Don't ask me for the exact source, but I recall a journalist on twitter saying that Raynaud specifically wanted to go to Sacramento. In the second round players have more leverage, he might have asked other teams for more money/guarantees than he did Sacramento, or asked them to pass on him outright (like VanVleet, Reaves, etc). But I don't think he just flew under the radar all the way to 42 by chance.
Kevin had good elbows though; ask Scott Williams.
i doubt he would of threw a tantrum being drafted by the spurs.Spurs also could of gave him a nba guarantee contract.Some mocks had maxime
It's not about throwing a tantrum, he's a close friend of Wemby and he's represented by the same agency, if they so much as hinted they'd like him to play elsewhere, Spurs wouldn't force the issue at all. Of course I'm not claiming inside knowledge, simply stating what I've read plus common sense based on similar past situations.
OKC still has the JDub predicament lingering as well. He hasn't looked good this year (by his standards), they will want to get him spun up in time for the playoffs. Unlike some, I do think they are likely still the favorites even with a compromised JDub (assuming Ajay Mitchell is healthy).
I'm sure you're right. I'm old AF so I probably just forgot.Thought the team used to tease him about it. May be wrong.
Willis was one of those guys who was so athletic, and could hold his space so well that he didn't need long arms to rebound. Position and strength. Old school basketball.
I remember some thing on like NBA TV or something where they had a strong man competition where they were benching some ridiculous amount of weight to see who could do it the most times and Kevin Willis and Charles Oakley both did it like 45 times or some crazy shit.
