2nd Round Pick: Calling My Shot

[Russ]

I'd love to see Leon Powe slide to the Spurs at 59.

But my wild guess for the Spurs at that slot is Marcus "Marquinhos" Vinicius Vieira de Souza.

[wildbill2u]

With the 59th pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs select Jose Juan Barea from Northeastern.


Jose Juan Barea at 59.

Unless you're cheatin' with some kind of inside info from Pop's wife or the FO, that stuff you're smokin' must be primo.

No midgets please--even at 59, let's not be laughingstocks.

Well, it appears now that we're taking Kyle Lowry.

I don't think this guy is obscure enough for the Spurs to pick.

That was my thought, too.

It would be an almost uncomfortable break with tradition if we didn't all go "WTF?" immediately after the Spurs pick was announced, only to get crazy giddy about 30 seconds later at the thought that Presti might have uncovered another gem.

I got semi good news for you according to the latest mock draft from Draft Express Powe is who we are taking: http://www.draftexpress.com/mock.php?y=2006

Of course it's semi good because mock drafts are rarely accurate and just guesses especially at the end of the 2nd round where so many possible/potential scenarios can be worked out.

EDIT: That site changed again, they had us taking Powe at 59 now its Millsap. It'll probably change again by tonight.

Barring any trade scenarios, there's a high probably that:
95% of the posters here will have that "let-down" feeling after the draft ends tomorrow.

4% of the posters here will convince themselves, then try to convince others, that they actually know something about the Spurs' 2nd round pick.

1% of the posters here will give the Spurs an "F" grade in a supreme "failure to launch" by Pop, RC and Sam.

100% chance that Sequ posts "(Draft Pick Name Here) Sucks".

Eric Hicks is the next next Malik Rose.

[T Park]

except Hicks is like 7 feet and went to UCLA, so that eliminates him being a decent big.

All true, except he's 6'5.5" and went to Cincinnati.

I think the Spurs are looking at him, however I believe they will need to move up, I doubt he will still be around at 59.

My guess is Damir Markota.

[timvp]

In Chad Ford's final mock draft he has the Spurs picking Jose Juan Barea.

[Bruno]

And Draftexpress has us taking Paul Millsap. I easily take him for the min over Reggie Evans for $3M.

[ChumpDumper]

eh, Milsap or Hicks or Slaughter if we stay at #59. No PGs unless they can shoot.

[Horry For 3!]

Not Jose Juan Barea He is a lil

[Horry For 3!]

except Hicks is like 7 feet and went to UCLA, so that eliminates him being a decent big.

You mean Ryan Hollins is 7' and went to UCLA

[T Park]

I got Hicks and Hollins confused.

I apologize....

Okay....so now that the draft is over, how close was I to truth?
