Spurs Draft Discussion: 2019 NBA Draft

[rasuo214]

Lakers @ #4? How?

At least it wasn't a top 3 pick so they'll miss out on Zion, Morant and RJ.

Are we surprised they "fell" into the top 5 tbh

[bluebellmaniac]

DDR for the #4 pick...

[Nathan89]

Damnit just found out Spurs stayed in the 19th position.

[Ron Swanson]

DDR for the #4 pick...

So we have to hope for the Knicks to win the draft lottery, right? That should improve the chances of the Knicks drawing a few superstars to the East (Durant, especially).

Worst case scenario is Zion ending up in the West.

Yeah, so of course three of the top four picks are going West

[TDMVPDPOY]

always the same teams getting lottery picks in consecutive y ears, they should do something about repeat tankers

[cutewizard]

Spurs should tank too

[kobyz]

I just heard a rumour from reliable source that the Spurs planning to use the #49 pick on Yovel Zosman and stash him..

[Twisted_Dawg]

But it's only for 4 years, until the networks, Nike, and the league powers get Zion moved back east to NY. Look for Zion to announce in the middle of his fourth year that he is not signing an extension with NOLA.

Does he have potential?

[kobyz]

Does he have potential?

His potential is poor man Sean Battier or a Joe Ingles with better defense, less court vision...

[look_at_g_shred]

Yeah, so of course three of the top four picks are going West

With the top 2 picks going to our division..not to mention already having luca in it too

I’m a little skeptical on how good Zion could be, I think the media is hyping him up to much lol he’s a freak athlete but all I see is a Julius randle Clone

Julius Randle, once he escaped LA, was pretty damn good.

You people still think this is the 90s. There are no instant franchise players in the draft anymore. LeBron was the last one, and that was 2003. It's all about development, and that can be done with #1 overall or #15. You still have to draft the BPA, though, and that's Zion.

euro scouts have a good opinion of him.

he is more complete than randle imo, can drive at ease, made some defensive plays, only his shot is a work in progress.

im not saying randle isn’t a good player, but I see people acting like zion is the next Lebron. If he ends up like randle or better great! But you could say he has some josh smith in his game too lol which isn’t very appealing for a #1 pick

I expect Williamson to be along the lines of Charles Barkley with better defense.

How does this source know? Connected to the Spurs' organization?

JJJ

That would be a pretty damn high ceiling. I think he does need to drop some weight, though, or it will shorten his career due to excess stress on muscles and ligaments. 285 lbs is far too heavy for someone 6'7".

285 was what Barkley came into the league at minus the muscle. Lol

Barkley's career was shortened by that, compared to other more normally proportioned big men. He played 16 years, but his last four were 53,68,42,20 games. He literally fell apart physically, right in front of our eyes.
