Yes and that's why (unless a really good offer for a proven player or packaging two picks to moving up a lot ) i want the spurs to use their picks on players.
This is a great draft to have multiple picks in, maybe doesn’t have sure fire stars but there’s lots of good players in it.

9-Jalen Duron
20 Leonard Miller
25 Kendal Brown
The more time passes, the more confident I am that the Spurs will not be selecting Jalen Duren.
Not necessarily what I want but this is how I foresee the draft going lol
9th- Ousmane Dieng
20th- Bryce Mcgowens
25th- Ismael Kamagate
call me crazy, but that looks like a spurs draft. Many won’t love it but I can see the spurs going that route.
I’m bumping this. It looks like Leonard Miller was playing with and against kids that probably couldn’t get a D3 offer.
I am down with that draft:
38th - Josh Minott PF or Procida SF

Still can't see the Spurs drafting 4 guys. Certainly some moves in the works.
I sort of think that way as well but the free agency class sucks this off-season and it’s become more and more apparent how valuable it is to have guys on rookie contracts. Some might argue that it would be bad because they’d become extension eligible all at the same time, let me tell you if they’re all good enough that they have to be extended we did pretty good in this draft lol
when you see the roster and the lack of places, plus the money they will have in the FA : yes it's unlikely but what if they don't have some good offers ? i think the spurs should draft unless they have really good offers. The FO is in the good seat with money and 4 picks.
Smith’s profile seems to have risen considerably post college season. Raf. Barlowe was the first I’d saw mention him and he had him pegged as a definite first rounder.Smith looks intriguing ( young, athletic, 37% on 8 3pt attempts per game), Diabate could be a nice 2nd round.
Pete Nance is interesting, brother to Larry who was a SpursTalk favourite in FA/Trade awhile ago.
From that same article that mentioned Jalen Williams:
…Larry Nance Jr. got his father’s vertical ability, but Pete Nance got his father’s jumpshot. Both players are ideal bigs for dribble-hand-off situations, pick-and-roll, or playing the high post. Both Larry and Pete demonstrate the ability to read the floor, make sharp passes, and be positive contributors on both ends. Both had 20%+ assist rates, 20%+ defensive rebounding rates, and 4%+ block rates on 25%+ usage.
The one thing Lakers would have loved early on from Larry Nance Jr. was some 3-point ability. It wasn’t just about making 3-point shots, but also having some gravity to open up the paint.
Pete does that...
Plenty of draft-and-stash options in this draft. But yea, could also trade for a future FRP and I’d be okay with that.
This kid is reportedly moving up draft boards. Interesting prospect. Explosive athlete at 6’4. Averaged 16/4/2 this season and shot 36% from 3.
Shot 50% on corner 3’s this season though (!!). Spurs worked him out yesterday. Name to keep an eye on.
The problem isn’t if they’re good enough. If they all become eligible at the samevtime, and they agree to take DJ’s bargain $15M/yr extension, that’s like dropping a $45M contract on your cap, sudden like. I think they’ll draft the lottery pick and #38, see who’s there at #20, and maybe stash it, and trade #25 to someone for a future #1, kicking the can down the road, so to speak.
There’s always a market for FRPs. The price includes a convenience charge for wanting a player right now and needing a pick. Usually a better FRP in the future, or an equivalent one and a SRP.
A couple of teams have multiple first round picks and a couple have multiple second round picks it will be interesting to see what the market dictates. Me I am for getting the best players and then worry about contracts latter on - keep the ones we want and trade the others
All this video shows is the he's tall enough to dunk, big whoop. Color me unimpressed so for.
I think if Spurs get lucky and get a top 4 pick, then we might see some trades, go all in to contend. IF Spurs stay with 9th pick, I’ll see them using all 4 picks and see what they get. I’m praying for the former.
top 4 pick Spurs drafting for the future. We make the first round next year with a top 4 pick. Can go wrong with any of the to prospects even if the 3 bigs are gone, we draft Ivey with the 4th and a 4 with #20I think if Spurs get lucky and get a top 4 pick, then we might see some trades, go all in to contend. IF Spurs stay with 9th pick, I’ll see them using all 4 picks and see what they get. I’m praying for the former.
I would be ecstatic with that haul.
Bryn Forbes part deux?
Definitely some similarities. Marcello’s a little taller but they have similar builds and similar games. Both 3-point shooters who struggle defensively. Spurs may not be able to resist.
He does average a steal a game.
The problem is, once you figure out the FRPs that aren’t developing to your satisfaction, pretty much everyone else knows that, too, and you’ll never pull a FRP for them. Call it the Lonnie dilemma. I also see an issue with trying to simultaneously develop 3 FRPs. There’s usually one PD coach who focuses on the FRP. The other coaches might interface here and there, but their main job is scouting and upcoming game prep.
Kick that #25 pick down the road a year or two, and maybe it turns into a better pick.
