If the Spurs draft 11th

[ginobilized]

This is new territory for the Spurs if this is true. I hope it is!

Any chance they pull the trigger on Killian Hayes and offload DJM or White? #2 might be too high for him and #11 is too low. Just wondering, Hayes may have the highest ceiling.
Less than a week away!!!!

If we get #2, we're getting Wiseman or Avdija.

Please don’t get Deni. He’s going to bust so hard

[The Truth #6]

Basically everything from the ringer article



James Wiseman:

Golden State Warriors
There isn’t a better place for Wiseman to address his weaknesses than Golden State. During the early stages of Wiseman’s NBA career, he could fill the rim-running/protecting role that JaVale McGee played for years, but he’d hopefully evolve into much more once his shot-creation and floor awareness improve. However, as ESPN’s Zach Lowe first reported, there is buzz that the Warriors want to use the pick to acquire Spurs big man LaMarcus Aldridge. If an Aldridge trade were to materialize, it would likely influence whom the Warriors select (especially if they are drafting for San Antonio).

Without getting into the trade aspects, what is interesting in that blurb is that the Spurs are linked with Saddiq Bey (whom I think they will grab), but also Tyrese Maxey whom I am high on, as well as Jaden McDaniels. I see Jaden as a second round upside pick, but doubt he’ll be there at 41, though I think he would frustrate Pop, and if there is no Gleague this year, Jaden wouldn't have much to do.

Another thought, it is entirely possible and perhaps likely the Spurs draft a player they don’t even work out. They love the trickery and with all the trade rumors circulating I think most of it is smoke screen for something we aren’t aware of yet.

Workout updates:
- Deni, Pat, Okongwu, Nesmith, Maledon

Possible ( prospects who didn't disclose workouts but connected with spurs )
- Saddiq, Jalen

Confirmed no spur workout in our range
- Vassell, Okoro, Hayes, Hali, Maxey ( only 1 team NO ) , Lewis, Achiuwa, Hampton

Can you imagine if we were able to pull off trades for LMA, DEROZZ, and Mills? Man this forum would shut down from the amount of traffic it would get.

I like McDaniels and would be fine with him at 11 or later if we acquire another 1st.
I think he is actually a 2-3 hybrid at 6 ft 10, extremely rare. Yes he will take some time and may ultimately bust but like Def Leppard said “It’s better to burn out than fade away.”

This video is an interview with the Washington head coach about McDaniels and misconceptions about his at ude. More about maturity than anything else it seems.

I don’t want McDaniels he seems to be the Anti Spurs type of player and one who Pop will not want on this team hard pass

Watch the video if get a chance, may change your mind.

I thought I was the only one intrigued by Jaden. Nice video. The coach has to say something nice, but he had decent responses. Jaden’s height and potential and, oddly, drop in the draft boards definitely makes me think the Spurs are considering him.

[Degoat]

I agree on Jaden too, I’ve been watching more film on him and if he hits his potential he could be awesome but the 11th pick is a bit early

There are safer bets to be had at 11 for sure, but next to perhaps RJ Hampton - not sure there is a greater/risk reward pick, that doesn’t appear to be disproportionately weighted to the negative. Sorry Poku fans.

[TDMVPDPOY]

if patfo trade for a lottery pick, they going to give the player minutes? or bury them at the end of the bench?

[offset formation]

I have a su ion that if the Spurs are trying to move up it's for Deni. He is exactly the kind of player that Pop covets.

They already own a lottery pick

Also it seems that international players are more inclined to stay with their original team if they become stars.

Any of these will stay with the Spurs:

1) small town country boy kid - Halliburton
2) idolizes Spurs legends - Wiseman
3) international - Deni

4) rough childhood - Lonnie, Murray
5) overlooked/ late bloomer - Derrick White

[buttsR4rebounding]

I’m not saying no one else will stay. And idolization will only go so far. If they both became All Stars who do you think would be more likely to stay?

[poopbox]

i would think if we are talking to GS about the number 2 pick then Deni would be the guy we would be after...

Wasn't arguing with you. Just adding onto the scope of who I believe would be willing to stay past their contract.

[The Truth #6]

Taking on Wiggins for Deni? That’s a risky move for lots of reasons. Wiggins and Deni would likely be competing for the same minutes, for one.

da fook???? jaden is the prototypical humble spurs type player da fook u come to the conclusion he is anti spur

[DAF86]

lol that .

da fook???? jaden is the prototypical humble spurs type player da fook u come to the conclusion he is anti spur

For me looking at his following issues:

1. Leads the PAC 12 with 72 turnovers
2. League leader in Personal fouls over 60
3. Has had 5 technical fouls which leads conference
4. Terrible Shot Selection
5. Poor body language - He pouts
6. Was benched two games for ? Not being hurt

His last game he came off the bench and was 0 for 4 in a loss.
