Weatherspoon's wingspan is 6'9". He's a combo guard who can slide over to SG. Q is one of our best defenders.
Jones seems like a pretty complete player. Wonder why he didn't go higher?
Weatherspoon could be out of the rotation. Just wish we could get rid of Murray...

DeRozan will definitely play PF by design. That's going to happen anyway. Johnson will too. Murray and White will start, and Mills and Walker will back them up. I don't love that development, but that's what we're stuck with if the team insists on kowtowing to Murray. I fully expect Jones to play a good number of games this year. I think Quinn will be on the team too, but I doubt he'll be about Jones in the pecking order.
And lord, we are all just going to pretend like Bryn is not coming back. We don't need that bad juju going through this site.
Not that it really matters lol but Tre Jones made Cole Anthony his Beotch last season lol
I think the CoJo comparisons are fair but we are talking 4 year CoJo. Tre comes in at that level.
He will push guys in practice and think he had a good chance to earn minutes initially if not for a truncated training camp.
Spurs can run some very interesting defensive lineups and hope they experiment with such.
They can essentially run a box and 1 situationally, and variations of 2-3 and 3-2 zones if Poetl returns.
Jones is a shrewd pick. His brother doesn't set the world on fire, but is a plus player who can run a team and hold his own. Seems like the Spurs grabbed a late first round talent for a second rounder, not to mention one that can run a team and most especially play defense.
Except for rebounding, he's already as good as Murray, I bet. (You know, if he can dribble and run a team) . Just give him time to get acclimated.
Yeah I was wondering why the POY and DPOY in the ACC was chosen as #41 in the draft. There's only 10 conferences and he had the rare accomplishment of getting both awards. Doubt that has happened often.
He's not a good shooter in a league that needs good shooters.
So as a 2nd round pick will he get a 2 way contract? Or something else. Don't 2nd rounders with unusual potential sometimes get relatively big contracts? (I vaguely remember Blair getting something relatively large. Maybe I'm wrong.)
There are only two players who won ACC player of the year and Defensive player of the year in the same season, him and Brogdon. Future rookie of the year.
If continuing to start Murray ups his trade value, then I'm okay with it short term. But eventually you got to bench him or move him.
I assume its a two-way with Eubanks taking an actual roster spot, assuming he is re-signed.
i hope this clown pushe mills out of the rotation and steals murrays starting job...
Didn't expect a PG being drafted at 41, but looking back at it, it does make sense. Jones seems like an NBA player, perhaps not a great or a good one, but a decent backup PG who'll be in the league for a long time. It'll be interesting to see whether they give him the two-way or sign him to a guaranteed contract right away.
Reminds me of Monte Morris. He knows how to play.

I wouldn't assume that second-rounder will usually get two-way deals. I think SA drafted Weatherspoon specifically because he was willing to do that. But I think Jones fell to them and didn't sign on to something like that. I agree that he might get a Metu-like deal.
I feel like we always use the 2nd round I feel like to take high upside players who rarely pan out (on average, I know we've had some major hits through the years duh.) But it's nice to see we finally took a low ceiling high floor guy for once. Patty Mills was a second round pick, really good NBA player. Idk if Tre will ever be a great shooter, but a good defensive backup PG that can run the floor is valuable and something we really don't have as far as a 3rd PG goes.
Also I don't think any of our PGs are TRUE PGs. Tre is a true PG. He's what you want eventually running your bench unit.
I don't believe the Spurs typically go for upside in the second round. I'd only classify Metu as that out of the picks in the last decade at least.
Both draft picks will pretty much live in G League.
Is there going to be a G league this year?
There doing to try and do some bubble tournaments. I think it'll be a shorter season
I expect vessel to be with the team unless the g league has games to play
great pick for a 41th but theres no minutes in a recent roster for him... so basically he was drafted by austin spurs + he dropped 20 spots vs mock draft. not a good day for him
Well DWhite and Dejounte have missed sometime with injuries in their career so he potentially could get some minutes and I still think spurs move Patty mills at some point
Note that DPOY for the ACC started in 2005.
Before that time, ACC PoY that won National DPoY, 1986-2005:
Grant Hill, Tim Duncan and Shane Battier.
