Welp, that didn't go as expected, to say the least. I really hope the picks pan out, because it's the last saving grace PATFO have going for them.
You don't understand the big picture. Pop gon roll out the super small ball midget line up of Mills/Forbes/Weatherspoon/Johnson/Metu to outsmall everybody. He played Patty Mills at SF before
Maybe we’re packaging any of Brynn, Mills dor that SF veteran? Crowder?
Glad we didn't shed any salary. All the scrubs are still on the team. Sure they not going after Bojan either
Roster is going to be full, especially if Luka comes over as is expected. You’d be spending cash only to have guys not make your 15 man roster and then potentially lose their rights.
Then again, the team is willing to fork over money to trade a future HOFer to pay for his trade kicker. They get money again on July 6th, so could have dealt for a pick and completed it later technically.
It’s a 49th pick. Who cares? Scrub.
Getting Jontay would've helped take the bad taste of getting another boring, soft big.
I wonder if Porter situation is like what's happened occasionally in the past where players asked not to be drafted in the 2nd so they could choose their own destiny. I really only recall it happening with euros, but ... I don't know, lol
How else is he going to showcase his GOAT coaching if talented players keep stealing his limelight?
Manu says hi.
Weatherspoon > Porter imho
G league lifer
They could have afforded an injury stash. I'm not sure if I've ever been so disappointed in a draft by the Spurs. Even in 2015 when I was apoplectic about Miluntinov, at least there was Cady. The players may well be decent or even good, but considering what they could have had, I just wish they had gone in different directions. Samanic might start right away, but I don't see either of the latter two picks getting significant minutes any time soon.
Saving grace is that they should be able to sign a decent forward with the MLE. But will they? Don't know.
I suspect that Jontay Porter's medicals look even worse than Bol Bol's. Would explain all the teams passing on him...
That's possible.
Weatherspoon is a good kid, I just didn't think he'd get drafted. He was another one I had been planning on floating as a UFA pickup. I'm sure the Spurs spent some time with him. TIMVP mentioned a 2-way contract - that would actually be a good outcome for 49.
He's a good athlete. He doesn't have the silky stroke that Forbes has, but he can shoot.
That sounds foolish. If he's drafted, some team will be able to help with his medical costs and give him access to world-class rehab and training facilities. I don't see any reason why he should believe he would recover better on his own given his reinjury.
I'm thinking he agreed to that. That scenarii makes the most sense considering the gluttony of guards on thevroster.
Pop & RC know we lost 3 players that can guard SF in Kawhi, Green & Anderson and have gotten nothing to replace them, Right?
He (or any player) will sign with a team, but the one they want.
within 5 minutes of the draft being over there will be announcements of a bunch of players who have already agreed to be on a summer league team at the minimum
I remember guys like Payton II and Cam Oliver getting Rockets deals a couple of minutes after the draft was over
what a joke of a draft by the Spurs
Said the same when they drafted White but after I watched his highlight videos I started to come around. The more I watch of the stiffs they drafted this year the worse it looks.
Worst draft in years when the team really needed a homerun tonight(considering how terrible they are in free agency). Three tries and they struck out on every one of em.
Some fans of other teams seem to think we did well: https://jazzfanz.com/threads/2019-nb...111950/page-23 I've seen similar comments elsewhere too, including mavs fans who were high on Keldon.
Looking like:
White, Mills, (Weatherspoon?)
Murray, Forbes, Walker
DeRozan Belinelli, Johnson
Samanic, Gay, Bertans, Metu
Aldridge, Poeltl (Eubanks?)
Given that Samanic and Metu can play some five, maybe the Spurs would be okay with signing Weatherspoon. Or maybe they cut Metu and sign Eubanks to better balance out the roster. I still feel like there will be an MLE player, and that would crunch the numbers way more.
