Best shooter available. Easy
I think we (and most mocks) are sleeping on Bogoljub Markovic. He could be stashed in Europe for a year or two and work on his major flaw, that means adding strenght. he is a good shooter with a super high arch and he can play the game the right way, he can move well and pass.
Best shooter available. Easy
Wow. Very interesting player. I like it as a possible pick.
Looks like he got to learn from Kenneth Faried (I forgot about this guy. I used to like him when he was on the Nuggets) last season.
He's my guy for 38 if they don't trade the pick. I fear he's going to go higher after the measurements - 7 feet in shoes, came at 215, bigger than expected. He moves very well for his size, can handle a little bit and of course his shooting is legit. The only fear is what his true position will be in the NBA.
Since we're probably taking the #2 but possibly trading the #14 and a player or players, I really think we should keep the #38 pick. That being said, I'd love to take a big at that spot, but most good bigs will probably have been taken already. That leaves a few somewhat raw, development type players which will probably be G-Leaguers for a few years. At that point I'd just select the best player available, even if its not necessarily a big.
Alex Toohey SF He is a big small forward and looked real good at the combine ; has played professionally in Australia
Johni Broome PF/C He plays an old school game defensively, but he may drop a bit since he didn't do all that well in the combine. Played well in the NCAA tournament.
Drake Powell SG Does a bit of everything, but I think he goes higher than 38 because of his overall skills
Eric Dixon PF A big talented husky guy who can push other PF's around plus he can shoot. He is a bit slow though. I think he could stay healthier than our current guys which makes his a value at 38.
Don't sleep on James Flight White!
Micah Peavy a player that has a confirmed workout with the Spurs is a strong candidate for this pick. Led the Big east in steals and minutes played. Averaged 17 ppg with 40% 3-pt percentage on 4 attempts per game. Is also one of the best on ball defenders in this class. I would say top 5 on ball perimeter defense. When Peavy and Sorber were on the floor together Georgetown had the best defensive rating in College Basketball.
The best strategy for the 38 pick is to get on the phones and move up in the draft offering up additional 2nd's to get the player they want.
Also we have 9 EXTRA SRPs over the next 6 drafts from 2026-2031. A number of the terms are so complex who could keep track of it all. We need to be consolidating those into better picks and player trade throw ins and what not.
Trading up of course is a great option, not sure how realistic though. Ultimately I just think it will be really interesting to see how much ac ulating a Guinness Book world record of SRPs ends up benefitting us or not.

Good night, sweet prince
This pick was always getting traded after Spurs decided to keep 2 and 14, but they should have waited until tomorrow to see if someone overpays for a player dropping down. Don't make a decision before you have to.
Not like getting an additional 2nd or a bit more cash would have been too significant in the grand scheme of things, but it's about the decision making process. NO made a similar decision, albeit much more significant, to return Indiana their '26 pick a couple of days before Haliburton tore his achilles, when they clearly should have waited until draft night to finalize it.
On the bright side, we won't need to sit through that horrible second day of the draft. Reverse it to a single day draft Silver, ffs.
^ Exactly this
if we still had 38 and i knew Fleming was still on the board I’d be going nuts with anticipation
I kinda wonder if the Spurs sort of owed one to Indiana, like there was an overpay in a SRP for McBuckets and the Spurs was supposed to eventually even the scale. Dunno. I know these teams have good relationships and these relationships are ongoing, so this may have been part of a longer series of moves in smaller ways.
The 38 always seemed a little too low to get a useful player but acquiring any of pick 31 to 33 seems like a decent option if improbable. Kalk, Fleming, Reynaud guaranteed at 31-33.
Trading the pick wasn’t surprising in the least. But trading it before Nosferatu could even announce Flagg’s name makes zero sense
Yeah if they want Reynaud they need to get 33 or 34 from charlotte. Charlotte won’t want another second this year so we can use that future second to score this pick if we want. 2 or 3 future seconds of which this is one plus the cash we just got ought to do it. I could see them nabbing one of these centers they really like maybe.
Fleming isn't going to last to 38. Try to get him wth three seconds but if not.
Would it be stupid to offer a lottery protected first for Fleming?
yes it would.
going rate for a second usually is 2 seconds, or a second plus cash
So... Brian Wright said the Spurs actually tried to trade up to get Carter Bryant. It all worked out in the end, but you know what probably would have been helpful in trying to trade up? The #38 pick. Just weird.
Yeah I hate how we’ve devalued 2nds as an organization
Spurs got Kings 2030 second round pick for #38. It's a fine return given Kings situation (even if it will change in the next 5 years).
There are 4 players left that can help Spurs: Raynaud, Fleming, Penda and Kalkbrenner.
Spurs could package 2 or 3 future second round picks to get one of them with a very early second round pick.
Will they do it and have 3 rookies next season? Likely no, but we'll see..
Gotta figure one of those CHA picks is available for the taking. Certainly they don't want to take 4 rookies in this draft.
it would be a no brainer trying to get fleming in the second round.Especially if we arent bringing mamu,bassey
or biyombo back.
