So who are we drafting?

[rasuo214]

WHat about this other midget?

Can either play defense? Don't need another short pg who is a defensive liability.

[buttsR4rebounding]

Any 6' 9'' guys that can dribble? A SF that can play the PF position, but that can dribble the ball. Attack the basket in transition. Any of those guys in our range?

I think that's what I would get.

Sounds a lot like Kyle Anderson.

We'll he can't attack the basket. Too slow. He doesn't make the defense sotate over and he is a zero on offense. Nothing like fathead.

[Strategic]

Jarrett Allen

[raybies]

Kadeem Allen. Reminds me of another Allen, Tony that is. This guy can defend man. He's like 6'1'' without shoes but has a 6'9'' wingspan. He has the length, toughness, and strength to play like 1-3. He's 24 so he could be ready to contribute right away. Has a great story too. Came out of Juco, had to work for everything he got. of a defender. I'd take him if he's still on the board at 59.

Do you not see the difference between your quotes? Fathead does dribble well. He does play the 4. He does attack the basket in transition. It seems that you can't make up your mind as to what you want.

Fathead is a zero on my offense.

[spurraider21]

Shot blocker and rim protector is an absolute hole on this team that has to be filled if we are going to be a serious team.

Don't know if that's available late first, but it's what we need most.

yep. basically someone who can do dedmon things

[Raven]

This is the deepest draft in a few years. There's still going to be quality talent on the board at 29. Hopefully Spurs don't blow it. Lots of big man depth and some quality PG's too. Wish we had an early 2nd round pick too tbh.

is that so? i struggle to find any potential in this draft.. just the fact that players like ball and monk are sure fire lottery picks to me is telling..

A big. There's a glut of talented but raw big men in this draft, and with Dedmon likely to walk the Spurs will need an athletic front court player to replace him with.

That's exactly what I want us to draft.

I like the idea of trading LMA, Danny Green, KA, and the 29th pick to Orlando for picks 6, 33, 35 and Mario Herzonja.

Draft

6. Johnathon Isaac 6'10" SF/PF- a Durant lite type player. Great length too

33. Josh Hart 6'5" PG/SG- this year's Brogdon.

35. Devin Robinson 6'8" SF- long athletic kid. Good shot. Can play the 2,3,or 4.

59. Alpha Kaba 6'10" PF/C- can shoot. Has a great wing span.

PG- Murray, Hart, Forbes, (Parker)
SG- Herzonja, Simmons, Robinson
SF- Leonard, Hanga, Robinson
PF- Isaac, Bertans, LJC
C - Gasol, Milutinov, Kaba

No good bigs at #29.

The only good bigs are Zach Collins and Jarrett Allen -- both gone long before the Spurs pick.

So you want to go into the season with seven new players? Eight if you Count LJC? Seems like a good plan...

That's a lot of change...at any rate, I don't think Orlando gives up the 6th in a lma trade...but I'd dangle KA out there for either those two 2nd rd picks or Mario....prefereably the picks..

No you're right. Let's just bring everyone back. We can win 50 games and get spot or lose in 5 to the Warriors.

The draft hasn't happened yet. That is to say, there are always "reach" picks and the Spurs usually reap the benefit of players falling to a place most say they shouldn't.

I'd also disagree that there are only two good bigs in this draft. No big man, those two you mention included, is a sure thing. All of them have flaws or need more tape.

At 29, they should have a good shot at a number of bigs with varying skill sets. There are nine with PF or C designations within 5 spots of 29 in the DX Top 100. They are...

Tyler Lydon
TJ Leaf
Ivan Rabb
Semi Ojeleye
DJ Wilson
Anzejs Pasecniks
Jordan Bell
Caleb Swanigan
Harry Giles

Just outside of that range are also Alec Peters, Jonathan Motley, Bam Adebayo, Mathias Lassort, Thomas Bryant and Tony Bradley.

None of them are complete players by any stretch, but they all have role player qualities. And that's what you're realistically looking for at 29.

[Play Boban]

But but we got Manu at pick 58.
