I bet you that the list would be huge ... With the way our team is constructed, we will be drafting late in the draft for next few years. This is the tool that has to help us get better.
One of the things that Spurs are praised for is how they can get talent late in the draft and use them to keep themselves competitive.
If you have the logic that well, 20 pick are not usually good and if we miss, so what, we miss !!! Then might as well, trade that pick for teams who value draft and get some player. Guess who used to do that Our very OWN RR favourite for 7 years, Mr.BC.
Lets look at some of their picks past No 15:
2011 -Cory Joseph No 29 -Jurry still out
2010 -James Anderson No 20 (Is he in NBA?)
2009 -D Blair No 37 -Great choice, passed by many bec of bad knees.
2005 -I Mahimi No 28 -decent back up & typical production for that spot;
1998 -Felipe Lopez No 24
1995 -C Alexader No 29
1994 -Bill Curley No 22;
As you can see -sometimes they find T Parker or Manu late, but there are a lot of duds as well.
My point was that if you go safe with BPA, you are likely to get average production for that spot (which is not much). Or you can take a gamble, knowing if it works, you are a genius, if not, you already have a Steve Novak or Tyler or... that can give you that 5.2 pts, 2.8 RB or whatever you get out of 9,10 man on your roster.
The only guy, I can think of that we drafted after lottery with decent value & production was Mo Pete. Beyond him, nothing doing. Lets wait & see.
He can hardly turn out much worse than J Graham (No 16 in 2005), K Rush (No 20 in 2002), M Bradley (No 17 in 2001), C Jefferies (No 27 in 2002)...
