I like Kyle Anderson a lot. I cheer for underdogs during March Madness so of course I was watching (13) Tulsa play (4) UCLA and then (12) SFA play (4) UCLA. And let me tell you this: I was extremely impressed with Kyle Anderson. You won't find a smoother offensive player in this draft class. He's extremely comfortable with the ball in his hands and is a great decision maker. He's a nightmare matchup because of his size and passing ability. He's not slow--he's just methodical. No doubt the Spurs took him because of his basketball IQ on the offensive end. Great pick.
Don't like Nemanja Dangubic at all. Can't shoot. Not very athletic. Not very savvy on the offensive end. This is a throw-away pick IMO. Maybe he'll 'develop' into something overseas. Big maybe though. Wish we would have taken a chance on 7'2 Jordan Bachynski.

I don't get this thread at all and I don't feel I learned anything from it.
At 30, don't you just take the best value player left on the board? You're not really drafting to fit a specific position at that point because it's a crap shoot if dude can even really make an impact at all.
Each year 60 players are drafted, but there aren't near that many job openings. And that doesn't count the undrafted free agents either.
So, all you can say tonight is the Spurs drafted a dude that maybe can be effective in their system who fell in their laps. Second round, who knows.
A+
The Spurs drafted a guy in Anderson that fits their system of team ball perfectly, and what Anderson lacks in athleticism he makes up for it in length. Ideally you would like him to play the PF due to his struggles on defense, but overall I am thrilled with the pick. I am excited to watch him in the Summer League.
Spurs could have had Early.
lol welcome back
Timely.
Now you might have to keep two browser windows open.

The team has no needs going into next season, so Anderson with pick 30 is a steal, and we've stashed another Euro with 58/60. I'm not sure how they could've done better given little to work with.
This.
I don't know how anyone could think we could have gotten a better guy at #30. We lucked out getting Kyle. Basically, because the other teams still haven't figured out how to play basketball without superstars. Coaches don't coach anymore, they just put guys on the floor. If you don't see this as a Fantastic move, you haven't figured it out either.
tholdren continues his unabated stream of worthless takes.
@ backseat fans.
This just in, sarcastic posts are cool and edgy and definitely worth an entire thread.
I like Anderson's potential as a stretch four. He's gonna need to speed up his release a little and learn how to use his body against bigger guys. He'll probably have to put on at least 10-15 lbs of bulk. With the way the Spurs have drafted in the first round over the years, I expect a nice player who can maybe give us 10-15 minute a game.
Love Anderson. He has "Spur" written all over him. Should be something like the Anti-Kawhi...but not necessarily in a bad way. Where Kawhi can lock oposing wings down, he has deficiencies. Where Kawhi isn't a great ballhandler, he is the creator.
This thread is
I don't understand why the Spurs couldn't draft a 7 foot athletic black center who has a high basketball IQ, can defend, space the floor, and run with Ibaka with the 30th pick.
Lebron's a free agent.
1. No anger here so you're wrong from the start.
2. Where is the sarcasm? What, your initial post was bull or was it real but you're backtracking now b/c others have reacted negatively to it so now you're trying to save face?
I found that funny too. It'd help to have a trace of sarcasm in any of what he had said but there isn't any.tholdren continues his unabated stream of worthless takes.
This just in, sarcastic posts are cool and edgy and definitely worth an entire thread.
then Im concerned why you keep posting about it? Obviously you are mad, because you keep posting, over and over and over.
Im on a SPURS homer website, why would I think that saying their draft was less than average would go well on here? It was a post for takes, and as expected, you and others got so bent out of shape you keep HAVING to post about it. There is no way I can be wrong about it.
The post is simply my opinion on why I didnt like the use of the picks, and the sarcasm was that there is NOTHING that will be done, in my opinion, during FA, because typically SA doesnt make too many moves. I apologize if your anger about the pick grade let your comprehension slip. I find it amusing that you think so highly of my post that you continue reading, checking in on it, and responding to it. All you have to do is put your grade for the draft and why; just like the others who have high self-esteem.
Im in a win-win spot, if Anderson is a bust then I told you so, if he's a superstar then my team wins. We've yet to hear your impression. Although I would say it's something like, "although I never watched UCLA play this year, I checked the stat sheet, and can say out of all the other players SA could have drafted that I didnt watch, he is the best. A+ to the Spurs again..... And of course, that's fine too.
looking forward to more and multiple angry posts.
You are the anti-spur, meaning low IQ. Getting nothing in the 2nd round. What's funny, is that according ESPN last night, Green and Mills were two of the top 4 2nd round picks of the last 5 years and the Spurs poached them off of other teams. They can and will do so again.
Manu is the only 2nd round pick of the Spurs that ever amounted to anything significant. You basing a draft grade on 2nd round picks is just laughable.
I didnt base a draft grade on a 2nd round pick. I based leaving 2 draft picks on the table, thinking about what we were bringing to Summer and working out for HALF the draft grade. I give the Spurs a low B for Anderson and an F for 2nd round. I think it was a below average draft.
You're point is kind of bad though. I think the most SPUR guy out there was Aaron Craft. We didnt draft him, is that an issue for you?
You just proved my point. You're equating 2nd round picks,two of the last three to be exact, to be the equivalent of a 1st round pick. Guys like Mills, Manu, Gasol, Hornacek, Green, guys that are drafted after the 45th pick rarely make it in the league or have any significant contribution. The needs for the Spurs you've expressed are the reason the NBA gives teams the MLE and BAE.
Look for the Spurs to scout other teams castaways and develop into solid contributors in the near future.
He's young player, with excellent skill sets that provide flexibility on the floor. He needs to work with the spurs staff with his strength and conditioning and curious to see after summer league what the shooting coach goes about with making changes to his release an form.
Overall I like the pick at 30. Foreign 2nd round pick typical status quo. Overseas prospect that can be watched from afar. With the current roster and space these picks are pretty decent. Already have various talent coming into summer league an a large sum of undrafted players to take a look at for consideration for preseason.
I'm just waiting for free agency to have our 2 primary free agents returning with fair contracts hopefully and watching the rest of the league and see how borderline playoff contenders improve their roster in contrast to how the spurs can play against them as well as perrenial le contenders bringing in free agents to combat glaring holes with rosters an rotations.
