Draft Loaded With Potential Star Bigs

[clambake]

its really not about talent anymore.

*sigh*

If only Pop would just read ST once in a while...

I agree. Pop is an immature coach who doesn't have patience.

I agree. He panics too quickly.

Not that the Spurs should target him, but it looks like Jared Sullinger has some back issues that will cause him to slide a little bit.

Ya if the Spurs were able to acquire a pick late in the first round they could probably snag him, if not the are ready to welcome him with open arms

I don't see how we can get Drummond since he may go as high as 2 to Charlotte. The guy I would like to get is Leonard. He is big and very athletic for a guy his size. If the choice is between Splitter and Leonard, I may roll the dice on Leonard since he is younger and has the better offensive tools. I think we have the assets, Splitter, Neal & Bonner to get a late lottery pick and steal Leonard. Also, under the tutelage of Ducan and Pop, he should develope into a solid big man.

at the thought that Pop can develop a big man.

If the Spurs could get Andre Drummond AND Myers Leonard, then RC Buford deserves the EOY for that alone.....it's next to impossible to pull that off.

No, Splitter and a second big.

Remember we don't have a first round pick so most of the good players will be gone.

In order to trade up again to get one of the 'known quan ies", we'd have to work some deal involving Parker or Manu (probably with another player) and the loss to the team and rotation wouldn't be worth it for a 'possible' level sort of player.

We'll probably go hard for Lorbeck and try to keep Diaw.

Spurs should trade up to the early 2nd and pick up Drew Gordon if he's available. I am positive that Gordon is going to be a great role playing big man. I know that part of this is the UNM homer in me but I really do believe he's going to be a great 2nd round pick up.
