Is that the Arkansas one or Cali one?
Jalen Williams in San Antonio

Cali
I've never heard a player candidly admit things could've gone better in a workout...Impressive interview.
Definite 'Sleeper' potential...
I could see them drafting Lidell
Definitely fits the profile....

It's a nice rendering but I really hope you're wrong.
Have you seen Dejounte's splits month by month throughout the season? He made great leaps from month to month (MIP type of stuff). It's why I was upset that Ja won it over him. Ja played the same most of the year, but Dejounte improved a lot within the actual season.
He started off averaging 17.8ppg in the first month of the season, but then Jan/Feb/Mar he went up to : Jan-22.9/Feb-23.8/Mar-25.6. He really was playing great by the end of March where he averaged 25.6ppg for the month. Pretty amazing progress through the season IMO. As I mentioned after the Spurs were eliminated, I would have loved to have seen how his April would have been had he not gotten sick. It really sucks he wasn't able to finish off the season at the level he was playing at before getting sick. I also wonder if he was carrying a slight injury in April as I recall he tweaked something in one of the last games before he got sick.

official list of players pulling out of the draft. i was a bit surprised by terquavion smith deciding to return to NC state.
Damn! 112. Didn't realize how high the number of applicants every draft/year.
Also, didn't know that Shareef (O'Neal) is already a Junior. It's not like he needed to be drafted or to have an NBA career as their life is already set, financially speaking. Same goes with Bronny (James) and Zaire (Wade), I don't see them being so hungry for something since they grew up wealthy and then, there's pressure being compared to their respective father.
Have a great feeling the Spurs will come out with a good player — a contributor — from this draft. I am setting expectations at reasonable — a high floor guy at least. The 9th spot historically has a good chance to yield a good player, an all star even — odds that weren’t there for the 12 or even the 11. Someone good will fall and I trust the Spurs know what they are doing and will grab him.
Then the lower picks 20-38 are great for filling out holes in the team, take fliers, and gambles on guys they like that may pan out or not, but if they get a good player out of the 9th, the other three picks are gravy.
Also, I feel like the Spurs are due for a hit. Its precisely the KingKiev narrative about how they have been average as of late with their drafting. I think they are just due for a hit, whether its because that guy falls to them at 9, or they just get lucky and grab a sleeper or late bloomer later.

He has the Spurs picking Jalen Duren, Tari Eason, Jaden Hardy, Khalifa Diop.
He seems to have moved from the Spurs promising Caleb Houstan.
Kendall Brown going back to Baylor is a surprise, thought he was a lock for the first round
I believe he's staying in. A version of the withdrawal list mistakenly included him.
Man, so many folks have us taking Duren at 9. Wonder if they’re basing it on something other than a feeling Jakob will be gone in a year?
That, or my latest conspiracy: Spurs will take Duren at 9 and turn around and dangle it in front of CHA for 13&15 if Williams is picked before 13. Then with 13 & 15 they take 2 of Davis, Sochan, Dieng, Eason, Branham

It's being reported now that it was a mistake, and he's still in...
https://therookiewire.usatoday.com/2...ry-withdrawal/
I would be ecstatic with that haul.
Has a contract on a house contingent on the draft... Looks like he has a promise.
A visit? Where'd you see that, tbh?
i was wondering the same. i haven't been able to find a source.
fwiw it was his instagram story where he was in an airport and “SAN ANTONIO” was on a sign behind him
Anyone have a list of the players who have worked out with the Spurs?
Will the Spurs draft a player who doesn't meet with them?
I dont doubt the Spurs would draft someone they didnt meet with
it could also be a matter of it being unreported and they actually did meet with that player
people will point to them drafting so and so and refer to reports that they didnt meet with that player
i dont believe anything with the Spurs is truly constant. They may have done X, Y, and Z in the past, but they always adapt to the times and leadership is always changing. People say, “well, it’s what the Spurs do”, then a year later like this past offseason they made several trades that were uncharacteristic of them.
It’s “uncharacteristic” because you believed the Spurs act a certain way. The only thing constant about them is that they adapt or they try to do things before the rest of the league.
