28
33
58
If Sun Yue is still available at 58, you pretty much have to take him. Too intriguing not to.
Barring trades next month (not a given), the San Antonio Spurs will have the following picks:
28
33
58

The man in the shadows at the Spurs' FO may end up being a critical success factor for the Spurs in the coming years. George Felton, Director of College Player Personnel.
Given, it doesn't take a genius to see that someone like an Al Thornton or Arron Afflalo would be a great talent...however it's those 2nd round picks that may be the difference in getting a key stop or running down a big rebound in future playoff games. Will this year's draft be the re-emergence of the college player in the Spurs' draft? Who's your college 2nd rounder on the rise?

Spurs don't get the Bulls pick.
I could see the sixers or blazers trading off a pick.
I'm not sure. He hasn't really played against anybody...but he does have some interesting physical characteristics. Hey, it's the 58th pick, why not?
Sun has point guard skills at 6'9" and can block the occasional shot -- it's a crap shoot as to whether he'll be an NBA player but that's what #58 picks are for. Might as well pick up a long small forward project.
I freely admit that I am scouting Sun via YouTube and spotty ABA record-keeping, but we've drafted using less information than that in the past.
Yea, agreed. If it were the number 56 pick we'd have to get serious though. If lightning can strike twice and bring us Duncan and Robinson then Manu can strike twice at 56.
I don't see why this couldn't be in the Draft thread.
How does he look?
Sorry to steal your thunder.
Al Thornton or Arron Afflalo most likly wont be there at 28
if the spurs are lucky they pull one rotation player between #28 and 33.
if you have a couple of drinks they get a starter and a rotation player out of those two.
if you have 5 mexican martinis then they find another parker or ginobili.
once you sober up you realize they traded away the #28 to the suns who use it on a future 6th man of the year or to the mavs who use it on a future starter.
:/
Especially when the guy is wrong about what picks we have.
Robert horry is the only personthat will need to be replaced.
Horry will be on the team next year.
The San Antonio Sun...
Honestly? He looks like Julius Hodge with 3 or 4 more inches of height and a slightly better outside shot.
And no bullet wounds.
Which might be enough to make the NBA.
He's that aggressive on D? Julius Hodge was actually a guy I thought might make a decent Bowen fill-in. He was a very aggressive defender in college, as well as being laterally quick, and exceedingly long arms. I was hoping the Spurs would get to pick him up in the 2nd round when he was drafted...
Sun Yue is a rising star in China and he's considered as the next big thing after Yi Jianlian!
It would be cool if the Spurs could get him, I think he's a good prospect and the Spurs will get more spotlight in China
Hodge doesn't have the shot, strength or conditioning to make it in the NBA at this point, although he is a fun player to watch in the D-League. Yue's height and length could make up for some of the same issues he seems to have. Besides, there aren't any other SFs over 6'8" in the draft outside the lottery anyway. I hope he show up at the draft camp.
Is Hodge still funny? That was his best trait when being drafted.
Hadn't really seen any interviews with him lately. Said a quick o when the T-Birds were in town, but that was it.
I have never seen a forum so uptight about this should be in this thread, this should be in another thread, etc
