Probably his whole time with the Spurs tbh.
Yup same here. Duarte, moody, sengun and kispert all available and we pick primo? Very lame. He’ll be in g league all next season. Not surprising with this FO but still ridiculous. I’m happy with pick 41, wieskamp will end up being a better pick than primo
So, basically Gregg used a 12th overall pick on the next Brent Formes. SMH.
So was #9 j/s
And how do you know that??? Any data to support that B/S take??
Keldon
tre is better than his draft position but not saying that much bc he was drafted so late
i personally believe in vassell but jury is out
clock is ticking on cutting off luka jr's foreskin and setting him free
Some of y’all are extra af, spurs are one of the best organizations at drafting in the league. I can understand being upset that they didn’t try to trade back and grab Primo but this kid has a huge ceiling imo
Here’s some video of Primo during his combine workouts. I’m warming up to this pick.
Does RC still scout and make the calls when it comes to the draft?
I'm not surprised about Pop not meeting Primo, he's probably not going to coach him. I can imagine them consulting with him about whether there's someone he likes and would find useful for next season and he told them no, draft for the future.
Sure seems a lot of teams weren't as high on this draft (post pick 4 or 5) as the draft experts.
Yeah. Tankathon had primo being picked at 38. That actually makes sense and sounds about right imo. Definitely don’t pick him 12.
Keldon was a fantastic pick on trade value alone. It probably could've moved him for a lotto pick had they tried.
The same way I knew we weren’t going to make the playoffs when others were so confident that they bet me $100 that we would. I didn’t forget. Was just waiting to see if you’d ever say anything about it.
still ultra positive guy. I’ll give you that
hmm I reposted bc your link didn’t show properly.
here’s the media grades.
Can we talk a bit more about DJM’s reaction? That seemed way out of character to me and not at all how I would expect a guy who wants to be the leader of the team to welcome a new team mate, even if he hated the pick.
All I can think is he knows he is on the way out or is about to turn into a vocal malcontent.
Can somebody please convince me otherwise?
Anything better than an F- is generous AF...
Draft picks overall fill a need. Outside shooting
Primo looks promising. Decent 3pt percentage. A intuitive cutter. Needs to work on several things. Like the pick just not at the position picked. Big head scratcher there.
Wieskamp is a good pick at 41. Doesn't have the greatest of handles but good at shooting on the move. High release.
Mid-range ffs…Spurs taking it as a compliment. Primo clearly clowning them
what was his reaction? Didn’t get to watch the draft

Hes always been an outspoken socila media diva,tbh. Dont blame him the pick was a big wtf to basically everyone
The Wieskamp pick gives this more context. The Spurs probably had both really high on their boards. They probably knew Primo doesn’t make it to the 2nd round and rolled the dice that Wieskamp would be there. If they couldn’t find an offer to trade down with, the only choice left is to take Primo at 12, even if it means getting dumped on by the media/fans. I look forward to seeing summer league.
Now that the dust has settled a bit, I think the most pressing reaction I take off this draft is that the current composition of the team is wholly unsustainable. This is actually pretty interesting - any other team, and I'd say it's plainly obvious that they drafted with the certainty that they'd make trades and roster moves to accommodate the new draftees. Of course, the Spurs haven't shown this mentality in the past... But that doesn't necessarily dictate their future moves (or lack of).
So there's the big question - is this summer the "tipping point"? The roster definitely screams for a trade or two. We'll see what happens. Right now, I think any judgement on this draft pick, in its relation to the team as currently constructed, is a bit preposterous. And as for the pick itself -- I'd never even heard of this kid before the draft, so I have nothing to say on him
One thing's for sure, tho - my precious Lonnie's place on the Spurs grows shakier by the day. If this year was a make-or-breaker for him before... It's a kill-or-die one now. Hope he can rise to the challenge.
This FO has been embarrassing as . Not only with the actual on court product but mainly because they look completely directionless and out of sync.
We have a GM who has no power and RC stepping all over him, a coach that has aged and has too much influence with no one to step in and be a voice of reason for what is best for the franchise and a stunning lack of adaptive ap ude towards the modern game.
It’s been freaking awful especially from a direction standpoint. Completely one foot in, one foot out with predictable bad results.
Saving grace is they avoided anything resembling a major land mine and now the decision that should have been made 2 years ago is forced upon them; move on from the vets, embrace more of a rebuild with the youth getting more prominent roles and give yourself cap flexibility at the minimum

Maybe they wanted bouknight who went one pick before them. When they couldnt trade down they went with the player they thought had the most upside.who knows maybe they wanted primo all along!? They passed on moody,sengun,kispert and duarter ffs
