Jeff: You worked out with the Spurs ahead of the NBA Draft. How was that?
Jalen: It was really a one-on-one workout. That was expected from San Antonio. It was early and kind of in and out.
Jeff: Did you interview with any of the staff?
Jalen: We got to interview with coach [Gregg] Popovich. That was a pretty cool experience. Something I definitely didn't take for granted, but it was a good workout.
Now it's kind of up in the air with how everyone feels. I had a really solid workout. It was really cool to meet the whole [Spurs] staff and just go through that process with them.
Jeff: Is there a player on the Spurs roster you'd like to play with?
Jalen: I think Dejounte [Murray] is really the pull. We have a lot of similar metrics, and with our wingspans, and what we bring to the defensive side of the ball.
I definitely think it would be fun. That's who I would be looking forward to playing with if I were to become a Spur.

I think he would be 1 of the steals this years draft but not at 9
Ahh his parents were in the AF. So they’re familiar with San Antonio at least.
I’d love to see this young man in a spurs uniform. If the organization thinks highly enough of him to take him at 9 so be it. If not, I really hope he’s there at 20 or they trade up to snag him.
sounds like a Spur to me
Dont know if Charlotte would do this but it is kind of off the one that was posted earlier this year. spurs send 9 and poeltl, mc dermot to Charlotte for 12, 15 and Kai jones and Oubre. I would also try and get their pick for next year pick with some protections (10?) We could also make the stipulation they could not draft williams. Since we would be making the pick for them I think we could make this. this would give us the ability to draft williams and then someone else at 15. I would hope we would trade one of either 20 or 25 for a future 1st but I also see 5 players I want now. 5 is to many rookies to bring into camp next year.
His Post All-star break numbers are flat out ridiculous.

He’s a great example why you stockpile draft picks. Eventually you’ll land a legitimate winning player.
He’s been fantastic. I still take Jermey at 9 though, and no way we was falling to 20. Looks like we’ve got something with Blake and Malachi but wouldn’t have been sad if they packaged those to get Jalen at one of those Knicks picks.
I was very high on this guy. No surprise that he's one of the better players in his draft class, but we got great picks too
Dejounte was very high on this guy. Good take. I was wrong with Johnny Davis and happily admit. But I'd still take Sochan over JDub. And I'm not sorry Spurs ended up with Malaki and Blake also.
I also got it completely wrong with Johnny Davis, but didn’t think Sochan over him was bad.
My wish that draft was for the spurs to have made a serious play for the 11th pick to get Jalen Williams or Duren, but I’m pleasantly surprised with Malikai at 20.
I think when they redraft the class in 3 years, each of our guys will be slotted higher than where they were picked.
I know &#*+ about draft prospects but he seemed really intriguing and was on my short list.
I think I still go with Sochan
Sochan's 2 years younger, bigger and has a better accent
I liked him a lot, wrote this about him June 5:
And I think it was true. For the Spurs also. At that size with that frame, Primo was the scrub version of Jalen Williams.
I don’t think people should give up on their favourite draft picks for underperforming, that is until at least the end of their rookie contract.
Johnny Davis may still turn into a nice player. Way too early to make that call atm.
Saadiq Bey for example, has kind of plateaued in year 2 and 3 after a nice rookie year. Already traded too.
Good take but it's hard for some to understand it.
JD can’t even earn minutes on the parent club. A top 10 lottery pick can’t earn minutes on a lottery team. That’s beyond bad. It borders on pathetic.
Yea have to give Dejounte props he really liked this cat so much he wanted us to use our highest pick on him he was that confident in his man. I still like Sochan just wish he would rebound better.
Yea Sean Elliot is always going off on teams giving up way to early on a lot of kids.
Historically, Presti is really poor at drafting outside the top 10, so he can use the extra picks.

Also liked him, just not at no. 9. But I really wanted an extra late lottery pick to get him, Tari Eason, Duren, etc... ah, too bad.
