There is no room for his position on the team. Should have traded the pick instead of throwing it away.

Guard is a sneaky need on the team, so I'm not distraught they drafted one. But I just don't know if PATFO will move on from some other guards to ever make this pick make sense.
Hope the Spurs just trade Forbes, Belinelli and Bertans.
Doesn't mean there won't be in a couple years. Things change fast in this league. Develop him in Austin in case you need him down the road. You never know.
Besides, these mid to late 2nd round picks are all long shots anyways.
You forgot Bryn Forbes and Keldon Johnson. Maybe small ball is the future of basketball?
Oh yeah? I’m thinking you r gonna end up being very wrong.
Like the 10th 6'4" combo guard in the past 15 years.
Stutters and does not make eye contact. Hmmm
A guy from the Ringer said multiple front office people and scouts called Weatherspoon the sleeper of the draft. Assuming he’s a two way contract, seems like a nice dart throw at 49.
Charles spider smith 2.0
#49 may be iffy, but overall a great (stellar) draft. Best in years.
Jay Bilas seemed to like him when we selected him.
Given the volume of whining on here, probably so. After the 30th straight year in the playoffs
Uhh i even forgot about forbes lol.
You do realize Small Ball doesn't mean playing smaller guys right? Small Ball means playing a lineup of Players between 6'5" - 6'9", the only Player in Small Ball lineup allowed to be below 6'5" is your Point Guard.
Except for Luka, Bertans, KJ, All our Young drafted Players are literally all 6'5" and below. That's not Small Ball, thats Small Small Ball
Ref with the Joey Crawford block call.
I wish more refs did like that. Like that one umpire who cry out when there was a strike out.
They're old men. Let them have some fun, I say.
Did you write that or clip it? Because it's pretty dead-on. I said this in the draft thread, but he kicked ass in Portsmouth, and that is exactly where the Spurs got sold on Derrick White. He's a solid, willing defender. And he has a really nice shooting stroke. I think he'll need a year in Austin, but I really believe he can be a 40% 3P shooter. If the Spurs are worried about being able to keep Forbes after his contract is up, Weatherspoon could be a decent replacement. I think he's a better defender than Forbes was. He looked pretty good moving with the ball, but I think NBA defenders are going to pick his pocket just like they do with Forbes - but that part is a wash. He's taller and much heavier than Forbes was when he first came to SA.
He's not a bad pick for 49 at all. If the Spurs hadn't taken him, I would be on here tomorrow talking about him as a UFA that the Spurs need to think about bringing in. I know the Spurs need wings, but the likelihood of stumbling onto a serviceable wing at 49 is pretty close to nil. Might as well draft Forbes insurance.
I see him getting a 2WC while proving himself in the G-League. Worthy to note Forbes is on the final year of his contract so they might be holding tryouts for Forbes's slot, given teams are seeing him as a serviceable shooter.
we haven't had a relevant second round pick since dejuan blair/nando de colo a decade ago. not worth over-analyzing this pick tbh.
Bertans doesn't count?
