The San Antonio Spurs have the 28th pick in the NBA Draft... which player should they take?

Petteri Koponen

He probably has the best chance at being drafted here....just because it's the Spurs picking. For the last few years, they have been in love with international players...just look at their draft history -- Mahinimi, Udrih, Barbosa, Parker... I know next to nothing about Koponen, but he has been doing very well in workouts. Other than Koponen, there is no other international player really worth the pick here. Marc Gasol, in my opinion, is a second rounder for sure. So, based on the logic that the Spurs will pick another international player like they almost always do the last few years, they take Koponen, the highest rated international player remaining. =]

He would help with the PG depth issues as he's supposed to be one of those pass first PGs.

1.) Chicago-Rose 2.) Miami-OJ 3.) Minnesota-Beasly 4.) Seattle-Bayless 5.) Memphis-Randolph 6.) New York-Love or possible trade with suns 7.) LA Clippers-Gordan 8.) Milwaukee-Lopez 9.) Charlotte-Alexander 10.) New Jersey-Galinari 11.) Indiana-westbrook 12.) Sacramento-DeAndre 13.) Portland-Donte Green 14.) Golden State-Speights 15.) Phoenix-DJ Augustin suns need a point gaurd 16.) Philadelphia-Aurther 17.) Toronto-Batum...but he might stay in euro leage 18.) Washington-Kosta 19.) Cleveland-Hibbert 20.) Denver-Mcgee 21.) New Jersey-Chalmers 22.) Orlando-Brandon Rush 23.) Utah-Lopez 24.) Seattle-Ibaca 25.) Houston-Anderson 26.) San Antonio-Jason thompson 27.) New Orleans-Roberts 28.) Memphis-Jawai 29.) Detroit-Hickson 30.) Boston-Ajinca

a good pick here would be Taurean Green. Coaches and scouts really liked the way he played at the orlando camp and coach pop even said he was really impressed with green underacheiving skills. He gets lost in the blur with the other gator players but without him they would not have been as successfull without their point guard finding the players in the right spots. Hes a smart tough point guard with championship experience and will back up parker nicley since udrich has fallen out of favor with popovich. Green loves big game situations which is something the spurs always manage to get to. He preffers to slow down tempos so he would make a nice fit with the spurs half court offense.

with finley about to retire any season now, they need a SF. dudley is a great pick for them. he has lots of potential and has all the intangibles and leadership skills that most players dont have. he is a passionate guy and would fit well with pop. arron afflalo is overrated and he isnt even a very good shooter, which is what he is supposed to be best at. look when ucla played florida, he sucked horrible and that was against a college team. can you imagine how bad he would be in the nba?

The buzz is for Petteri Koponen from Finland. They want a big point guard so they can trade Udrih.

I'd probably go for Daequan Cook or Jared Dudley here though.

Because Tim Duncan is their only true threat down low, i would pick Aaron Gray to take some of the load off Duncan's shoulders.

I would take Arron Afflalo because he has proven he could be a leader and scorer on a very good UCLA team the last 2 years

Aaron Afflalo. I saw this guy play, he's amazing

taurean green...they need some one to back up tony...beno isn't cutting it
