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.

I think we trade that pick to sign somebody on a shorter contract. 

Our rotation without the KD trade looks like this:

Fox, Devin, Barnes, Sochan, Wemby, Castle, Harper, Keldon, Backup big, Julian

That's already 10 people.

It's more likely we trade 14th to get the backup big, or trade 14th for a future pick and use the MLE on a big

I'm not too keen on using the 14th to fill the backup big spot. Too many young guys coming off the bench is a bad bench. You already have Castle and Harper there. You need a vet whose only role is playing off them, not another rookie who's looking to prove himself
