Let's stash him in Europe for 15 years as he develops
It's the 2009 Draft! Are you excited?!
...That's great, because I'm not so much. The good regular season records from the Spurs through the last decade and the proclivity of the front office to trade away our first round picks mean that I'm usually not able to muster enough interest in the proceeding to sit through the hours of insipid ceremony. Draft night is not Spurs night.
However, our fearless leader will be going to the Austin Toros draft party (and I'm sure he'll look away whenever a Capital City Dancer walks past him), so it became my duty to write a post about this momentous occasion. Considering I haven't followed the mock drafts and don't watch much NCAA basketball, the more knowledgeable PTR regulars might notice I'm talking out of my derrière. I apologize for that, and welcome anyone that has some accurate information to write a fanpost that I'll afterwards cannibalize to update this one.
Without further disclaimers, let's start plagiarizing Draft Express:
The Spurs Play In The Second Round
How unlike the playoffs. Zing!
The Spurs have 3 second round picks: numbers 37, 51 and 53. With Jefferson in black and white, I would imagine that the FO will do their best to plug our holes in the frontcourt, despite having two young bigs already signed (Tiago and Yawn). A serviceable rookie center or power forward would be perfect for us, but Draft Express says that the group of centers available leaves a lot to be desired. Check their post on the subject to see more stats you can shake a Hollinger at. (And here's their take on the power forwards crop.)
As ATS explains here, a possibility open to the Spurs is moving up into the low 20s, or use his trade assets (all Romaju of them) to move even higher. The truth is, the fact that the owner is willing to pay the luxury tax has ruined every pundit's predictions. Moving into the first round would mean that the Spurs would be even further beyond the cap, but I'm starting to think our beloved leaders our going for broke this year.
Okay, I'm sort of excited after all.
The Wealthy Kids
Let's get to know the top 5 picks, according to Draft Express.
Ouch
- Blake Griffin PF/C - Oklahoma, Sophomore
- Hasheem Thabeet C - Connecticut, Junior
I started paying attention to this big lug during March Madness, when someone went all Karate Kid on him and flipped him over his shoulder for one of the most spectacular fouls I've seen. Here's the .gif image, or you can go watch it over at YouTube. A few days later he did what you see above - he elevated for a slamma-jamma, hit his head on the side of the backboard and still made the dunk. No, really.
DE's take on the manbeast:
Blake Griffin’s spot at the top of draft is more than justified by breaking down his advanced statistics, as it truly emphasizes just how impressive a prospect he is from a physical standpoint.
Not only did Griffin garner the most possessions of any PF in the draft at finishing around the basket per game (7.9), but he's also the #1 finisher as well, connecting on an outrageous 75.5% of his short range attempts, not including post ups. While his overall points per possession (PPP) of 1.08 ranks fourth, thanks to the fact that he’s fouled on 18.5% of his possessions, has finished 51 of his 61 attempts in transition, and ranks amongst the best finishers when cutting to the rim at 1.52 PPP. Athleticism, strength, and tenacity aside, those numbers alone go a long way towards explaining why he’s such a coveted prospect considering he’s managed to generate 20.2 total possessions per game (good for 3rd on our list) while still getting the job done in the post (53% on 7.9 Pos/G).
Too many stats... Whatever. Anyone able to do things like this is okay in my book. Then again, I'm biased.
Dashing
Who is this guy? Don't look at me, I have no idea. Apparently he plays basketball and loves balloon hats.
DE to the rescue:
Hasheem Thabeet’s value comes from his defensive ability, but the development of his offensive game will be integral to his success in the long-term and determine how he is viewed as a player.
Thabeet is going to block shots next year, pull down some rebounds, and face an uphill battle to become a bigger offensive threat than he already is.[...]
Its more than a bit concerning that Thabeet was already having trouble making his presence felt on the offensive end on the NCAA, however efficient he may have been. He was after all, essentially a giant in a land of midgets. He won’t have anywhere near as big a physical advantage in the NBA as he did in college, which will make things even more difficult on him moving forward.
Thabeet struggles badly trying to create opportunities for himself, being incredibly reliant on the talent and generosity of his teammates to generate offense for him. When he was able to get the ball in scoring position, though, he was a major force. Thabeet scored a point on 62.7% of his half court offensive touches, ranking him first amongst all players we looked at. The problem is that he received such few touches, his 11.8 possessions would place him 25th amongst the power forwards we previously examined.
-
Ricky Rubio PG - DKV Joventut, International
You can watch him answering questions during the Draft Combine here. He has a bit of Mutombo in his voice. Watch him block shots, rebound, hustle, make dunks, oop some alleys and jump really high in this video. Considering we don't need another scorer, we could really use some of that, eh?
Eat the head, Ricky
Ricky, at 18 years old, is the youngest of the 5, and probably (hack!) the youngest in the entire draft. I've seen him play for the Spanish national team for a few years now, and I must say he's everything people say he is (even what this guy says rings true). He has played in high pressure situations since he was 15 years old, and he's a gifted passer. If he can develop a deadly jumper and learns to finish at the rim like Tony, he could be the next Steve Nash. (Big ifs, eh?)
DE speaketh:
Ricky Rubio doesn’t have overwhelming stats, but he’s the youngest prospect on our list playing against by far the strongest competition, and thus isn’t as weak in some areas as people may imagine.
[...]
Always better known for his creativity and playmaking ability, it doesn’t come as a shock that Rubio looks good in transition. He is shooting 69% on his transition opportunities on just 13 attempts this season –which is a bit misleading since he doesn’t take many attempts more because he knows when to give the ball up than because he isn’t pushing the tempo. In contrast, his limited isolation possessions are indicative of some issues, as he’s not going to produce a ton in pure one-on-one situations. Fortunately, Rubio, like most European point guard’s we’ve evaluated, is effective on the pick and roll. With 27% of his touches coming from the two-man game, Rubio could have a mutually beneficial relationship with the post players he is teamed with in the NBA, since they’ll likely make his life just as easy as he’ll make theirs.

