blunder of All Time.
No. That honor would go to Alfredrick "The Great" Hughes, Oliver Robinson or Chris Carawell.
my post le was a exaggeration mocking the pre-emptive strike by some spurs fans to write off Hill before he could land in SA.
Was Len Bias considered a FO blunder by the Celtics?
Do you think you're better than the FO? I think they're doing their job alright..
my god... your english teacher didn't do her job right.... if you read the post you will see that I was using ironic humor to prove that Hill was not a very supprising draft choice and his stock was alot higher among NBA teams than Mock writer drafts.
how dare he pass on CDR and chalmers... NO FO WITH
the smart people in the spurs front office are now working for other teams. we're left with the idiot, know-nothing, rc buford.
pop was in town this year
Lets not get to far ahead of ourselves now.
Are they even doing alright? Their priorites going into this off-season should have been (in order)
1) small forward with some size
2) shot blocking c/pf
3) backup pg
Getting a legitimate starting small forward from either draft or free agency should have been numero uno priority and that didn't really get accomplished unless you count their second round pick of Gist, who looks to me like he's going to be more of 4 than a 3.... and being 2nd round pick its not like they were counting on it.
They let a golden opportunity slip by to obtain a legit starting 3 in the draft, when Donte Green fell into their laps at #26 who coincidentally has been tearing apart the summer league averaging 20+ a game. He was the best small forward on the board at that point, and many felt should have been a lottery pick. Maybe they figured they would plug that hole via free agency, but I feel when the opportunity is there to fill a #1 priority you take it, and they whiffed big-time on that one.
Question becomes, why would they deem a backup pg was their greatest need? They have traditionally let Manu run the offense when Parker sits, and they also have Jacque Vaughn, who is servicable and knows the system. Signing Barry was another possibility at that point as well.
As it turns out they had yet another combo guard who can play pg on their radar all along, Roger Mason, whom not surprisingly signed. So why in all honesty did they not take Green if they were planning to go after Mason? Bowen is almost 40 years old, and Udoke is good in limited minutes only. There is a great need for a talented athletic swingman on this team.
It just doesn't make sense, priorities are not being addressed and the team is going to suffer as a result.
