Hold up, Winslow was not the safe low ceiling pick at the time. Going into the draft he was expect to be a top 5 pick, and the fact he fell to the Heat was seen to be a steal. I remember Bill Simmons complaining that we got him like it was yesterday. He was expected to have Kawhi/Jimmy/Iguadola potential, especially after his season at Duke. He had a SLAM cover with Dwade!


Oh? Rex knows. He was Winslows most vocal enthusiast when he was drafted. Lots of CAP LOCKS were used in his reaction post.


Yup, thought we got a STEAL.

Never knew we never worked him out and that he had the shooting touch of Captain hook. Plus was weak mentally and fragile.

It was a weird draft full of lottery busts, but Myles Turner and D.Booker went right after Justice, and...we went with the safe pick and it backfired.

Turner next to Bam would've been sweet AF. Was very high on him.

At least we didn't draft Kaminsky.


We talking about Turner and Booker, but the hype in this room was Sam Dekker (the mythical stretch 4).

not suggesting there's a sure stud at #1 this draft, but still nice to have all options available

Hawks could jump us next year

Was looking at RS records just now. Looks like they probably jumped from 11th to 1st.

As long as we get a top 3 pick next year, we should be good.

Fair to say the picks I’ve hated (Bam, Herro) have far exceeded expectations, and the picks I’ve loved (Winslow, Achiuwa) didn’t.

I trust our scouting department to find the right fit for the team. Positional needs is secondary to me. Just get the right talent and person to join the roster, we can figure out the rotation later.

Does anyone have any scouts to listen to? The ones I listen to are scaring me away from Ware and Filipowski and I want a second opinion.

Spurs get 4 and 8 to supplement their rebuild.

They will likely get another top pick next year.

Spurs culture-tank extremely well.
