By some unofficial counts, no team sent more observers to the league’s annual prospect tire-kicking than the contingent from San Antonio.
And for good reason.
For the first time in club history, the Spurs will have three first-round picks in the June 23 draft. It marks only the third time in team annals the Spurs will have more than one first-round draft slot.

Sure makes sense - we have more representatives to cover more players throughout the draft range as we have three picks. But of course some part of me thinks however irrationally that we're going to make some sort of a splash.
If we do, I'm sure we know this info already, but good for fans to know as well. Kind of surprising where some players project on both ends:
Stats sometimes belie the eye test, sometimes confirm it. A player like Patrick Baldwin has great measurables, for example, but had a poor season and his stats on both ends present concerns. There are other RAMP stat tweets in that thread. Tari Eason and Jake LaRavia present well. I expected to see Mathurin on the positive O list but he's not there anywhere. Doesn't mean any conclusions can be made of each player, just adds to the body of info to consider for players fans either really like or haven't considered.
