Ricky Hooker (6th round)
Gary Gaspard (9th round)
Both from St. Mary's
Nope...earlier.
BTW...just so y'all know...this pair was NOT the first SA college products to be drafted by the Spurs...but they were drafted in the SAME YEAR.

The Spurs have drafted one player from Harvard in the NBA Draft.
Who is he?
The same guy it was on page 4 or 5.
Spurs didn't draft Len Elmore.
Correct. BTW, Ricky is now superintendent of the School of Excellence in Education here in SA, and has two star athletic daughters (Marshevet and Destinee)...
Without googling it, what is the name of the Russian (not Georgian) player the Spurs selected with a 2nd round pick in last June's NBA Draft?

You're heating up. Or else you're looking at the same website I am.
t's interesting to read O'Keeffe's columns again in the 20/20 of hindsight. There's a bitterness that laces all of those columns, and a lack of objectivity that is abundantly clear. He was an opinion columnist, sure enough, and he was paid to express his opinions. But when your opinion is informed only by your hatred for a particular person, and your diatribes are aimed at only describing one side of the story in achieving that end, the opinion lacks credibility.
It was a witchhunt at that point -- when your opinion centers on unfounded psychological assessments of a person's "insecurity," you're just hating.
Probably the latter...
Although, I didn't need the site for my question...I was at St. Mary's during that time, so I remember it well.
This will probably kill all draft related questions, but nbadraft.net has a nice NBA draft history page.
Also, the Spurs have this year's Media Guide available on their site.
ha...I didn't use them...I was using www.basketballreference.com...
Here's another playoff history question:
Beginning with the 1995 playoffs, name 3 Spurs who have hit desperation buzzer beaters (quarter, half, game) in a playoff game (I can think of 3 off the top of my head, but will admit that there may be others that I have forgotten). For bonus points, identify the opponents in those cir stances and the timing (i.e., what quarter) of those made heaves.
Chuck Person
Sean Elliott
Kevin Willis (v. Lakers)
Willis is right. (Game 1, 2003 WCSF v. LA, end of first half)
I did some research and the Elliott shot I was thinking of (not the Memorial Day Miracle, by the way) was dramatic but not a buzzer-beater. I recalled Elliott nailing a desperation heave against Houston in Game 1 of the 1995 WCF, but it turns out that I was remembering a 30 footer he hit with 3.4 seconds left in the first half (and his conversion of the FT, since he was fouled on the shot).
So, I have to change my question to 2 buzzer-beaters, one of which is Willis.
I don't recall Chuck Person draining a buzzer-beater, but I'm thinking of another one: Jerome Kersey's buzzer-beater at the end of the 1st Quarter of Game 1 of the 1999 WCSF v. LA. I have always thought that Kersey's shot was the second-biggest shot of that championship run. It capped a pretty nice run that tied Game 1 at the end of 1 quarter. It seemed to me that the Spurs run that night was about like the Lakers run to close the 1st Quarter of Game 1 of the 2001 WCF -- it planted the seeds of doubt.
Anyway, my bad. It was a poor question on my part. . . .
Here's another question:
Aside from Rodman and Elliott, name the 2 other players involved in the 1993 trade that sent Sean Elliott to Detroit.

Fennis Dembo and Lou Rawls
Sam MitcWhat current NBA coach has a brother who is a former Spur?
Another fun one. One former Spur is in the top 10 in personal fouls in NBA playoff history. Who is he?
Without googling, I'm going to go with Isiah Something and David Wood.
Hmmm ... Isiah Morris I believe. And he never played with the Spurs or any other team, IIRC.
Good job, timvp.
It was the illustrious Isaiah Morris and Dennis Rodman for Sean Elliott and David Wood. Morris was waived about 3 weeks after the trade.
I'll always remember Isaiah Morris because when I heard the first radio report of the trade, the news reader said that the Spurs had traded Sean Elliott and "another player" to Detroit for Dennis Rodman and Isiah Thomas. After a brief moment of giddiness, I thought to myself that unless "another player" was David Robinson, it probably wasn't going to be that Isiah.
Trying to come up with another question.
I see nobody answered this. The spelling may be off but it was Sergei Karaulov.
I had the page I mentioned earlier open...so I figured I was DQ'd...
Actually Solid, we all knew the answer but we saved that one for you because we wanted you to feel included in the thread.
