Did the Spurs just select this kid with the #12th pick because it holds special value to him?

I hope this is Buford's pick and not Wright's. Come on summer league . Anxious to see him play.
Well, he does have a great name.
Where's Tre Jones?
timvp How much has your faith in this FO been shaken? They are absolutely atrocious at asset management. They have shown absolutely no creativity at all.
They traded for vets instead of going young. Then they held onto DDR/Rudy until they had no value just to lose them for nothing vs setup their future better. Then they reach and dont trade back to get additional assets.
I have lost all faith in this FO ability to do anything outside the box or via trade/FA and now the draft takes a hit.
This kid could be MVP of the NBA and it still doesn’t change the fact that they were so wasteful with this pick and nuked their lottery pick value.
Primo won't be in the rotation for about 2 years. He is 18 years old. They obviously know he won't be ready.
the thing is you and the Spurs may be spot on but he undoubtedly would have fallen to the late first round at minimum.
thus you take a Sengun or a Moses then take a bad contract from somebody in the bottom half of the first and trade them our 2nd rd pick (41) and you pick up both.
or trade back. pick up a future first or more second rounders and a player that can help.
would have been able to still get someone at 25 that you just got at 12.
this just doesn't make sense and that's in no way a slight on primo.
this is just stunning.
Pop going with the first all-guard lineup in NBA history, apparently.
5 questions
Is this pick for real ?
Did some 10 year old in New Jersey hijack the nba computers and make the pick for us ?
Are we really aiming for next years number 1 pick ?
Will any free agents want to come here when they see how our front office drafts ?
Can our second round pick be better than our 1st round pick .... I don't know about this front office any more.
There's a reason Brian Wright was let go by the Pistons. There's also a reason Pop picked him up, and it wasn't for his eye for talent or running a front office. Just another disgusting effort by this clown front office.
Time
To start think in accountability? Hopefully we’re proven wrong
Louis (Josh) Prima (Primo) sings it for Spurs fans -- "I Ain't Got Nobody"
I hate to say it but this pick literally makes no ing sense
This is a galaxy brain move to be honest. Primo now knows that the org believes in him. Just from this fact, his skill is gonna increase by 50% overnight.
Had he been drafted at let's say 25-35 by trading down, this kid's confidence will be shot. He may end up like Fultz with the yips.
Maybe they picked Primo because they know there's no way any team will demand him in a trade at this point.
It's a good pick generally. He's a little baby and has a lot of room to develop, but there will always be a mystery of why they didn't trade down. Maybe they thought someone like Indiana or OKC would take him? Dunno.
This is a disaster.
Time to face the music this FO is clueless
Well, this settles the BPA vs Position of Need debate. Apparently, it's neither.
This front office has no idea how to trade, whether it's players or picks. They really liked Primo - the obvious play is to trade back but the FO is so terrible and allergic to this part of the process that they decide to waste a 12th pick on someone with 2nd round talent. Beyond stupid but it's par the course for this front office considering how much of a trainwreck they've been since 2017.
great fit for Austin. That's where he will play for the next 2 years
I have to admit, that I already took a look at the 2022 top draft prospects, right after we took Primo.
The Spurs are used to drafting in the late 20's -- it's the soft bigotry of low expectations.
I felt spurs were looking to trade down being they ate up all their draft time. Still i hope this guy along with luka pan out or spurs are really f'n up lately
