    Vasquez, Blair, Manu 2nd unit would be absolutely intense... Vasquez brings a lot of passion and energy.

    BUT!... I'd have to agree with previous posters, I dont think his game transfers real well to the NBA. 2nd unit scorer... maybe.

    http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2010/

    Take it for its worth, the 2010 mock draft by draftexpress. A bunch of forwards, many tweener 3/4s, a few guards and a few Cs. So the guards are a rarity here. The top 17 mock picks with the exception of John Wall and Evan Turner are bigs.

    I am pretty intrigued by Fresno's State's Paul George. He has the length, athletic ability, to be a pretty good small forward in the league. He has at least NCAA 3 point range to be somewhat of a threat with that high release. He just needs to put on some muscle. He is about the pick where the Spurs are picking. And he has shooter's touch. 90.1% from the free throw line is remarkable. you don't even see that in the NBA a lot. Plus the 3 point range. I am drooling right now.

    W/ Bonner as a FA, Spurs may just screw up and get Luke Babbitt instead

    AHHHHHH, such bittersweet memories. Remember what some Boston sportwriter said about the Spurs drafting our boy, Alfrederick The Great Hughes back then? Someone down there(meaning the Spurs Brass) must of ed their nachos.
    Damn! @%*$

    I completely forgot about that comment. Turns out they were right.

    Remember Alfredrick's famous comment to the media, once he got drafted by the Spurs? "I'll post up anybody, I don't care who it is."

    Yeah that guy at Wake Forrest who stayed 4 years from 93-97 turned out to be a bust in the NBA.

    Tim decided to stay in WF for the whole four years, he would be the No.1 pick in 96 as well. This guy, however, wanted to enter NBA but had to get back to college. See the GIANT gap!?

    Of course it is. I'm not saying the Spurs should use their first round pick on Vasquez. I'm simply pointing out that athleticism doesn't always trump everything else. In Mahinimi the Spurs drafted a project with incredible athleticism and passed on an average (at best) athlete who is now an All-Star averaging 20 and 12.
    Mahinmi could easily be hitting those numbers in Noo Yawk with the proper minutes and a team that stresses offense over defense. :p

    Just saw this guy for the first time today vs Duke. I immediately hated him. At some point the line of 'firey emotional leader' ends and the line of 'loud obnoxious attention bag' begins

    Like Bruce Bowen, like Manu, you love him if he is on your team, and hate him if he is playing against your team.

    Yeah, he is y, but he backs it up on the floor....so I am good with it. You can not judge some player that you've never seen before on one night....

    What a total moron. Vasquez played 34 of the 40 minutes. They were down 2 points when he reentered the game at the 8 minute mark, and they won by 7 points, after Vasquez scored 11 points in last 7:43 of the game.

    Keep posting inanities, I've never seen you before in here, but you are entertaining, because I get a good laugh .

    The real question is, should the Spurs trade up or down to get the player they want.

    I am thinking this guy as well. He plays near the basket so he needs to develop a respectable jump shot to be useful to the Spurs. He seems to be under the radar. I don't think there is a doubt that he is physically talented.

    I like him, but not as much as Paul George I think.I don't think his ceiling is as high, but I may be wrong ive only seen him play once. Chief Lion what do you think of Eliot Williams?

    Williams is the southpaw from Memphis, right? I have been paying attention to mostly forwards, I have been asking about the guards. There aren't any notable videos I can find of him too.

    Oh, by the way, for those of you who want to watch Paul George play, he is playing 4th March, 10.00 PM. Fresno State has been getting their ass kicked recently too. I also think losing may have made Willie Warren's draft stock drop. I think Warren is really good. He has a good first step, and his size allows him to be explosive enough and finish with contact. Warren plays the same position as Williams and is 20 lbs heavier.

    And according to the draftexpress mock draft, Willie Warren is now our pick.

    Thanks for the programming note Chief. I DO want to see this kid George play.

    Well, actually he's going to be a great nba player! Reason being is that the guy from Wake who stayed all 4 years was a great nba player too.

    He totally would've been a top 10 draft pick last year if he decided to leave then.

    I wasn't talking about his gameplay. Bruce and Manu never pull that chest beating gesturing to the crowd bull like a kevin garnett would.

    I have this Fresno game all cued up ready to start. It's a low res internet feed but I'm gonna watch this sop re Paul George i like what i saw in your youtube video.

    a few notes: looks like he went from 185 lbs up to 210 this year .

    Also, all stats across the board are up from Frosh including 3P which is about 36.5.

    I am liking how he doesn't seem to force a thing. The scoreboard is not getting updated. Damn, I think he turned the ball over twice already.

    Update: As expected, he is too three point happy, his handles are a little weak.

    Yeah but he poked the ball away from his man the next play and forced a hurried fade away to avoid shot clock violation that led to a turnover. There's potential, as senor spur deftly noted he needs work on his handles

    edit: another hustle play chasing down a loose ball. Also stopped a fastbreak effectively cutting off the dribbler's angles and forcing him into two bigs who had time to recover to the defensive end b/c of the slowed break

    Did he just get taken out of the game? He knows where he needs to be on the court on defense and offense, which is good. But the level of compe ion is low.
