Spurs Website advocates drafting Rick Jackson
Rick Jackson - PF, Syracuse, 6'9'', 240 lbs.
He is a bruising blue collar type big man. Led the Big East in rebounding, blocked shots and field goal percentage. He's a very smart player, always putting himself in great position to get offensive rebounds, which he did at a very high level at Syracuse. He's a very good passer for a big man as the offense was often run through him and he found cutting guards and open players on the perimeter when the double team came.

Be even better if
it were Tottenham HotSpur that wanted him
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician - The Syracuse blog that cares.
Buy my book "How To Grow An Orange"
He's so tall, he could only play keeper I think.
I mean, Peter Crouch is one of the only people I can think of that is that tall and plays striker.

I love Rick
But isn’t he just a less-skilled DeJuan Blair? Not sure that’s a great fit.
Rick has his flaws
But teams could do much worse. And will.
Hard to pass up an 18-year old Latvian though. Why add a solid player when you can win the draft lottery and play the future star lottery?
Dictated, but not read.
I think Rick will be the type of second round pick that will stick in the league for 10 years.
His basketball IQ and effort will keep him in the league for awhile
I don't want to hurt Rick's draft chances...
since I’m sure all NBA execs read my posts for draft insights, but I don’t remember a lot of this great passing or the offense being run through Rick.
Rick was a very good passer
Perhaps not as good on the receiving end. Could get Butlerfingery.

Yeah he had like 5 different ridiculous full court bouncepasses I remember
But if he was double-teamed in the post, passing was a problem. That can be fixed though
