18. San Antonio Spurs: Landry Shamet, G, Wichita State

The Spurs are nearing a complete franchise overhaul, as both Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker wil likely soon be gone. Shamet is an elite athlete, has excellent size and could end up being a steal with the coaching of Gregg Popovich.

Scouting report: After an excellent freshman season, Shamet has become one of the best lead guards in the nation this year ... He has ideal size for the point guard position in the NBA at at 6-4 with long arms ...While he does in large part make up for it with his high-IQ and skill, Shamet’s lack of burst off the dribble will limit his upside at the next level ... At the college level, it does not hinder him that often, but in the NBA he will be up against much more explosive and skilled guards every single night (via NBADraft.net)

walker at 23? that is nuts. even if he gets past charlotte, there is no way he's still around at 23.

Yes, they always have strange things in their Mocks.

18. San Antonio Spurs – Donte DiVincenzo, G, Villanova

Donte DiVincenzo blew up onto the NBA Draft stage during the NCAA Championship, and his rise up draft boards hasn’t stopped. He was arguably the best performer at the draft combine and there are whispers that he could jump into the top 15 picks.

I still don’t buy all that, but I do think he’s going to make some team in the 15-25 range very happy. That happens to be the San Antonio Spurs here.

With the Spurs, DiVincenzo could be molded into the player that San Antonio needs him to be. And right now, they really need a new wave of young talent.

Damn it, Drom.

I caught up at work.

I caught up at work.

I'll leave you to it then. I'll update them when I get home from work. As you may have seen, I have a new index thread going, to keep track of all the threads I've been churning out.

[Drom John]

I've made umpteen pages in the past. I stopped this year when I got swamped at work. Had a couple submitted that got delayed. I like the new system.
What I want is a page on Spurstalk before the selection is made so that it is ready to be jumped on draft day. I want the focus to be on the possibles. We don't need a page on Ayton.
Last year I created the pages for White and Blossomgame. Prescient? No. Scattershot? Yes.

I like having the top 10 guys just because people like to talk about them. Also this year, we don't know how high the Spurs may end up picking. We can rule out Ayton in all likelihood, but I think there's at least some chance of the team drafting anyone else as part of a package for Kawhi. Once I add Makur tonight, the prospect list will consist of 65 players. By draft night, I think it will get up to the low 80s. Scattershot indeed.

unless the spurs make a trade, walker isn't going to be on the board. i would prefer that they take khyri thomas over hutchinson if both are still there.

Would you rather have Avery Bradley or Kyle Kuzma?

at this point, i would take kuzma but that's also partially because bradley has dropped off somewhat over the past two seasons. personally, i always thought he was overvalued.

I agree the draft is exciting enough to discuss all players and what they do for other teams. At least I personally enjoy that.

Thats why I'd rather have Hutchinson. Thomas will be a super role player

San Antonio Spurs: Wenyen Gabriel, F, Kentucky, 6-9, Soph.

Gabriel brings versatility to the floor and could his niche in the NBA as someone who can guard either forward spot.
