Might as well just hand it over to the Whorenets now.

They have taken our hearts - might as well take our souls.

Give me the best shooter in college basketball per 40 minutes, Doron Lamb. He would be an excellent piece off the bench behind Hendo and can also double as a PG if need be. Also a good defender.

Randomly throwing this out there but I really like Darius Miller. Dude saved UK's butts on many occasion. Has size, can shoot, does a little of everything.

Shooters like Doron Lamb, Jenkins, etc would be cool too but I'm not sure they'd be good enough stay on an NBA roster, even ours.

Depends on who we take with the 6th and 11th picks

I like Lamb, Barton, or Kuzmic at 31. I actually think we can find a solid pickup with this pick -- people may not remember, but Jeremy Tyler was a hell of selection last year... I was pissed we traded him

We should draft whatever player Cho's database indicates is the best available relative to suggested value.

I like John Jenkins and D Lamb.

BPA I guess
President of the Quinn Cook Fan Club

Bradley Beal has D Wade potential

Mike Scott out of Virginia isn't a bad player. Not sure he'd fit if we kept White though.

I'm hoping for an epic fall for someone like PJIII or Melo or Waiters or something.

You take BPA in the second round as statistically almost no one in the round pans out.

If no one drops, my personal preference is for O'Quinn and Murphy. Sounds like an Irish law firm.

relative to suggested value? At that slot, the value is a constant. Unless you mean for trading purposes?

We'll probably sell it for cash anyway

There have been some pretty productive players drafted at the bottom of the 1st/top of the 2nd. The Spurs have killed it drafting in that spot over the years. We need to do our homework and pick the guy that fits in best with how our new coach wants to play. First things first though, we need our new coach asap.

You actually want to trade the two an almost certain to be second or third option on a good team for two role players? I would think that you would go along with the guys who want to trade it to Minnesota for Derrick Williams first.

The Spurs have been building around Tim Duncan. It becomes remarkably easy to build the rest of your team once you have a hall of fame big man to center around.

At the 31 my wish list is as follows:
1. Dorron Lamb- As someone already said the best three point shooter in college basketball. Nix if we somehow get Austin Rivers.
2. Festus Ezeli- Best biggest bigman left on the board
3. Package in a trade for second first rounder.

Since we got no love in the Lottery, we are owed something. Would love to see Jeff Taylor SF from Vandy fall to us at #31. Solid scorer, good rebounder, and a lockdown defender. He would be a steal at #31 if he somehow slips.
