What do you guys think of drafting Brad Newley with the 58?
I take Belinelli in a heartbeat with the 33. But I have absolutely no interest in Gray unless we're taking him at 58...or lower. I just don't see any need for another slow dreadnaught center.

I don't really care who we draft at the 58 since we really won't see what they're made of until after a year in the Euroleague.
I don't think Spurs will draft a big man this year (unless it's an euro who stay overseas).
Just look at next year Spurs big men :
Duncan : under contract.
Elson : under contract.
Butler : under contract.
Horry : under contract and won't retire.
Oberto : player option, it's not sure he will opt out and if he opts out, he will be a restricted free agent. Pop likes him.
Bonner : restricted free agent. Pop and PJ want him back, Bonner thinks he has good chances to sign with Spurs.
Mahinmi : Ludden has said that he will likely sign with Spurs this summer.
Scola : Spurs have said that they will consider him as an option this summer.
Based on infos (and not on speculations), 8 PF/C could be on Spurs roster next year
A nba team has usualy 6 PF/C under contract and 5 on the active roster.
Since Presti has signed on with Seattle they've arranged to bring in Glen Davis, Kyle Visser, Kyrylo Fesenko, Dmetrius Nichols, Adam Haluska and Quinton Hosley for workout. Some of these guys would be in the Spurs' first and second and Seattle's 2nd round pick range.
I don't want Bonner back, and I doubt Scola becomes a Spur EVER, and I think we will sign Mahinmi. So the frontline for me will look like:
C OBERTO/ELSON/BUTLER
PF DUNCAN/HORRY/MAHINMI
With the #28 and #33 picks the Spurs have a good chance of landing a couple of eventual rotation players, especially in this draft. It would be disappointing if they didn't use both and perplexing if they didn't use the #33 on a NCAA prospect.
The only one I think the Spurs will consider is Visser.
No pun intented, but what Pop/PJ want will have a bigger influence on what Spurs will do than what #1elliottfan want.
So are we getting the 2nd rounder from Chicago (#53, I believe) or not??
Nope.
Why not? I thought it was supposed to be ours if its not in the top 51.
Top 53 protected. We missed it by one spot.
Top 53 protected? On the first page it says top 51 protected, when did this change?
spurs need to keep stock piling talent in EUROPE
Scola is ready to go, so is Roberthas, Center, he is a monster (SP)
Dont waste picks like L. Barbosa just because we have no space or otehrs dont like him on the team like how we lost Gricek, I believe.
Spurs have tons of talent in Europe and I love that.
Re: US talent
I see UCLA Aaron Affolo alot, even play pickup ball at UCLA John Wooden Center with him when he comes and runs.
He is TOTAL spurs mentality. Nice, class act, friendly, coachable.
He is alot like a young Michael Finley, not just because they both wear #4.
He can be good but is streaky. Like a Dale Ellis.
Affolo does take some bad shots though, even at the pickup gym w hacks like me, lol
I think this is a solid pick but I really want the spurs to keep drafting 17 yo in Europe and leaving them to develop over there.

I see Afflalo being the next JJ Re . Great in college, sub-par in the pros. Now, to his credit, I don't see Aaron disappearing so completely as Re did last year, but I think he will not be nearly as succesful at the pro level as he was college.
Apparently that fact was misreported for most of the year. We all thought it was top 51 protected until right near the end of the season conflicting reports indicated otherwise.
The Spurs are really closed about what all is exchanged in trades other than the specific players and I believe that tidbit was just skewed from the beginning.
my spurs mock draft:
28: Kyrylo Fesenko
33: Taurean Green
58: Ali Traore
My mock draft:
28: Marco Belinelli
33: Zabian Dowdell
58: Darryl Watkins
Everything will come clearer in a 12 days.
A really ing long time ago.
Green and Traore won't be available at 33 and 58
yea I agree to an extent, but he has the nba body for a 2 guard.
Green should be
I think the current DX mock draft just assigns players according to the DX ranking of their talent rather than accommodating team needs which is where the real draft decisions are made.
I wish they'd start using the 'team needs' approach so we'd see where these players are really likely to go.
