The future of the spurs

ah ok...I saw him on youtube.
Waouh he's kind of gino+carter

Ginobili is probably the best comparison, though he's a more "fluid" athlete. Again, he's going to have to put on some weight to deal with the physicality of the NBA or he'll end up very injury prone (a la Ginobili) or settle for too many jumpshots. He has the skill to be a good/great all-around player, but he isn't without flaws.

Negatives on him are his lack of size/strength and that he falls in love with his jumpshot too much. But don't get me wrong....I'd be psyched if the Spurs were able to land him.

Rudy's buyout could be an issue, and his lack of strenth is certain to be an issue, listed at 175lb. I know his hot shooting raises his value, so I won't disagree that it might not happen, but it is possible.

that is not right. some draft boards use numbers that are two year old, because they don't update the profile every year.
his clubs listed him this year at 84 kg, (which is 187 lbs) and from what I have seen this should be accurate.
yes, that is still quite thin, but he is said to work hard as any player, also in the weight room, so he should be able to add another 10 lbs. if he is close to 200 lbs, he should be able to compete at NBA level.

About Alando Tucker. I'm just not sold...

He thrives in college, but I think he'd be overmatched (both offensively and defensively) in the pros, no matter how much experience he has. He is athletic, but will run guard/and be guarded by much taller and bigger players. I just don't see him as NBA-ready as you do....he'll need to gain 15-20 pounds and develop an outside shot in order to not be considered a fringe rotation guy.

it was just an answer, who is in the draft who could help immediatly and might be still on the board when Spurs pick.
Tucker seems to be a great young man, very mature, who will do whatever he is asked. he is the leader of the currently best college team and even if he isn't the most outstanding talent, he has improved from year to year (thanks to very hard work, like his coach underlines) and he is playing very constantly. (27 games in a row scoring double digits)
again. when thinking of a player, who can provide help immediatly, I can't think of many others, who could do like Tucker. (AND will be available when the Spurs pick)
