....Who really?

What position do the Spurs really need to shore up for next years roster? A backup SF? A sixth man? A power-forward?

Basically, if you're like me and struggle to keep up with college basketball, you have no idea who any of these young college players are when they first get drafted into the NBA (surprise surprise no one does really). So for your enjoyment, I searched the interwebs and compiled a list of every websites prediction on who the Spurs may select with their 26th first round pick.

Enjoy

Who should the Spurs draft with their first round pick? (4/27/2015)
Site Player Measurements Excerpt

Christian Wood PF (UNLV - Sophomore)
19.5 years old | 6'11" | 220 lbs




San Antonio probably wouldn’t use Wood much next season—particularly if 39-year-old Tim Duncan decides to return—but Wood could spend that time rounding out his game, with a D-League stint possibly in store. The 6’11’’ power forward offers an intriguing combination of size and athleticism.

Jordan Mickey PF/C (LSU - Sophomore)
20.8 years old | 6'7" | 234 lbs
Aggressive baller with great athleticism and awesome timing as a shot blocker.

Caris LeVert
PG/SG (Michigan - Junior)
20.6 years old | 6'7" | 200 lbs
While Michigan’s Caris LeVert may never grow into a top scoring option, his good all-around game should make him valuable for a team down the line.
http://sportswire.usatoday.com Justin Anderson
SF (Virginia - Junior)
21.4 years old | 6'6" | 222 lbs
Anderson’s defense has had him on the radar of NBA decision makers for years, but the improvement he showed in his outside shot has given him a shot at the first round.

PG (Louisville - Sophomore)

R.J. Hunter

SG (Georgia State - Junior)
21.5 years old | 6'5" | 180 lbs
Of course the Spurs end up taking the best player available, who figures here to be Hunter. It also doesn't hurt that he'd help to replace two free agents this offseason in Danny Green and Marco Belinelli. Hunter is a bit of a chucker, but he'd fit the motion-heavy Spurs offense and you'd think they can get him to fix that part of his game. Overall, a smart player going to a smart offense.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
SF (Arizona - Sophomore)
20.3 years old | 6'7" | 212 lbs
Hollis-Jefferson probably wasn't even one of Arizona's top two players this season, but he's still somebody who possesses an obvious NBA skill in his ability to guard on the wing. He's most likely a role player at the next level. But he could be a really nice role player for the right franchise.

http://www.thesportsbank.net Jarrel Martin PF (LSU - Sophomore)
20.9 years old | 6'9" | 235 lbs
The former McDonald’s All-American is an inside/outside threat and the Spurs should look to add some young talent to their frontcourt.
http://www.draftexpress.com Delon Wright
PG (Utah - Senior)
23.0 years old | 6'5" | 179 lbs
N/A
http://bleacherreport.com Montrezl Harrell

PF (Louisville - Junior)
21.2 years old | 6'8" | 230 lbs
The Spurs aren't particularly athletic up front. Harrell's ability to pound the glass and pick up easy buckets around the rim could hold value off San Antonio's bench.
http://bleacherreport.com Justin Anderson SF (Virginia - Junior)
21.4 years old | 6'6" | 222 lbs
Anderson's lengthy wingspan and respectable athleticism give him the physical tools necessary to survive in this league. Having shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season on a team that demands a lot from its players, Anderson could be a steal wherever he goes.
http://bleacherreport.com Delon Wright PG (Utah - Senior)
23.0 years old | 6'5" | 179 lbs
He screams "Cory Joseph 2.0."
http://bleacherreport.com Chris McCullough PF (Syracuse - Freshman)
20.2 years old | 6'8" | 195 lbs
The Spurs have the coaching staff to progress him properly, while the second-unit tandem of Boris Diaw and Aron Baynes—assuming San Antonio re-signs the latter—would give McCullough a much-needed year or two to improve out of the spotlight.
http://bleacherreport.com Sam Dekker SF (Wisconsin - Junior)
20.9 years old | 6'9" | 229 lbs

Selecting a non-international prospect flouts San Antonio's preference or trend, excluding a value pick of UCLA's Kyle Anderson at No. 30 last year. But like Wright and McCullough, the Spurs have options in the States.

They're also in desperate need of a backup small forward, and Wisconsin's Sam Dekker would be a tremendous fit on Gregg Popovich's team.

If you guys find any more interesting mock drafts or want to submit your own predictions, list them in the comments below and I'll continue to add them to the as the playoffs go on. We could then come back to this list after the draft and laugh at the world for getting every single prediction wrong (when the Spurs select the next Shaq from Croatia or some random country)

A great source for breakdown videos on all the Top 100 2015 draft prospects can be found here.