- Nick Calathes PG/SG - Florida, Sophomore
- Darren Collison PG - UCLA, Senior
I'm going to enjoy watching this guy play basketball in the NBA (wrap around galore!). Especially if he doesn't become a punk female dog like Paul.
He can (and will) kick your butt
Another unknown for me, even though I watched him play during March Madness a couple of times. First thing that strikes me about this kid: he looks strong. Seriously strong, lamentations-of-your-women, green-skin strong. I had saved this dunk on poor Mike Rosario for my blog, but it's perfect to illustrate my point: that's something else. (Here's a mix of his best plays for your enjoyment.) He's short, but I think he has it in him to become an effective NBA player.
DE educates us:
Jonny Flynn was fast enough to compensate for his size on the NCAA level.
Flynn was a standout in two areas: his ability to get to the rim, and his one-on-one skills. Thankfully for him, those are two skills that the NBA values dearly. Clearly, his productivity is grounded in his first step. Flynn got to the rim 8.8 times per game, which accounted for a lot of his scoring, but his 1.24 PPP in unguarded catch and shoot situations and .94 PPP on pull up jumpers are both very respectable. His 4.3 possessions per game on isolations are amongst the best amongst big-conference players, and his 41% shooting on those plays isn’t awful. Couple those tools with his capacity to drive in both directions and his ability to draw fouls (16.1% SF), and it becomes hard not to think that Flynn could be, at the very least, a high quality backup if he improves his efficiency, especially once he masters the pick and roll (.84 PPP).
That's no-h Jonny for you, guys. Watch him in a Draft Combine interview here, and during workouts last month. Let's move on.
Should fit right in
James Harden. James... Harden. Just a second... ...aah, here we go. YouTube Mix of James Harden. It's pretty helpful, considering it's titled "Get to know James Harden". Judging from the level of skill shown in this video, he might be the next Kobe. Or the next next Jordan.
DE with the save:
James Harden’s situational statistics should ease many of the concerns teams have about his game. It appears that he's one of those players who "finds a way to get by" despite his shortcomings.
Very efficient, while maintaining fairly high usage rates, Harden made 47% of his shots in logged possessions –an excellent percentage for a two. [...] A lot of Harden’s efficiency comes from an area that most probably wouldn’t expect it to. In spite of his perceived athletic limitations, Harden was a terrific finisher around the basket this season.[...]
Harden's biggest shortcoming ended up being in the perimeter shooting department. He was terrific on the very few catch and shoot opportunities he received with his feet set (2.4 Pos/G), but really struggled when being contested (.85 PPP) or shooting off the dribble (.73 PPP).[...] Fortunately for Harden, this is clearly a part of his game he can work on, but he'll have to put in the appropriate time in the gym. [...] Harden's intelligence and excellent skill-level really shine through in his ability to score in transition--which was an important part of his game in college.
Just Another Role Player, I guess. Considering he's the 5th pick, well, that should tell you something about the overall quality of this draft. That's why I was so mad that some people suggested trading Manu freaking Ginobili for a 5th pick. Really? Manu for James Harden? Shooting guard for shooting guard? You can see him all dressed up in this Draft Combine interview.
Oh, and I almost used this photo for James. I think it took me 5 minutes to decide, they were both so good.
The Merely Rich Kids
Pay attention, because if we trade up, the future Spur will be among these guys.

