I’d note that a couple of times I saw rumors …. They are out there and not made up but dont ask me to find them bc I dont have time for that… anyways, the local SA media commented that the Spurs worked out and looked at a lot of guards. I remember the fans, mostly led by Dejounte bc hes the most thorough with scouting as its a hobby I think, looked at other kind of prospects besides the guards that were slotted high in the lottery. No one was combing the guards who were unheralded and projected later.
I kind of referenced it in a few posts in the predraft thread, but Ill be the first to admit I had no interest whatsoever in combing out through the lower ranked guards to find some that I liked. Even if I had done that I couldn’t have predicted this pick.
For the future, pay attention to good performers at the combine bc White, Samanic and now Primo were all combine standouts, and pay attention to the guards. They clearly don’t mind being guard heavy and here we are.
Thanks for the insight to all who scouted him some, since this guy was nowhere in my radar. Its why I find being laid back about the draft works out the best for me.
