We could definitely use a player like Derrick Williams. He'd immediately make an impact as our PF. He's got a bright future ahead of him.

This. ^^^
Just wanted to point out that the College 3 line is only 20 feet 6 inches. But if Arizona didn't go on that run, then perhaps Williams doesn't get that much pub? Think of it this way, years ago, Providence went crazy good and got to the Elite 8 and they had 2 stud players who got drafted. Austin Croshere, went in Round 1 and God Shammgod, in round 2. Where are they now and really, what kind of impact did they have in the Association?
I like Williams. He spent his High School and AAU years being overlooked and undervalued to the point that he actually ended up at Arizona as a secondary choice by the coaches. In essence, they brought him in because the guy they really wanted, didn't want to go to Arizona.
Despite that, while he is worthy of being a Top 5 pick in this year's draft, I'd liken his real value to be more like that of Danny Granger, who went #17 in his draft year. A solid player who should have gone higher based on his production now.
Nope. Irving and Williams are great players. They could go in TOP 5 every draft. The rest suck. Pick 3+ is like 14 in other drafts.
I would totally trade Parker for Derrick Williams. That guy is going to be a beast.
Better be part of a bigger deal to move Ginobili and Duncan for youth then.
I cannot believe this draft is so ty that Brandon Knight is #3 in both the draftexpress and nbadraft.net mocks. Don't get me wrong; Knight has good size and athleticism for the position and loads of potential, but he never really showed himself to be a point guard this season. He's the kind of player you'd take 8-14 in a normal draft.
Gh3 for the number 2? Throw in Blair or Neal if we must.
How many more shots do the so called big three need?
It should be apparant by now the big three can't get it done anymore as the top players on the team. Break it up and get bigger, younger, quicker and more athletic. It will take breaking up the big three to make that change.
Subs uting a role player or two with other role players wont work anymore.
There will be star impact players that come out of this draft.
Every draft has some great/good players.
Just have to make the right call on the right player.
I wouldn't send much more than George Hill and DeJuan Blair for the #2. I'd keep Tony Parker before giving him up for #2 and a couple scrubs. As a fan it would be exciting to see something big and new like that, but there's no way it'll happen imo.
This draft was pretty lousy before Barnes, Sullinger, Jones III, Henson, and Jones pulled out. If Irving doesn't live up to the hype, then it could really be another 2000 level draft (e.g., the one with Marcus Fizer, Kenyon Martin, Stromile Swift, Darius Miles, Chris Mihm, Jerome Moiso, and DerMarr Johnson).
Now if Tim retires at the end of next season and the Spurs could get the #2 pick in the 2012 draft for Tony or Manu, that I would be all over.
we should focus in the available Minny players.
They have too many wings and bigs. We could easily get one of their bigs and 1 wing player really cheap.
No. Every analysis of this draft I see say that Irving and Williams will likely develop into solid starters, but not stars. If John Wall is judged to be a 100, Irving is probably an 88-90. For a number one pick, you want him to either dominate at the previous level, have the physical attributes to dominate at the next level, or best case: both. Irving has neither.
Trade parker for bynum
Ginobili for flynn,webster? and #2 draft williams
Trade blair/Bonner(I wish), and rj for mike miller and joel anthony
Duncan takes a pay cut and extension
Trade hill for a high second round pick, and get jajuan johnson or our 29th pick and hill to get singleton
If not, draft Lucas Nogueria with our pick
Get rid of bonner somehow and get a decent backup power forward with duncan's salary drop or take a ris with richards
Sign a back up point guard-Mike Bibby- I know he sucks but not a lot of options on the market and can be cheap
Start of a solid rebuild

Exactly, Derrick Williams isn't going to save this Spurs team.
Spurfan would really trade Parker for an unknown? smh.
This. We will get more than #2 in a ty draft for Parker when the time comes.
I never said straight up. Where did I say that? I'd take any of their young 2-3s along with the #2 and beasley
Rose is MVP. Parker didn't even make the All-Star team.
I like Parker, but he and Rose are worlds apart as far as basketball talent is concerned. Rose is a franchise player. Parker is not. Thems the facts.
+1
DWill is going to be an All Star. The guy grew leaps and bounds in his two years at AZ.