I know I already said it on another thread, but excellent work LD.
I’d expect the Spurs to try trading up to get Jerebko or Casspi as an extra wing, but there really aren’t any big men in the draft that would be helpful to our current needs. It should be fun to watch, though.
Bring back Bruce, and free James Gist!
Pounding the Rock - where RJ happens.
Draft a non-euro small forward
that can play some offense. Use your MLE on a power forward/center. Use the other second rounders (this is without a trade up) to look for a shooting guard who we can develop or bring in immediately in case Manu gets injured again. This way we would have Mason, Hill can play shooting guard, and that third guard. Plus Udoka can play guard. If Finley doesn’t return, than this is a very crucial area of need.
And the final second rounder is where you get your Euro guy to use in three years. Wouldn’t be a Spurs draft without a euro player. But that should be the only one. We need people who can be here when we need them, instead of us waiting two years to be able to use them.

After Griffin and Rubio I think the best player is going to be Harden. In this weak draft players are getting selected on pure athleticism and physical prowess. Not Harden, he seems to have real skill. Me likes.

HI EVERYBODY
Okay, so here are a couple of appetizers before we get into basketball geek mode.
1. My favorite music video ever just get better. Watch this immediately.
2. Watch this brief Youtube clip. It kind of explains my situation in a nut shell.
I’m going to take out that super hot daughter of my dad’s new wife tomorrow night. It’s not a date, just showing her a good time. So since my idea of a good time would be to go to Carl’s Jr., go watch Transformers 2 and then have my carnal way with her, and none of that is going to happen, what should we do? Advice?
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions. Will talk about basketball soon, I promise.

THOUGHTS ON SHAQ TRADE
I’m ecstatic. I love when these Axis-of-Evil unions come together. My least favorite player joins one of my least favorite teams, it’s perfect. The only thing better would’ve been The Big Vagabond joining the Mavs.
These marriages made in hell always work out quite nicely for me. See A-Rod joining the Yankees or T.O. joining the Cowboys for proof. (P.S. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit this, but the other day I watched the first episode of ABC’s “Superstars” reality show, just to see Polish model Joanna Kruppa bitch out Owens for sucking so bad and getting them eliminated and I have to say, it might have been the most delightful 90 minutes of television of 2009).
So yeah, where was I? This won’t end well for the Cavs. Shaq is done. D-U-N done.
First of all, he can’t defend. At all. Remember that whole “master of panic” controversy where Shaq ripped Stan Van Gundy? That mess started after Van Gundy called out O’Neal for flopping shamelessly against D-Ho. And why did he flop, amigos?
BECAUSE HE COULDN’T GUARD HIM ANY BETTER THAN ZYDRUNAS COULD.
Factor in Shaq’s chronic inability and unwillingness to guard the pick-and-roll, and any team with a point guard that can dribble and some shooters (sound familiar?) will be able to score at will against Cleveland.
Meanwhile offensively Shaq’s big ol’ butt will clog the lane and take away LeBron’s routes to the basket, effectively turning him into a reluctant jump-shooter. You think Shaq is going to change his game for anybody? He’s just gonna post up like the mindless cretin he is and demand the ball as always, so he can execute his patented travel/offensive foul/dunk/turnover move.
And in a truly bizarre twist, for the first time since he was like 12, LeBron will have to adjust to the concept of catching and shooting the basketball. I grant you that I haven’t watched every Cavs game these past six years (though Lord knows they’re all on ESPN/TNT/ABC) but I think every jumper he’s taken has been a pull up off the dribble.
But yes, I’m eagerly anticipating watching this awful, wretched experiment crash and burn. And I can’t believe I agree with Tony Kornheiser, but I think this move increases the odds of LeBron leaving Cleveland as a free agent big time. He’ll see how futile it is after this blows up in everyone’s face.

I hope it’s like you say. All I know right now is that Shaq was probably the third or fourth best center in the league last season, and the Cavs didn’t have anyone able to score without BronBron holding their hands. And now they do.
Also, Shaq still requires doubling against most opponents. That’s important.
I hate Kerr. But mostly because of Amar’e.

you need defense to win it all dude. As a Spurs fan you should get this. Miami won with Shaq mostly sitting on the bench and Zo being the backbone to their defense.

