Bol Bol would've been interesting 10 years ago not in today's league, tbh.

NBADraft.net has the Spurs taking LSU center Naz Reid at #9.

Looks like a throwback big man.

Could he have impact in the "new" NBA?

They really think we wouldn't take Sekou if he's available?

I been saying that the way to go might be to trade Gasol for another bad contract and a higher draft pick. Batum is also an option

Batum is a tease, like Diaw. They both flash world class skills from time to time, but then mostly just drift through games, weeks, and months. His contract is horrible, too.

Reading comprehension is hard, isn't it. Obviously he doesn't want Batum to win.

Yep. Hachimura is getting somewhat overrated. He's a four without range. He could totally play in the NBA, especially if he can hold up at the five, but he's not really the answer to the Spurs' wing problems. A Charlotte fan on RealGM suggested the Spurs moving Gasol and the Toronto pick for the Hornets pick and Biyombo. I'd do that deal if the pick isn't too heavily protected. The chance to get into the late-teens and grab Rui after using the team's natural pick on a regular wing would be tremendous. Failing that, grabbing Hunter with the Spurs' pick and Lawson, Wilkes or Bazley with the Toronto pick feels like a better idea.

Depends on what you mean by range. His mid-range game is money. None of the Spurs all-stars have been great three point shooters. Like you said before, Kawhi didn't have that range coming into the NBA but eventually developed it. That's what I expect from Rui. He already has great form and has proven himself to be one of the best, if not the best, player in college basketball right now. You're not drafting on "future potential" like these one and dones. You'd be drafting on skillset and ability right now with massive upside.

Who has the biggest forehead in this draft class? Whoever that is, that is who the Spurs will pick.

[TimDunkem]

No more ing midrange shooters.
