I love this guy. He is not a natural shooter, but he has improved every year of his college career. Chip could probably work wonders with him. His quickness is questionable, but he has good size and a very good wingspan. His biggest asset, however, is that his leadership skills are off the charts. This link is to a very long article, but for anybody interested in Malcolm, it reveals why he would be the perfect Spur.

Very good article on him. Thanks for sharing. POP would love a guy like that.

29. SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Malcolm Brogdon, SG, Virginia: This is the most Spurs pick imaginable. They take one of the best players in the country at running off of screens as well as one of the premier perimeter defenders. He might be 23 and have relatively lower upside than some of those taken above him, but Brogdon could fit extraordinarily well in the San Antonio scheme.

29. SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Malcolm Brogdon, SG, Virginia: This continues to be a match made in heaven. Brogdon has the exact kind of skill set that would translate well to the Spurs scheme as a guy who runs off of screens and hits open shots. There is a bit of a concern on his jump shot translating to the NBA due to how flat it is, but that kink can be ironed out. Throw in the fact that he was the best perimeter defender in college hoops this year, and it's easy to see why a smart team could take him even in round one despite being 23.
Would love him but feel like Dallas will snipe him first.
Last draft, they snagged his former teammate, Justin Anderson, who came on late and performed well in the playoffs.
If you like Brogdon, you might be interested in reading the article that I posted above in this thread about him. It is lengthy, but it offers insight into his character and especially his leadershipskill. His incredible leadership could be especially valuable for the post-Manu, post-Timmy Spurs.

He's excellent on defense, and he played in an intricate offense predicated on ball movement. He's basically a Spur already. His biggest weakness is three-point shooting (39% as a senior), which the Spurs will fix in their laboratory.
I don't like his age, but yeah, he's a guy you could see playing a role for the Spurs as a rookie if Green goes elsewhere or even if he doesn't. Fits nicely between Mills and Anderson.

Fansided, Clipperholics: 2016 NBA Mock Draft: Answering Clippers, No. 1 questions by Tom West, 14 May 2016
29MALCOLM BROGDONShooting guard, Virginia to San Antonio Spurs
Experience, willing passing, efficiency; the kind of attributes that make anyone fit in with the San Antonio Spurs.
Of course, not many players taking their first steps into the NBA fit that category and obviously no rookie has the experience of the Spurs’ championship-winning veterans. However, as rookies go, 6’5″ shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon fits the kind of description that the Spurs look for in young players who can enter their system.
Coming off a productive four-year career at Virginia, playing at least 30 minutes per game over the last three seasons, Brogdon has established himself as one of the most successful players in the school’s history and finished as the ACC Player of the Year in 2016. He isn’t a high-flying athlete, but after averaging 18.2 points on 45.7 percent shooting last season (39 percent with two makes a night from three) and playing excellent defense (he’s also versatile with his quickness and 6’10” wingspan), Brogdon can deliver a role as someone who is ready for the NBA now.
The Spurs are freshly eliminated from the playoffs and want to return with a le run next season, so young prospects years away from their potential aren’t really of interest.
Brogdon has started off his campaign to earn a higher draft pick in convincing manner as well, delivering a 17-point (8-of-11 shooting), 6-assist, 4-rebound, 4-steal performance at day one of the NBA Draft Combine.
All Brogdon does is show up, play at both ends of the floor, and repeats. He fits the Spurs mould and would be a nice backcourt selection as Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili approach the end of their storied careers.

Brogdon was another player who impressed scouts in Chicago last week. Between great defense and three-point shooting that can improve (he improved every year at UVA, finishing at 39%), I remain convinced he's exactly the kind of useful role player that a smart team will steal somewhere in the first round. And that smart team is usually the Spurs.

6'5", 215 lbs - 18.2 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 3.1 apg
Brogdon is the most Spurs-like prospect since Kawhi Leonard. That's not to say Brogdon has that kind of potential, but his elite basketball IQ and defensive ability, combined with an expansive offensive skill set, make him the perfect fit in San Antonio.

29. San Antonio - Malcolm Brogdon, SG, Virginia
http://www.draftexpress.com/article/...p-Day-One-5479
17 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 turnovers, 6-8 2P, 2-3 3P, 3-4 FT, 24.4 minutes
Coming off an ultra-productive four-year career at Virginia, Malcolm Brogdon played an impressive, efficient game, scoring 17 points on only eight shots, while contributing in a handful of different areas. The 23-year-old two-guard looked like the best pure basketball player among all four 5-on-5 teams as he was able to distribute as the primary ball handler, knock down open shots, and finish over length and through contact all while locking up on the defensive end.
There's not a ton of flash to Brogdon's game – he's not an explosive athlete and he doesn't have the most beautiful shooting stroke – but he's been a winner at every level (his team won by 40 points on Thursday) and most certainly stood out as the most NBA-ready player to play 5-on-5. At 6' 5.5” with a 6' 10.5” wingspan and a strong 223-pound frame, Brogdon found some success playing on the ball on Thursday, especially out of ball screens.
He doesn't exactly turn the corner in isolation situations, but he showed that he's a sound ball handler versus pressure and has the IQ to facilitate against a variety of pick and roll coverages. Brogdon may not be loaded with upside but he has a winning mentality, is a tremendous defender, can make standstill jumpers and knows how to make up for some of his athletic limitations as a half-court scorer. He's a safe pick for a team in the late first or early second round, and could very well rise with more strong performances during the pre-draft process.

29. San Antonio Spurs • Virginia SG Malcolm Brogdon
Brogdon is one of the older prospects in this draft, but is a lock down defender and a good shooter. He fits the mentality of the Spurs and could be a steal at this spot.
It's official...someone is taking this guy in the early 20's ahead of SA.
Did he get a promise?
I guess that leaves Thon Maker for us and our world class development staff.
I'd love to see the Spurs draft this guy, but unfortunately his stock is rising now.

29. Spurs, Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia
Brogdon is a natural born leader and a very intelligent four year player that was well coached at Virginia and shot about 40% at three in his senior season while being a high-level defender. Doesn’t he sound like a Spur to you?
