Report: Spurs eyeing athletic wing in the draft

[Uriel]

This was already posted in the think tank, but I thought it was significant enough to warrant attention on the main Spurs forum.

He's tweets always make him sound like a jack ass

[ace3g]

So Spurs are eyeing athletic (6'4) wing...

[ernest787]

I just realized Jabri blocked me on Twitter LOL. I guess he didn't like being called out for being completely biased with his Kawhi reporting

[Gordy58]

Chandler Hutchinson please

this.

So Spurs are eyeing athletic (6'4) wing...

which obviously can hit 50% 3pt in practice, but 28% in real games

[baseline bum]

You mean they're not eyeing ty unathletic point guards who can't shoot?

[BSfromTX]

Who is Jabari Young?

[cutewizard]

[K...]

But too athletic, got to keep the spurs culture alive.

That’s because he is one. tbh.

[sananspursfan21]

Wait why would they do that? We already have an athletic..... oh, I follow what you're suggesting Jabari, ya sneaky bas

CIA Buford

Taller than 6'0?

[Mikeanaro]

Sure, maybe even look for one euro got, 38 years old and 6´2¨ a rough diamond.

Athletic wings that could be available at #18:


1. Zhaire Smith, SG (best athlete but unlikely he's available)

2. Gary Trent Jr., SG (would be a solid pick; A higher upside Danny)

3. Troy Brown, SF (long athletic wing; Chip could work his magic on his jumper)

4. Lonnie Walker, SG (little undersized but attacks the rim well & we need that badly)

5. Dzanan Musa, SF (would be a classic Spurs pick)

6. Keita Bates-Diop, SF (oldest of the bunch but well-rounded role player)

7. Chandler Hutchinson, SF (another Senior with a well-rounded game; Seems like a Spurs-type personality)

[Marco]

My guess is they'll choose one of these: Kevin Huerter, Donte DiVincenzo and Jerome Robinson. And I would be happy with that.

This is news?

Every team is looking for the same thing considering it's a perimeter based game.

[cd021]

Not so much a wing as he is a 2 but Anfernee Simon's is very high on my wish list

[YGWHI]

An athletic wing?? Stop this f*cking rumors! WE HAVE ALREADY HAVE ONE IN...KYLE!

[james evans]

if not the draft, then they are looking in the Big3 tournament ready to throw out some huge contracts

[FireMicoHalili]

They’ve interviewed Miles Bridges and have tried to work out Josh Okogie. Both wings are athletic. Others which may be up for consideration include Shake Milton (personal choice), Zhaire Smith, Isaac Bonga, Hutchison, and Bates-Diop.

If rumors are true, this takes out Huerter or Musa from the conversation. Eliminates Mitc Robinson as well. Not sure about Huerter since he’s less athletic and just as thin as Musa. Musa is arguably more athletic. Looks like an unproven Steve Novak to me, which I’m sure doesn’t bode well for a lot of Spurs fans. I don’t know why a lot of people are infatuated with this guy but hate Musa. If they wanted a shooter, JP Macura (worked out for the Spurs) is a better choice in the second round. As always I hope they go with the BPA and just address team needs via free agency.

also when did Hutchison’s surname become Hutchinson...

[objective]

Hopefully that knocks Troy Brown off their board

He's been compared to Kyle Anderson and Evan Turner for his smarts and passing

But he's just a largely below the rim athlete who can't/won't shoot threes at the NBA level just like the other two

athletic wing aka stretch 4 aka undersized 2
