Spurs Mock Draft 1.0: Picking at 9, 20, 25 and 38 for the Spurs

[TDomination]

the spurs should trade the 25th and 38th pick to move up to 21

that way we can have picks 9, 20 and 21.

those 3 numbers gave us great seasons for many years, perhaps it could happen again in a different form.

9. SAN ANTONIO SPURS – G/F Bennedict Mathurin, Arizona Sop re

This pick makes so much sense after the Spurs traded away Derrick White
. Mathurin shot 36% from beyond the arc as a sop re and is an instant pairing with Dejounte Murray
who will drive all day.

20. SAN ANTONIO SPURS – F Nikola Jovic
, Mega Basket International

All film and scouting reports on this guy just scream “Spurs” to me. The combination of shot creation and length is something Popovich covets in his young players, and he’s also the perfect coach to teach Jovic defense.

25. SAN ANTONIO SPURS – G Blake Wesley
, Notre Dame Freshman

The Spurs’ third first-round pick, and they use this one on upside as well. Wesley needs to improve his distance shooting, but his versatility on both ends makes him a fun Popovich pick here.

9. San Antonio Spurs: Shaedon Sharpe, guard, Kentucky

When looking at NBA Draft rankings, a lot of it has to do with upside. According to 247 Sports, Sharpe was the No. 3 overall recruit in the class of 2021. Unfortunately, he did not suit up as a freshman.

Despite this, there’s talk that Sharpe will simply go pro. He’s an athletic dynamo with an unfinished floor game. It will be interesting to see him perform during the pre-draft process. The Spurs can afford to take a chance on him with two more first-round picks in this 2022 NBA mock draft.

20. San Anonio Spurs (from Raptors): Jeremy Sochan, forward, Baylor
25. San Antonio Spurs (from Celtics): Walker Kessler, center, Auburn
38. San Antonio Spurs (from Lakers): Christian Koloko, center, Arizona

9 San Antonio Spurs: Johnny Davis, SF, Wisconsin
What the Spurs need most is for Gregg Popovich to regain his sanity. That's not available at this pick, so they can add a wing to help replace DeMar DeRozan. Johnny Davis was one of the worst coaches in NBA history. Let's hope his potential son is a better player than his potential dad was a coach.

20 San Antonio Spurs: Blake Wesley, G, Notre Dame
The Spurs could stand to add another guard to their rotation, given their depth issues.

25 San Antonio Spurs: Ismael Kamagate, C, France
With all of these picks, the Spurs figure to select one foreign player and stash them overseas, where they may never be heard from again.

Winner, winner chicken dinner.

Thanks for posting these mocks, tbh. Much appreciated.

[Chinook]

The last two are terrible mocks I would cry if we drafted those players just terrible

I like that first one a fair bit. Washington makes sense in theory and LaRavia fills a need. Baldwin makes sense as a flier if the Spurs like him. Draft a center at 38, and its worth looking into.

[rjv]

uh, that walter football mock almost reads like a piece from "The Onion".

[BatManu20]

Not enough people are talking about mid-range master and future Spurs legend TyTy Washington, who we have already worked out. Will fill the mid-range quota we’ve missed since DeMar left tbh.

Dyson Daniels and Dalen Terry are very similar players

Wtf is this lol

[PhantomDashCam]

Has there ever been as big a name prospect as Jalen Duren with such little, up to the minute information/buzz three weeks out from the draft?
Very strange...

Dunno, his big push was in the tournament, then some national dude suggested he had high level interest a couple weeks ago and that's been it. Mockers seem obsessed with having the Spurs pick him.

I can see the urge. Folks are internalizing that we may trade or let Jakob go by next year. It will be a position of need unless the spurs are willing to pay big time for Jakob.

Yeah I’ve seen many draft pundits stay resolute with him at #9.
Seems a very atypical Spurs pick on paper but very strange to not have heard more about him.

When you look at all the first round picks consistently mocked, he’s the one - by a wide margin - that has seemingly vanished.

Rob Dauster, an analyst I respect, suggests he is indeed 6’11 - 7 ft, which is something you, I and others have questioned at times.

Could he be the ultimate Spurs subterfuge?

Big men no longer generate buzz, but if this were even 2-3 years ago, he’d be a top 5 pick. Just look at Wiseman. He only played like 3 games, and was #2 overall. Duren had a full productive season.

You’re probably right. It may just be that simple.

[Mr. Body]

Fave of yesteryear, Nicola Jovic, now has more garbagetime Finals seconds under his belt than any current San Antonio player. SpursTalk in shambles.
