Were the Spurs the worst team for Wemby to go to in the top 5? (alien.top)

The situation Pop has built is honestly malpractice for Wemby. Every other team in the top 5 would’ve given him proper guard support to get to spots that he could excel. The Sochan experience is a colossal failure and is depriving the fans of enjoying wembys rookie year.

Who have the spurs developed in the past 10 years?

[–] Final-Luck-4222@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Kawhi Leonard - 2 chips, 2 time fmvp, was drafted in 2011 and developed by Spurs.

Dejounte Murray is also balling out

So a player drafted 13 years ago and a guy they traded in year 2. Can’t beat that track record

A guy they got 3 first for in his 2nd year is bad development?

[–] bb1432@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It wasn't his second year. He was on his 2nd contract ffs

[–] bb1432@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

a guy they traded in year 2.

You aren't good at counting, are you?

Dejounte played 6 seasons in SA, was the 29th pick and was an AllStar the year before they traded him lol. They also developed Derozan from an inefficient chucker into one of the best midrange players in the league and at the very least an average playmaker for his position. Also Derrick White who was also pick 29 went from completely unknown bench player to a starter on one of the favorites for the title. Kyle Anderson, 30th pick has developed into one of the best role players in the league. Also developed Poetl from fringe starter/bench rider to one of the better defensive bigs in the league. Danny Green went from a guy who barely played and couldn’t shoot in Cleveland to one of the most sought after role players for a decade and is still somehow in the league at 36. There’s probably more I’m missing.

The Spurs track record is unimpeachable. Pretending it’s not is lunacy.

Lol. How many fmvps has Hornets, Blazers, Rockets and Pistons developed in the last 13 years ? They were the other 4 top picks. Dumbass.

Dejounte Murray, Derek White, and keldon Johnson were all drafted at 29. All three of them great between high level rotation player to borderline All-Star, to actual all-star. Devin Versailles drafted outside the top 10 and definitely goes top six in a redraft. Guys like Jones probably go borderline lottery and he was a second round pick.

Spurs consistently punch above their weight when it comes to draft talent and developing on heralded players and now they actually have a heavy heading draft selection to work with.

That’s without mentioning guys other teams discarded and then got turned into sought after role players by the Spurs like Danny Green and Poetl. Guys who the league thought were garbage/ on their last legs who came to SA and rehabbed their image/ extended their careers like Aldridge, Derozan and Rudy Gay.
