I don't think they're picking for need yet. I can't see the Spurs taking a big guy.
DraftExpress now has the Spurs picking Robin Lopez from the Cardinal. What the ? I would spontaneously combust if we make that pick.

Yet another long three suggestion (if I don't post it, someone will):

Pat freakin' Calathes, late second round stud or D-League fodder--talk amongst yourselves.
I've just watched the second half of the Nike Hoop Summit.
Ibaka didn't show a lot of things. Ajinça was a little better but he has still a long way to go.
We will see what will happen but I doubt one of them will be in the draft this year.
bump.
with all the spurfan ledge-jumping, it would be good to use that energy on proposing solutions for the future and discussing them instead.
There are no solutions in the draft.
Ok. Thanks for the input.
heard portland will be looking to trade their 2 picks
We really need a small forward to replace bowen...
Um... okay.
A little update on Spurs picks :
First, when two or more teams are tied, there is no tiebreaker. There is a random drawing few days after the end of the regular season. The order is reversed for the second round, that is to say if two teams are tied for the 16th and 17th pick, one will get the 16th and 47th pick, the other the 17th and 46th pick.
Raptors second round pick could still be the 46th or 47th pick. The most likely scenario is the 47th pick.
Spurs first round pick could still be between 23rd and 28th.
Spurs second round pick could still be between 53rd and 58th.
i thought Ime was here for that
Short term solution to a continuing problem. Ime is also over 30.
Just went to the DX site and caught up with who is reportedly putting their name into the mix on the international side....
Given that the Spurs are almost guaranteed to go international with at least one of their picks, I couldn't help but get excited when I saw the list of names.
Obviously if the Spurs could snag Nicolas Batum at the end of the first round it would be a steal. He has considerable talent, plays a position of need, and is young enough to improve his game.
The other three that I'm most intrigued with (Ajinca, Tomic, Ibaka) are all F/C. I know the Spurs are stacked at that position and have a couple in the pipeline, but all three of these guys have a skill-set that is not duplicated by the current roster bigs....namely their perimeter-oriented game.
I think with the depth of big men likely to be in this draft, the Spurs should be able to find value in a pick for down the road...such as Ajinca or Tomic.
Of course that's not a complete list, but those were some of the ones that jumped out at me and had a pretty clear indication they were in it to stay.
PHAT -- sadly, it doesn't seem the Spurs will get any of those players. Batum will be gone by their first rounder. All three of those big guys will be gone by the middle-end of the second round. Maybe Ibaka drops, but don't think so.
Spurs will have the 26/27th, 47th and 56/57th picks.
A coin flip will happen in the next days (I guess it will be on Monday) to decide if Spurs will have the 26th and 57th picks or the 27th and 56th picks.
Spurs first round pick will be quite late. Odds that a highly regarded prospect drop that far are quite unlikely.
The Blazers will win the draft lottery again and select Derrick Rose.
Maybe but who would have thought Tiago would still be available when Spurs turn came last year ?Spurs will have the 26/27th, 47th and 56/57th picks.

I see a Mario Chalmers in our future.
Spurs won the tiebreaker.
Spurs will have the 26th, 47th and 57th picks.
What about a foreign-born player that went to college in America?
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute declared for the draft today, adding to the list of potential SFs.
Chalmers at 26 and Mbah a Moute at 47 would make my day....
What's up with nbadraft.net? Anyone else having trouble accessing it?
Spurs nabbing Chalmers @ 26 would be great. I just don't see it happening.
DX has Ibaka one pick below ours. He's 18, still pretty raw but with tremendous physical ability and he's overseas.
Knowing the FO penchant for picking foreigners in the first round so they can avoid 1st round money, I think we could see them take him with our 1st round pick--while passing on hyped American players like Brandon Rush and Tyler Hansbrough.
