Spurs Planning On Drafting F Livio Jean-Charles?

[BatManu20]

I think the Spurs should push for Al Aminu from The Pelicans. He is 6'10 7'3 arm span, 32 inch Max Vert and an NBA experienced combo 4. Shouldn't cost more than the M.L.E

Push for him for what exactly? Aminu is still really raw and doesn't provide much offensively. He'd be a liability there.

1st off Aminu is 6'8 and no where near the value of a mle type player. I would not mind seeing him in a spurs uni but it better be around 1.5-2.5 mil a year.

Aminu is 6'9 actually

SB nation has him at 6'11, is that site reliable?

Which French Spur is "soft"?

Does the name Ian Mahinmi ring a bell?

[Dunc n Dave]

I know it's semantics, but the Spurs have the 28th pick, not the 29th. (Miami and OKC had better records). The writer could at least check his facts before publishing...

[KawhiLeonard]

If giannis adetokoubo is available at 28 the spurs will not pass on him but I think he is going anywhere from 18-24 hopefully he drops

^Shouldnt you be working on your free throws?

Aminu is 6'9 1 inch my mistake. I didn't say full M.L.E but may have to overpay to discourage the Pelicans (He's an RFA). He clearly is worth more than the L.L.E. You don't get many long, athletic, combo 4's. He's only 22 has been on 2 teams and had 3 coaches. Former lotto pick who is averaging 7.5 ppg, 7.7 rpg and 47% FG. He can be a steal but needs consistency. A role on a winning team would be good for both him and the Spurs.

Was he soft?

My impression was that he simply didn't have enough of a feel for the game of basketball, despite having a perfect body type.

The fact he is 22 is exactly the reason why a team like the pelicans will overpay for this kid and spurs should rightfully stay away. By the way, New Orleans has more cap room than SA and much more reason to Gamble on a kid like this. Just not worth the risk for the Spurs in my opinion.

I say moving up in the draft worked pretty well for us with KL... lets do that again!

I heard that the Pelicans had no interest in resiging Aminu, otherwise he wouldn't be hitting the streets in the first place.

[rascal]

Any solid quality backup pgs late in the first round? Spurs could fill a need with the draft for next years team instead of a stash player.

[exstatic]

No. Draft an Amemrican player with American toughness, a la Kawhi, the Spurs best draft pick in a decade.
And if the player isn't good enough to play NOW, draft someone else.

You do understand that we can't pry away the 15th pick every year and use it to select a top 10 talent, don't you?

The rumor is that NO is going to take Marion and Dallas' #13 pick, and use that for Adetokunbo.

You'd think people would figure that out when they did NOT pick up his year three option, and made him an UFA.

That's what I'm talking about.

You mean like Howard or Griffen? Tough guys.

I prefer Gorgui Dieng instead. Reminds me of Tiago, except no hook shots or soft layups.



Or if Spurs opt for a PG that can pass and make some decent rebounds, then Nate Wolters

Dieng would be a great pickup but he's almost guaranteed to be drafted before we pick. He'd be a steal at 28 if he slipped though. He can also shoot the mid-range J which is huge. Nate Walters will get destroyed defensively in the NBA imo. He won't be able to guard any PG's at the next level.
