Spurs passed up on Erick Green (led the nation in scoring) in the 2013 NBA Draft

[jimbo]

Post all the picks for both teams the past ten years.

I posted the relevant ones for the Spurs, you can go ahead and throw Livio on there too though. I don't care about picks that we never got if you're trying to hint at that. I think it would edge it to the Thunder regardless. Bledsoe > Dragic.

I'll do the same for the Thunder/Sonics.

Sonics
Collison, Ridinour, Swift (lol lol lol), Petro, Sene, Durant, Westbrook

Thunder
Ibaka, Harden, Reggie Jackson, Perry Jones III, Adams (The NZ guy)

They drafted just as many irrelevant bigs, but hit big time everywhere else tbh.

[DesignatedT]

The Thunder, without question

Beno, Mahimi, Tiago, Hill, Blair, Anderson, Kawhi, Cojo

Relevant picks in the last decade for the Spurs. That list ain't ballin.

OKC has definitely drafted well but they have had some high draft spots compared to the Spurs. Reggie Jackson and Ibaka at #24 are nice picks but still 4 or 5 spots higher than where the Spurs usually pick.

Westbrook and Harden were both top 4 picks and Adams was picked #12 and Bledsoe #18. All lottery selections.

The last time they picked in "Spurs territory" they took Perry Jones at 28 who has been underwhelming thus far. The last time the Spurs had a "lottery pick" they chose Leonard. The Spurs haven't had the draft positions OKC has had to play with.

So you just want to cherry pick.

OK.

Who cares about the irrelevant picks? Do you?

Out of all those Spurs picks, one of those was below pick #26 and that was Anderson at 20. The rest were very high draft picks.

Spurs territory has been a little higher than 28th...when the spurs had the 29th they got Cojo. I mean Reggie Jackson and Ibaka weren't high picks and they turned out well. (both 24th overall) That was around where Hill went. (26th)

They hit on every single lottery pick they had after Durant. That has to be #1.

[ChumpDumper]

Who cares about the irrelevant picks? Do you?

Nobody knows they are "irrelevant" when they are made, so if you are judging how a team has drafted on the whole, you have to look at all their picks.

Again, if you just want to cherry pick to declare a winner, I'll say Cleveland did the best job of drafting in the past ten years since they picked Lebron.

Wow, they hit on lottery picks!

Amazing!

Here you go. You add Dragic and Nando De Colo to the list. But take away Kawhi because the Spurs didn't draft him.

Is this list supposed to impress me? Haven't hit on a pick since George Hill.

i said compare then to all the other teams the past ten years.

Considering draft position and all the playoff runs, it's better than any other team I have seen. Feel free find a better record.

I just did compare them to the Thunder and it ain't even close. The Thunder won hands down. Their drafting > the Cavs even with Lebron in there.

I don't respect these chicken qualifiers Spurs have no good picks, but we're still the best

[ChumpDumper]

Then list all the picks and let us compare.

There you go. And it was easy to see how studly the Thunder have been tbh.

The Spurs are the ugly dude who brags about getting a 6/10 because he outkicked his coverage. The Thunder are just flat out banging Victoria Secrets models, no qualifiers attached.

You can't whine about qualifiers when all you do is cherry pick lottery players.

[TheGoldStandard]

2013: Thomas will probably never play as a Spur / Livio might in about 4 seasons.
2012: Marcus Denmon will never play for the Spurs
2011: Hanga keeps getting older and has been injured past few seasons in Europe, maybe see him in a season or two
2011: Cory Joseph is currently on our Roster but hasn't shown vast improvement.
2010: Ryan Richards will never play as a Spur
2010: James Anderson showed potential but given how much depth we had a SG made no sense to keep him around
2009: De Colo, I think thats all that needs to be said
2009: James McClinton, another useless SG
2009: DeJuan Blair, experiment who didn't pan out
2008: James Gist, who?
2008: Goran Dragic, A PG who we needed but traded away for Malik Hairston and essentially DeJuan Blair. Having success with Phoenix
2008: George Hill was a great pick up at the time, filled a need and gave us Kawhi Leonard.. Successful draft pick
2007: Giorgos Printezis, yeah I have no idea who this guy is either
2007: Marcus Williams, Uh Marc Gasol was still on the draft board.
2007: Tiago Splitter... I hate the guy but still a decent pick
2006: Damir Markota
2005: Ian Mahinmi, David Lee, Brandon Bass, Ilyasova, Monta Ellis, Andray Blatche & Amir Johnson were still on the board
2004: Sergei Karaulov
2004: Romain Sato
2004: Beno Udrih
2003: Leandro Barbosa

Then compare with other teams over the same ten years.

You guys are terrible at following directions.

lol Monday morning GMs

You can click a link, can't you Chump?

[ChumpDumper]

Did that well before you did.

You can make a list, can't you?

[T Park]

Spurs have a history of making draft night mistakes, way too many small guards or projects or euros that we won't see for 5 years.

You can't be ing serious....

[jimbo]

I can't. It's beneath me.

You don't need to pop the hood open on a Ferrari to tell that it's better than a Civic.

[T Park]

The spurs don't draft athleticism.

Kawhi Leonard says o wagon

[ChumpDumper]

I can't.

So you are too stupid or afraid.

OK. I'll take the default win. No problem.

[jimbo]

You can't be ing serious....

Within the last decade it's true. Parker/Manu/Scola haven't been drafted in a loonnnngg time.
