Exactly where he was last season...
the Pre-Draft Camp is on NBATV right now
Exactly where he was last season...
if Richards had missed an entire season with shoulder surgeries, then he would have gone undrafted.
I know that supposedly the surgeries weren't mandatory but suggested to get done sooner rather than later from the Spurs, but they could have been aggravated had he continued to play necessitating surgery anyway.
Is there any one source for these dates, or do you have to scour the internet for them?
I think they use #29 and trade #58

These come for various sources even if a lot of them comes from http://thehoopsreport.com/workouts.a...=San%20Antonio
You can find the exact source in the player's thread.
NBA Draft Combine is on ESPNU right now
Chris_Broussard Chris Broussard
Cavs, Pistons, Twolves discussing 3-team trade that would give Cavs 1st & 2nd picks, sources say.
Chris_Broussard Chris Broussard
Cavs absorb Rip Hamilton into 14.6 mill trade exception & get Det's 8th pick. Cavs send 4th & 8th picks to Minny for 2nd pick
Chris_Broussard Chris Broussard
Cavs would then draft Kyrie No. 1 and Derrick Williams No. 2. Nothing imminent but trade us being discussed by the teams.
If this trade goes down, Minny will have #4, #8 and #20 in the draft. It's unlikely they keep all three picks. Latest DX mock draft has Chris Singleton at #20.
Just saying...
Imsixeleven Matthew Rogers
I'm all amped up from my workout, Bulls, Spurs, Hawks, here I come!!! God's about to use me to break the norm!!!
26 May
not big news but someone to add to list of workouts
Matt rogers isn't draft eligible. He is a vet FA. Other players (Leo Lyons, Lance Thomas, Ryan Thompson..) in his case have also worked out for Spurs.
To me, if he is still there, I'd say just grab Lucas Nogueira.
latest hoopsworld mock draft

My sense is they go Harper over Johnson, if they're both on the board at 29. They're both Spurs material. Harper has more range, a better handle and is stronger. Johnson is more athletic and a better shot blocker. But they've never prioritized either of those two things, so there's no reason to think they will now.
Of course, like Anderson last season, if someone ranked higher, such as Vucevic, is available at 29 (which I can't see happening), then I think that changes everything. But short of that, I'm as convinced they'll draft Harper as I was they'd draft Williams last year.
Unfortunately, none of these are qualities the Spurs have shied away from in recent years, so there's no reason to think they will now.
Harper is the type they're seemingly looking for. 6-9, can shoot, pass and is an average athlete by NBA standards (which on this team, would make him above average). They'll probably think they can turn him into a competent defender/rebounder. He's also seemingly capable of playing some immediately and of being a potential long term replacement for Bonner.
At 59, I suspect they draft whatever PG is leftover or trade up into the 40s to select either McCamey or Goudelock.
If they do this and maybe sign Richards, on sheer numbers alone, they wouldn't have to make another move. Hopefully they do though.
I go get Tyler at 29 if he's there - physically he has all the tools - and is a true C - so if Richards develops into starter down the road - Tyler can play next to him unlike alot of the bigs in this draft - of course if a Vucevic is available would be hard to pass on (although I think Tyler will be better NBA player albeit 3-5 years from now)
If the Spurs want to try and improve this team now then the best move is a trade on draft day - otherwise I would go for upside/potential
Lots of guys in 2nd round that could make since from the PGs mentioned above, to a Jimmy Butler (texas native and no one will out work the guy), even a John Leuer would be a good pick if it was followed by moving Bonner
Tyler is immature. Pass.
latest mock draft on draft express has the spurs picking davis bertans(SF)

My top 5 current big men who may still be around and fits the roster the best for the coming season in my opinion:
1. Vucevic
2. Thompkins
3. J. Johnson
4. J. Williams
5. Benson

I do not mind Vucevic, Johnson or Nogueira. I just do not want Tyler.
Ya, I agree with you..I forgot about about jordan williams so I bumped tyler to make room. Didn't put any euro's on my list but would not mind Nogueira either.
35 players have worked out with Spurs with some of them having two workouts. At that 35 players, you must add players whose workout hasn't been reported and players who will work in the 3 remaining weeks before the draft.
There is an obvious observation to make: Spurs are very active and look in depth at draft prospects this year.
Some conclusions can be drawn from that activity:
- These workouts cost some money. Sometimes teams reduce them for financial reasons. It's always good to know that Spurs aren't in that situation.
- Spurs aren't in the mindset of trading their pick. If they like nobody at #29 of if they get a great offer for it, they might trade it but it isn't their first option.
- This draft is described as a bad one. If Spurs want additional picks, it should be easier than usual to get them.
