    Because if you can't offer at least the possibility of some playing time, it's conducive to a toxic environment, and that doesn't help development. I'm not opposed to the concept in a vacuum, but there's a limit to everything and at PF we probably reached it. Better to focus on other positions/archetypes IMO.
    Probably a happy medium is best (and this is a time to be happy).

    I think Dallas wants to get Ayton.
    Perfect place for him to underachieve.

    Hollinger says our 35th pick went to 50th because we got a better draft position than the rockets in the 1st. That true ?

    You're probably right, but I dont remember Simmons being able to knock down several 3's in a row in an open gym... not saying it didn't happen, I just don't remember it...
    There is a vid of Simmons this year hitting three after three in warmups and then bricking in game time

    Bold prediction -- the pundits will grade the Spurs as an A or A+ on draft night.

    (I mean, can you imagine drafting Wenbanyama and getting a B?)

    You don't want to burn all your future draft capital, but at this point you can really push for a player you want and move forward.
    the extra seconds are hot potatoes that the spurs will have next to no use for. sure, if we didnt have the star, its nice to just take a ton of low-value swings, evaluate for 1-2 years, and move on

    we already never wanted to use all those 2nds, but now they're even less valuable than they were 24 hours ago. we are already likely going to have 6 first round picks in the 24/25 drafts

    Worst comes to worst, you can always get cash.

    that doesnt help the team at all. just lines the owners pockets. doesnt create cap space, nothing.

    No one will dare to go with anything less than A+. They don't have the balls to do so.

    I always thought Barlow was going to be a PF with some versatility and motion. He showed some good things late in the season when he got over his shyness. But with Wemby coming in, his window of opportunity to develop here just narrowed a lot because there simply aren't enough minutes to go around.

    Bleacher Report: 2023 NBA Mock Draft: Full 2-Round Predictions After Lottery Reveal
    Jonathan Wasserman, May 16, 2023

    32. San Antonio Spurs: James Nnaji (Barcelona, C, 2004)

    Though he's limited offensively, Nnaji has the body, athleticism and Euroleague experience for NBA teams to picture a surefire rim protector and finisher.


    44. San Antonio Spurs (via Raptors): Terrence Shannon Jr. (Illinois, SG/SF, Senior)

    Improved shot-making turned Shannon into a more realistic three-and-D option, while the slashing and playmaking flashes suggest he'll have some margin for error with his shooting consistency.

    We need size and play making for others. People can’t forget about the month of February that Branham had and even Champagnie end of the year play

    The Spread 810AM: 2023 NBA Mock Draft Including Best Bets & Sleeper Picks
    May 16, 2023 6:24 pm

    32. San Antonio Spurs: James Nnaji (C, Nigeria)

    The Spurs and another international project? Sign me up. Nnaji is a Nigerian prospect who spent last season playing as a reserve in Spain, but this San Antonio organization has a rich history of molding these types of prospects into special players at the NBA level.


    44. San Antonio Spurs: Nikola Djurisic (SG, Serbia)

    Another international prospect, another Spurs pick. This time, 6’8 Serbian shooting guard Djurisic would be the pick. He averaged 16.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists per 36 minutes in the Serbian professional league last season and just turned 19 years old. He has a big frame, tons of offensive versatility and is a proven shot-maker and playmaker. He will probably climb in my next mock depending on how his workouts go.

    No. It also wasn't 35th. It is, and remains 33rd.

    Could have been 32 until lottery night (if Houston ended up with a better pick).

    I see that happening with more than a few of our SRPs. We just have way too many overall picks to use.

    Just spit-balling but I think getting Wemby also increases the ability to use those SRPs on older players with higher floors but lower ceilings. Julian Strawther, Jaime Jaquez type players. Dare I even say a guy like Drew Timme - someone who will likely never develop into a starter but could be a valuable 3rd string rotation player.

    Sure, but you can only do it so many times.
