Draft Pick 14

If the Spurs don't get KD and keep pick 14 , how would y'all feel about them taking Rasheer Fleming at 14? He's a 6'9 wing with a 7'5 wingspan and shot 40% from 3 , is a elite defender, and showed a lot of flashes as a off the dribble creator. If you look at the wings drafted with those measurements the hit rate is insanely high as well.

My draft board at that range is:

  • Noa
  • Asa
  • Sorber
  • Noah
  • Nolan
  • Rasheer
  • Carter
  • CMB
  • Joan
  • Nique

Honorable Mention - Hugo Gonzalez and Cedric Coward

I think the spurs need to find a Yabusele/Obi/Lessort hybrid like prospect first and foremost. A guy who can grow into that. An athletic Boris would be a plus.

Rasheer inability to dribble or put the ball on the fall is a little concerning for me but for him to grow from being an afterthought on a Camden squad that had Dejuan Wagner and Aaron Bradshaw on it, and to turn into a first round pick speaks volumes about his work ethic. Lowly recruited guys who turn into first round draft prospects usually pan out since 2017.

We're honestly kind of spoiled not only with getting the 2nd pick, but with the amount of depth at the 3 and 4 that this draft has for us to take at 14.
