Damir Markota is a SPUR!

Can post up

but at least ian was 18 when drafted, this dude is 21 already, we'll probably bring him over when he's a year away from retirement..........damn the really need to stop wasting picks like this, the had success once with this crap and that was manu, they act like they can repeat it everytime

How many #59s even make the league?

[Russ]

I'm a little suprised that Pittsnogle went unpicked. He's pretty slow, but I figured his size and shooting would get him drafted for sure. I hope the Kings consider picking him up.

More surprised Gansey wasn't picked. I watched him single-handedly beat UCLA at Pauley Pavillion.

@ someone ing about this pick.

[Spurologist]

A big without YOUTUBE video is a big concern for me. You have to be there for at least on video. Dude's agent needs to be fired

[ashbeeigh]

Did that one go in?

but at least take a damn american every now and then, they've at least proven they can play american ball

I found him on youtube. Not just highlights of him though, but of his team.

College ball. I repeat my question. Include only damn Americans.

No American would listen to Pop's bull rants.

Spurs had to restock the farm team with Javtokas coming over and Scola perhaps on the move.

[itzsoweezee]

other than the fact Pittsnogle sucks....

at least pittsnogle has played against real players, not some losers in europe. you know what pittsnogle is capable of.

i guarantee this scrub never plays in the nba.

Obviously, it's tough to get a quality impact player at that pick, but why the can't they ever draft someone is somewhat ready to contribute now?

Group A
Romain Sato
Chris Carawell
Bryan Bracey

Group B
Gordon Giricek
Manu Ginobili
Robertus Javtokas
Luis Scola
Sergei Karaulov
Viktor Sanikidze


Group A are the second round college players drafted by SA in the Duncan era. Sato stuck on the roster/IR for one year. Carawell and Bracey never made the team.

Group B are the second round foreigners drafted in the Duncan era. Ginobili is an All Star, and Giricek an established NBA player. All indications are that Javtokas will be in the NBA next year and Scola either next year or the year after. The jury is still out on Karaulov and Sanikidze.

If Javtokas and Scola both make the league, that's a 66% hit rate.

Do you really think they just draft foreigners for kicks? Should they just draft someone you've heard of to make you happy?

he's on here at the 13 sec on a nice pick and roll

[SPARKY]

Manu played in Europe. What happened?

[SPARKY]

Spurs fans ing about drafting international players is like Heat fans ing about the Shaq trade.

[TDMVPDPOY]

NEGATIVE about him is that he looks like that guy who stars as malcom in the middle

[SequSpur]

Exstatic, those foreigners aren't playing in the NBA. Giricek wouldn't foul Nowitski in a Game 7 up by 3 with seconds left.

Giricek > Ginobili.

[SPARKY]

Awesome. I was just wondering if he might join the team in a couple of years.

Yeah, that's what it's like. Great analogy.

[SPARKY]

Please pay attention to me.

Giricek > Ginobili.

You're right. Because he'd be on the bench hitting your wife.

[SequSpur]

Spurs fans ing about drafting international players is like Heat fans ing about the Shaq trade.

Recently, the Spurs foreigners have played soft, made mistakes and let the opposition run layup drills on a historically built foundation.

It's time for an American Revolution in San Antonio.

Look at my new one.