Nope. Check the numbers. Check the pace of the Suns. Check how much possesions Shaq spends with the ball in his hands. Check their defense (Brook is somewhat decent, Nene is a great one on one defender)

THOUGHTS ON MAGIC-NETS TRADE
Basically, I liked this move when I thought they were going to keep Hedo. Now that I read more and I came to discover that it’s basically Carter to replace Turkoglu, I like it a lot less.
Apparently Turkoglu wants too much money and Orlando doesn’t think of him that way. Whatever. Mark Jackson just said on TV that Carter is a better passer than Hedo and he’s a fucking nitwit.
I know Hedo isn’t going to NJ, but the trade now looks like Orlando giving up Hedo, Lee and Alston for Carter, plus throw-ins Ryan Anderson and Tony Battie switching teams.
That’s like 2.5 starters for 1, so no thanks. Plus I think at this point in their careers I think Turkoglu’s the best player of all of them, and he fit in perfectly for that offense. They should’ve kept him and kept their team together.
They didn’t lose the Finals because they weren’t good enough, but rather because they weren’t experienced enough. Games 2 and 4 could’ve gone either way. I think it’s a mistake to toss away your second best player for a 32 year-old Carter who won’t give you the passing and pick-and-roll ability of Hedo, or the clutch shooting.
This makes the Magic worse, if you ask me. Between Big Fatass going to Cleveland, Rondo T.O.ing his way out of Boston and this, it’s like no Eastern team wants to be good next year.
I guess the Spurs could play Chicago. That’d be sweet.

STUART SCOTT IS CLOWNSHOES
“So guys, tell me, is there any reason that LeBron plus Shaq doesn’t equal an automatic championship?”
He was like literally stunned when the panel said no. Apparently Scott doesn’t actually watch basketball, just does the studio host/highlight thing. This is the same guy who thought Shaq’s flop against Howard was the first of his career.

Is it possible that the Spurs have been drafting Euros for three years after Parker and Ginobli just to make the rest of the league think it was worthwhile, all the while planning on scooping “lottery caliber” talent deep in the second round of this year’s draft while the rest of the league goes Euro?
Maybe it’s because I watch waaaay too much college b-ball, but spend some time watching this guy play and you’ll agree he’s the perfect complement to Timmeh. He has an insanely high rebound rate with great positioning, has enough post moves to be effective, and is very hard to move off the block. Even though he’s a bit short for the classic 4, he’s used to camping in the post, allowing Timmeh to move out for his patented bank shot. Plus, he’s thick and athletic enough to guard bigger players. I’m soooo fucking stoked, I don’t even have any insults for the bald guy announcing the picks.
We thank you, Bruce.
I love Blair, but can you imagine how many fat jokes we can make this season?

How many Duncan bank shots rim out and became an easy rebound for the opposition because Bonner was planted three miles outside the paint? With Blair? ez2…
Good point. Didn’t think strictly of the offensive rebounding aspect, especially with Timmeh’s bank.
We thank you, Bruce.
I’m really liking our team. We just need a starting big, preferably a C.

nice quote from that article
25.1 / 21.1
The number on the left is Blair’s offensive rebound percentage this year. The number on the right is Colorado’s offensive rebound percentage. Repeat: the number on the right is what the entire Colorado team combined to accomplish this season, rebounding 21 percent of their own misses. Blair by himself hauled in 25 percent of his team’s misses during his minutes. For the record Blair also outperformed Nebraska, Samford, Weber State and Iowa State, among others. He is a team unto himself.
I want my Manu
I’d like it if we traded our last 2 picks for Calathes right about now.

“Are you kidding me? How do these guys fall into San Antonio’s lap? Tony Parker at 29? Ginobili late in the second? Now Blair here? This is a great pick for the Spurs. He may be able to start in San Antonio if Duncan plays the 5. This late in the draft, his knee issues aren’t really much of a risk — he’s just a really cheap rebounder. The Spurs are getting an A+ tonight.” – chad ford

If we all pool our money, then surely we could buy the Grizz, get rip roaring drunk before the draft next year and STILL do better than everyone but RC/Pop, Presti and Pritchard.
We thank you, Bruce.
THINKING OUT LOUD
With four 10+ plus guys on the roster and already over the cap, the Spurs have to save money somewhere, so for once, they can keep second rounders on the roster. Pop might have to give these young guys a chance. Maybe the Hill experience thought him something.
