Thanks bruno...Have you or anybody else seen this kid play? I find it interesting that a euro kid so young can already have the offensive firepower this kid has..

He plays in Slovenia so our Slovenian posters should be able to give you some details about him. It looks like he doesn't plays a lot with his team which isn't surprising given how young he is.
This is the latest DX pick in there latest mock. They could be onto something since there is a total of 2 posts in this thread about this kid..
The key with these young international players is if they will stay in the draft. The deadline is June 13. But I agree with you, if Bertans stays in the draft, he will be a strong candidate for #29.
I would definitely take him at 29. Has tremendous upside.
another short guard!

Just spoke with Davis Bertans' agent. He's still hasn't made decision re: staying in the draft. Will make one in the next few hours.
Somebody promised this kid a 1st rd pick.. Would not suprise me one bit if the spurs draft this kid.

Davis Bertans is "leaning towards keeping his name in," his agent Marc Fleisher told us. "We'll decide in about two hours."

Davis Bertans is officially staying in the draft, according to his agent Marc Fleisher. Won't reveal whether he knows where he'll be picked.
Interesting, thought for sure he was withdrawing...Looks like its between Bertans and Mirotic for the 29th pick in the draft.
i read an article about mirotic saying even if he is drafted now he wont play in the NBA for 2-3 years....the only reason he is staying in the draft is to avoid this painful process .......i dont know if we still draft and stash him for future
There is a good chance Bertans has received a first round promise. Spurs could be the team that have made the promise but my guess is that it is Chicago.
It has been known for quite sometime that Mirotic had no desire to play in the NBA anytime soon. I am 100% sure the spurs FO is aware of his contract issues and should they feel that he gives them the best value at #29, you will will hear his name called on draft night. There is nobody the spurs can get at #29 who will help in the coming season or seasons, so why not draft and stash?

Looks like both Nikola Mirotic & Davis Bertans staying in the draft. Both will be 1st rounders. Look for Mirotic at OKC & Bertans to Spurs
Thanks for the updates p<s...Not sure which I player I like more at this time, but I like Bertans contract status in Europe much better thats for sure.
I am not crazy about these highlight videos, but for those who know nothing about him this should at least give you an idea of what kind of player he is. Shooting and more shooting.

At best, he's the next: Keith Van Horn.
Good comparison..From the 29th pick that would be a steal...
thanx for the video...looks like he is pretty quick on fastbreak
,The spurs have 10 players under contract for next season who played big roles in achieving a 60 win season. This only leaves 2 active roster spots open for contributing players next season, so no room or PT for any rookie players anyways. Toss in the towel, really....
Yep, thanks for all the updates p<s.
I don't think Chad Ford has some kind of inside news linking Spurs to Bertans. IMO, it's just: both Presti and Buford like Euros, both Spurs and Thunder have a late first round pick, both Spurs and Thunder don't really have roster spots to add prospects => let's put Mirotic to OKC and Bertans to SA.
6-10 SF that can shoot and looks to be able to create his own shot off the dribble!!! Yes please!!!
he seems to have the KVH build, but KVH never had a jumper that smooth. Dude looks like he's a knock down shooter.
Interested in weather he can create his own shot and how he looks in the defensive side
