Man, I’m bummed Hachimura didn’t work out with the Spurs while Clarke did. Never watched college ball, but from everything I heard and read about, the latter would be a bad fit for the modern NBA. At least Hachimura has some
potential to be able to play the 3. That being said, hopefully they get Roby!

Spurs not working out a player you want is probably a good thing . Trust me, there is enough floating around to substantiate this: SA really likes Rui.

These are only reported workouts up to a certain point - and I'm sure not all workouts are public.

Could see Kris Wilkes falling to 49 at this point, tbh.

From a December 2018 B/R article:

Mark Few blew the final whistle on Gonzaga's basketball practice more than 20 minutes ago, but Rui Hachimura hasn't stopped shooting. Few, Gonzaga's head coach, has moved from the floor to the stands to talk with a scout from the San Antonio Spurs. And Hachimura, who'd been tipped off to the scout's attendance before practice, is giving the pair plenty to discuss.

[DPG21920]

I think if SA trades up it will be for him. Obviously if he falls to 19 that would be about as good as one could hope for, but they may try to trade up.

I really like his profile overall, but I do have some concerns. Evidently though he’s got a great work ethic which usually bodes well.

[Dejounte]

God no to Rui. Dude is going to bust hard.

[DPG21920]

God no to Rui. Dude is going to bust hard.

Has me worried some too, but I have heard enough good things to lean way more towards excited than scared. Plus, SA likes him.

[Degoat]

I was listening to the NBA ringer podcast the other day and two of the guys had Brandon Clarke going top 5 in the draft lol pretty crazy, I don’t think that’ll happen but I do think this draft is gonna be all over the place

[keithington1]

I see Spurs targeting NAW, Rui at 19. Maybe Horton Tucker, Keldon Johnson.

[FutureMan]

It would be beyond weird to see this team draft a single guard without getting rid of a couple of them.

Makes sense. I’m just not a fan of Clarke. Buuuuut, I guess you’re right. That being said, makes them kinda hard to read from a fan’s perspective. Or mine, at least. Does that mean them working out Roby means they’re not interested in him?

No, it was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but SA has drafted players they have not worked out before. But they do their due diligence.

They can work out someone and draft them and have before, but not working them out means very little is what I was saying.

[BackHome]

19 - Cam Johnson, Jordan Johnson, Luka, Kangle
29 - Roby, Okeke, Nic Claxton

[Dennis the Menace]

De’Andre Hunter, Nassir Little, Hachimura, Kevin Porter Jr

In that order.

I’d be willing to trade Derozan for Hunter.

And 19th, 29th+Belli,Forbes,Bertans for Little, Hachimura. Maybe Porter Jr too

Yup, I got what you were saying. Just saying that it’s kinda misleading which isn’t exactly a bad thing as it’ll also throw off some other teams, but to be fair I’m probably just reading into stuff a lot more than in years past. Given the turmoil of the past offseason, I just hope everything falls into place and that they draft successfully.

Spurs usually don't work out the player that they really are coveting.

[barakz21]

Yeah, DPG mentioned the same thing earlier. Never did pay that much attention to the names they’d draft, until draft. Given what happened this season, I’m just looking forward.. to being excited about this upcoming season

[BackHome]

I wonder if Walker makes the progress I think he does I think guys like Bertans and Forbes minutes will be severally reduced. What are your thoughts of the possibility of trading one of them for let’s say Nets 17, Philly 24, Celtics 22 teams that need 3 point shooting. With that trade I am looking at the followings -

17/19 - Cam Johnson SF
24/22 - Luka PF or Or Keldon Johnson SF/SG
29 - Okeke SF/PF, Nic Claxton PF/C, Roby SF/PF, Kabengele PF/C
