Agree. At the end of the day, we’re all fans rooting for our dear Spurs. To me, I like Jalen Johnson. He has a bad rep, but to me, he’s an athletic freak, moves like a guard in a 6’9 body and with the biggest hands in the draft. 8 years ago, the Bucks selected an underweight 18 yrs old kid with freakish measurements and also moved like a guard. 8 years later, he’s a 2x MVP, DPOY, Finals MVP and NBA Champ. Was the Greek Freak a sure bet at 15? Not at all the closest definition of the word, not investing millions of dollars on an underweight, youngest kid of the draft who played in the Greek league and with little known game. Two years prior, Spurs selected a guy at 15 also with freakish hands, quiet demeanor, just worked hard. He was Finals MVP 3 years later, but bolted out and nobody knows exactly the story. You can make your diligence and still roll the dice. And sometimes, if you want to win big, you have to risk big. Jalen could be a big risk, but at 12th with his high potential star? I’m in’ take that risk. Just my take.
