    What pick after Joseph could possibly help the Spurs this year? Seriously, none of the picks would do crap.
    In hindsight, nobody's become a contributor. It's a good point. The Spurs may simply have believed that CJ was the most likely guy to be a pro of the players that were left. That makes sense.

    Parsons is the only one that I could think of - but you have a great point when only one person can be used as an example in a complete round of the draft.

    Were it a conclusion, I would have chosen a term other than "fairly likely". Either your reading comprehension sucks or you're spoiling for a fight. For the moment I'll pretend that it was a legitimate question:

    No, it's a guess. There has to be a reason to pick Joseph, I'm just struggling to figure out what it is on a team whose window is still believed to be open by their front office with a coach who's reluctant to give PT to inexperienced players.
    A number of people dont understand your bland nothingness. Not intimidated by the moment... this is of course why he picks up his dribble at absolutely horrible times. So your not that bad if "not intimidated by the moment"

    God help this turnip.

    Imo, Joseph was a pick for the future. As far as Pop reluctance to play inexpierenced players, thats proving to be a myth, giving the past season and so far this season.

    I know it is early and it does not mean much but Draft Express has us taking the following player in the first round:

    Tony Wroten PG/SG
    Height (with shoes): 6-5
    Weight: 204.5
    Wingspan: 6-8

    From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com#ixzz1nG5roS5A

    Wroten reminds me of Rafer Alson. I mean, nobody in the college game can make the highlight passes Wroten can, but he turns it over a lot and his shooting sucks. Plus he has already torn an ACL. Wroten has been a really hyped prospect for a long time who looks like he's not going to live up to the potential. This guy used to be a top-5 prospect in his class, but then again, so was the Celtics' backup point Avery Bradley. On the plus side Wroten has great size for the position and that combined with his ballhandling skill makes him a perfect project point guard to take with a late pick. I still don't know what the they saw in Joseph. Size maybe?

    A pick for the future at a current position of need doesn't make a ton of sense to me, but I've worn that point out, and I guess I'm the only one who feels that way. Seeing the two or three guys they wanted off the board just before their pick was probably what happened and Joseph was the only other person they even considered, so it just became a pick for the future because there were no other options once the Heat picked Cole.

    Myth? Tiago Splitter says o from the bench last year.

    If that is the case then they need to fire there scouting department. Everyone had Cory as a mid to late second rounder.

    Not true. The Cavs wanted him with their 2nd round pick.

    George Hill was supposed to be a mid 2nd round pick as well. We got him in the 1st round and the rest is history.
