Spurs and the future

I like McGary but got the feeling that Spurs might have better options at #30. Kawhi is pretty much the only athletic wing player they’ve got and I would not be surprised if players like KJ McDaniels, GR III or PJ Hairston end up drafted drafted by SAS at #30. They also need a backup post-player and few prospects might be there at the bottom of the draft – Alec Brown, Jordan Bachynski, Isaiah Austin, Juvonte Reddic, Patric Young. The other root Pop and the front-office might take is to draft is to go international at #30 – Micic, Capela, Nurkic (if slips) or even Bogdanovic – those guys are clearly not NBA ready but can be stashed for a season or two and come to the L at higher level. As for the current players’ right they hold – Hanga, Bertrans and the others – I think they’ll have hard times to crack Spurs’ or any other NBA rooster. Maybe only the french guy they drafted last year have some untabbed potential but sadly he got injured and we wouldn’t know at least for now.

He’s definitely Raw but given time to develop he can play. He’s long, quick and has a decent jump shot for a man his size. Richards is only 23 years of age.

Solid post and good info. I like Livio-jean and Adam Hanga to join the Spurs hopefully this season.

Ryan Richards is not living up to his potential and actually has some mental problems, so I don’t see him doing anything.

I like Bertans but the torn ACL didn’t help his case. Lots of posibilities for the Spurs in the future from Europe.

 Probably will lose Bonner (thank God), there has been rumors of Patty Mills to the Knicks, Dayne is non-garunteed money. I like Baynes, should be interesting.

The Spurs really don’t need to do much to stay competitive for at least one more year. I’d like to see them get a little more athletic at the 2 or 3 position to help DG and Kawhi. OKC still scares me with Durant/Westbrook due to the pure athleticism.

Yeah the Spurs definitely have a bright future.  I hope Dennis Lindsey can bring that type of opportunity to my Jazz.  The French kid, Jean-Charles, is really exciting.  I think it was on another post here that he won the MVP of the Nike Hoop Summit on the international team that included the likes of Andrew Wiggins and Dante Exum which says a lot especially playing against the level of talent that was on the USA side such as Parker.  I think San Antonio has it locked down for quite sometime.  Hopefully they don’t overpay too many of these guys though.  I love Kahwi and wish the Jazz would have taken him at 12 in that 2011 draft but like a lot of other people have said I think the finals MVP situation (even though he deserved it hands down) could set expectaions that might not be acheived and pay a player a max contract that they wont live up to.  Just like I hope that Utah doesn’t throw one at Gordon Hayward this year.  Way good post though I wasn’t even aware of the other prospects the Spurs had.

 I would like to see the Spurs drafting Alec Brown as Bonner´s substitute/upgrade

At 30 they have choices like Anderson (if he falls), McGary, Hairston, and even Markel Brown. Their staff works with everyone and can make anyone better. The current mock has Isaiah Austin falling to them which could be awesome.

They probably need a stretch four who can hit the 3 AND defend inside/block shots.

If they can work on McGary’s shot would he be the guy?

Patric Young is limited offensively, but he is big and a good athlete and rebounder.  He can play next to either Duncan or Splitter and defend the paint. 

They could look at it like they are trying to put together a new Young Core.  They already have Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green.  If they resign Patty Mills, that would give them another guy.  So, who should be the fourth young guy?  Their young perimeter looks great.  What about an inside guy? 

At 58 or 60, they can look at Luke Hancock.  He is a crafty guard who can shoot and score.  Solid passing and all around game. 

Geron Johnson is a bigger point guard who is basically a combo guard.  He is a great athlete and can drive, and guard BOTH guard spots.  If they can work on his shot, he would be a great backup to TP, and Danny Green.  They can use Geron as a guy to throw at point guards like Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, and Steph Curry, OR shorter 2 guards like D Wade, Bradley Beal, and Victor Oladipo.

If the Spurs want a low post scorer and a LEGIT rebounder at 30, Jarnell Stokes would be a great option.  He also has a foater and a Euro Step.  He could be a monster if he improves his consistency on his shot.
