I know 9 might be too high for Eason but he also may not be there at 20 so it all depends on how much they think of him. I like him because I would like to see more size at the Forward position. Sochan would fit there too but he isn't much of a scorer. Now if Sochan could turn into the next Kawhi I would be OK with that.West Texan said:jteagle said:

I like Eason, but I feel like 9 is too high for him. I'm also not a huge fan of Hardy.

Twenty-three years ago on Memorial Day, @seanelliott_32 did the unbelievable and the rest, as they say, is history. #PorVida pic.twitter.com/9Q2gwtFYEq
Quote:
Yes, the Spurs have made draft promises in the past. Their most famous one involved Nicolas Batum in the 2008 draft. The Spurs promised Batum that he'd be their pick at 26. Since Batum was close friends with Tony Parker, he eagerly accepted and stopped working out for other teams. In fact, rival teams believe the Spurs were the source of a draft day rumor that Batum had failed a physical due to a heart defect.
Unfortunately, the Portland Trail Blazers caught wind of San Antonio's promise and traded for the 25th pick and selected Batum. The Spurs ended up taking George Hill at 26 instead.
A more recent example took place in the 2019 draft. According to multiple sources, the Spurs made a draft promise to Jordan Poole at 29. Again, San Antonio's promise became public knowledge throughout the league. Knowing of San Antonio's interest in him, the Warriors scooped up Poole at 28. As it turned out, San Antonio's consolation prize of Keldon Johnson at 29 has worked out well.
Ending that draft with Poole and Keldon would have been amazing.Enzo The Baker said:
Spurs apparently made a promise to Caleb Houstan out of Michigan, likely for one of their later first rounders.
The bottom paragraph makes the Luka pick even more infuriating. Ooof.Quote:

Snyder is widely expected to take a season off and then become one of the NBA’s most coveted coach candidates … and, as we’ve been writing since March, potentially Pop’s successor in San Antonio. https://t.co/Z15OvEhWzP

In a report from @Barlowe500, the Spurs are expected to be active and looking to move up in the draft.

San Antonio is not expected to bring in four rookies into training camp and thus wants to "consolidate their picks via trade."https://t.co/uGcNX9fFBk
True, what makes best available interesting is that many times the Spurs "best available" isn't the same as the experts "best available".Enzo The Baker said:
Rumors that other teams expect Spurs to take a big at 9. Williams or Duren the most likely. In reality no one knows what we are going to do. Will definitely be disappointed if we don't take best available though.

Shaedon Sharpe tells me got solid feedback in his workout with Spurs, would like to play in San Antonio. Tells me he feels he can showcase what he can do in SA. #porvida #nba75

I saw that. I think he would be a good fit. Would be nice to see them get a deal done.Enzo The Baker said:
Fischer reporting that the Spurs and Pacers are trying to move up to 4 for Keegan Murray.
Enzo The Baker said:
I think he'd be a good fit as well. A top 4 pick on a near 22 year old is a little questionable though.
West Texan said:Enzo The Baker said:

That's what worries me the most. I think he's going to be a solid NBA player, but I think he's pretty close to his ceiling already. I'd almost rather take a chance on Ivey if we get up to 4 just because I think he's got all star potential, even if his fit is questionable with our current roster.

That whole age bias is so bogus. A decent scout should be smart enough to see if the guy was only having success in college because he was older. Players can improve well into their 20s.
