Ja Morant was on the trading block and the response was we’re fine in the west and the east.

Even on draft night everyone knew it was dumb as fuck to take him instead of Sengun.

Not true. There were plenty of people who thought Primo would turn out to be a better pick than Sengun.

I agree KJ seems to have embraced SA moreso. Jermey appears to have no market so it's irrelevant if he wanted to leave or not bc he has no where to go and better make the most of it with the Spurs.

People still believing Sochan isn't good because of his attitude. He isn't good because he doesn't have the skills.

Really?

You son of a bitch, I'm in.

I don't understand this post. You can't possibly be suggesting the Spurs trade for Blac McClung.

No, no one really thought Primo was better than Sengun. But pretty much the entire league passed on Sengun, even Presti, who traded him to Houston.

Feels like a lot of guys missed the boat on Sengun, but for all his numbers, he hasn't really impacted winning that much. Can he be taught to play defense? Even without the weird sexual problems, Primo may be the worst spurs pick of all time.

and 100% of those people were in the spurs front office

We've talked about this before. The theory is that the Spurs just weren't used to picking high and they traditionally didn't pick guys that they didn't work out first, not realizing that lottery picks don't typically agree to work out. That's kind of the only thing that makes sense because that pick was insane.

The last time the Spurs made a pick that stupid they traded it for Sean Elliott.

We have no idea how Primo would have turned out. No idea.

Sengun was an All-Star last year. He's a good player, but is getting exposed a bit right now. I have no idea why the Spurs passed on him, but they did along with like fourteen other teams. The best player available was Trey Murphy III, but he was kind of shitty at Virginia.

But honestly it's getting tired going over this stuff over and over. Every team in the league has whiffs. OKC just got rid of Ousmane Dieng, who was a bad pick. They had Pokushevski, who was a bad pick. Only Spurs fans think we're supposed to hit every single one when nobody does.

No. The draft had pretty much dried up at that point and Primo showed promise. He was playing point for a good Alabama team and looked good at the Combine. He had good size and combination of skills.

It's just stupid to say it was a terrible pick. Was it a surprising pick? Yeah, of course. But it's hardly this devastating thing. That's just being revisionist. I mean, teams have done worse, like Jett Howard or Hood-Schifino or dozens of others around that range.

Primo was a main ball handler with size and maybe vision. There was a time when the spurs needed an alpha talent . Primo had a small chance to be a starting PG in like year 5. But he would never be athletic enough to be a star.

Picking sengun means no wemby cAstle or harper. So let that ship sail. Sengun is good for a? Fringe playoff contender at most.

 

[pad300]

Really?

Yep, I had proposed Sengun, and was bitching about the pick. TiMVP was arguing for, as he thought Sengun wouldn't be able to translate his success from the Turkish league...

bruh stop trying to rationalize it. he measured 6'4 189 pounds. solid size but lets not talk like he was castle or something when it comes to size

he averaged 8ppg in college and less than 1 assist per game, shooting 43% from the field. it was an absolute joke of a pick

nobody had primo going in the lotto at all. he was a fringe first rounder. Ringer had him 27 on their board. espn/givony mocked him going #28. CBS had him going #32. vecenie had him #34 on his board.

Yeah he handled balls alright. His own. That was the problem.

That's not somebody thinking Primo was better than Sengun.

It WAS a terrible pick. How terrible? The Spurs very well could have gotten Primo with their next pick.
