I prefer the term "BIG" and my ideal version for us is someone who can play both PF and C. I know this like wanting to have your cake and eat it to in some respects, but that's why I landed on Morez Johnson Jr as my preferred pick. He's sometimes listed as a wing for some reason, but I don't see that at all. Dude listed 6'9" 250 and allegedly has a 7'3" reach (the combine measurements may impact my viewpoint here.)
He can bang around, set screens, offer good rim protection, and also I do believe there is some shooting upside to be found, potentially. (78% ft/33% 3 on low volume.) He's a terrible playmaker but we have a gazillion of those already. If Wemby or Kornet goes down, he becomes the "small ball" center (6'9" isn't *that* small with his reach, and he's bigger than Carter), but he can also be subbed in at PF very comfortably. Others have commented that they haven't seen enough of his perimeter defense chops to be convinced, but at the very least he has the reputation of being able to switch and hold his own easily.
That said, I've watched him play like 40 minutes in total. I haven't (and likely won't) do a deep dive on our draft options this year but he sort of sticks out as someone who may be available and can kinda slide into a role I think we need. At pick 20 we're going to be gambling anyway, but since we're already a contender, it's like gambling with house money in a way. This is the very first time in a long time that I've ever felt the Spurs should draft for fit rather than BPA (unless we're particularly high on someone.)
