Joe Wieskamp is interesting... he could be a 2nd rd target or possibly a UFA signing. He's an interesting player late 2nd to UFA.
Yeah him, Mobley, and Bassey are really the only 7 footers (or close to) in the first round. I'd think Kai and Bassey will probably move up the board.

Kai Jones... a guy who couldn't even start for his team as a sop re.
Andy Katz is posting some snippets of his interviews w/prospects on his twitter page.
J.T Thor pulls out of the scrimmages...somebody is grabbing him first round, maybe even late lottery now.
Speaks well.
Is gidney more of a pure pg or can he slide to off ball? Will he fit with white and murray
I’m really liking him more and more. Solid defender. Good outside shooter. Good character. Great vertical, as well now. Screams Spurs material. 12 seems too high, but maybe not. Of the 10-20 players, he’s one who *could* break out, imo. And I see the Brandon Roy comp if you squint. Not a good roster fit, but they need to trade one of DJ, White or Lonnie anyway, but hey, we know that’s unlikely.
So the the same max vertical as Zach Lavine tested at the combine and 1" more in the standing vert cat....in a bulldog frame.
He can be a secondary playmaker, but putting him in a corner is problematic as he's not a good shooter at this point.
Yeah. This one is going to be tricky.
i see a resemblance.
Although I won’t believe in trades until it happens just based on the team’s recent history, if they do draft a guard because he’s BPA (and they should look for the ebst talent bc they need it), then I definitely see FA signings of a bigs, or tall forwardd, to complement this group (Luka will get his chance to grab a spot like he’s gotten every year but I need to see to believe when it comes to him). That may be the Markkanen rumor, Oubre or whomever.
Spurs watching Huerter and thinking, "I want one"?
Austin is a shot creator and the team sorely needs one.
Dude can score from anywhere.
If he gets drafted by the Spurs, I'm gonna think we just drafted the next Manu Ginobili.
12 is WAY too high for Murphy. As an upper classman, he might even slip into the second round, although not very far into it. I’d love him there, but hate him at 12.
Especially interesting because one older tweet about Springer I saw from February said "I get his athleticism might not wow some people, but his shot creation is high level."

More on Springer from that same article that really makes him sound like a potential target for the Spurs:
Springer’s mid-range game is a rare sight to see from a guard in an era where the game is only becoming more obsessed with the three-point shot, but his shooting fits in with that modern approach as well. He’s only improving as a shooter and has shot 47 percent from beyond the arc this season for the Volunteers, providing evidence and encouragement that he will become a knockdown shooter in the NBA.
He’s found a way to blend a modern skill with something that is considered outdated and has made it effective for how he scores. Springer hasn’t gotten caught up with the trend of shooting threes from outer space, rather opting for the higher quality shots that aren’t nearly as flashy. He’s making what’s old new again, while still maintaining the 3-point efficiency and range you’d want from a starting combo guard in 2021. It’s also another layer of his game that makes him so similar to Roy in my eyes.

Basically, his shot profile sounds like it would make both the pro-DeMar and the anti-DeMar folks happy...
It is looking more and more likey that the 12th pick will be getting guys in the third tier based on a lot of recent mocks 12 to 18 getting the same value to me. I am still hoping one of the teams before us does something stupid in the 7 to 11 range. Either way I hope no one is planning on seeing who we pick play cause I can almost guarantee they G League bound
Love that article.
So much happens in this 30 seconds - Ginobili-esque.
I liked him until I saw those 3 ball attempts eek.
But he is intriguing
super intriguing
Definitely seems under appreciated, and playing next to Keon, who is more of human highlight reel, likely played some role in that.Love that article.

It’s interesting. I’m trying to think of the 3/D players outside the top 5 with a chance for star potential. Moody. Springer. I’m not buying Davion Mitc . Wagner, but I don’t see as much potential for s om. The 3/D label typically is used as a slight, as in the player is limited. But I now see it as the opposite. 3 and D skills are the floor for every player now, ideally. And if you can get more development than that? That’s a safe gamble. I see Sengun and Giddey as having too much bust potential due to some potentially fatal flaws in their game.
I suppose in real time as I write this, I’m hoping the Spurs get one of Wagner, Moody, or Springer at 12.
Variety is the e of life...... I don’t like him but what does that even mean? Lol
I've long thought this. He just seems like a Spur.
Like the take. I feel it's similar to the perception most used to have about the dreaded "Combo Guard".
Now most teams are running two on the floor in clutch situations (or at least those with overlaps, skillwise).
I'm not sure Springer is a 3-D guy just due to the low volume of attempts and he sometimes tends to pass out of them instead of shooting it.
What I like about him is that he can impact basketball games in so many ways without scoring and often draws or outplays his highly touted direct opponents.
What makes him lottery material then?
I think he could redefine the entire idea of what a CG is.... he's only 18... and while unlikely, (considering his last spurt happened 4 years ago according to Draft Express),
may not be done growing.
He's got bit of Gary Payton to his game too - Great POA defender who can post up.
You may even, at times be able to invert your Offense with this kid.
IMHO, I can't imagine in any scenario where you wouldn't want to have him on the floor. Cade and Mobley are the only other guys from this draft I would say that about right now (from what they've shown to this point).
Bones Hyland playing nasty and flying up draft boards.
His foot movement, lateral speed, and length is 100% in the mold of today's NBA big man every playoff team has in spades and Spurs haven't had in over a decade, but do go on.
Honestly Spurs should draft Jericho Sims over Kai Jones. Sims was the best perimeter defender big man in the country, has length for days, improved footwork and offensive game every year, and is emotionless and stone-faced exactly like Duncan.
Of course timvp would probably sprout a gray beard if we drafted a longhorn, but he'd be a great fit talent and personality wise imo.
