Eh. Keldon has a chance to be a nice player. We love DJM, but because of injury and his inability to shoot, he's not anything special. Slightly above-average and he'll need to take the next step now. White is a nice get but again injuries have really taken their toll and he's older for a prospect (already 27). But look at the first rounders for the Spurs since our last contender.
Slo-mo -- Nice role player. Nothing special but has carved out a nice career. Good bench guy.
Milutinov -- Trapped in Europe and reportedly hasn't gotten much better. Traded as part of a deal to get a future 2nd rounder. Total failure.
DJM -- Discussed above. A big knee injury has interrupted his progression. Big year for him but we already committed a 2nd contract to him.
White -- Discussed above. Shown big flashes but injured and older. May never be more than a good player off the bench for a contender.
Walker -- High hopes as his ceiling is immense but has only shown intermittent flashes and right now is a pretty poor and inefficient player. Big year for his development.
Samanic -- Wasted pick. Total bust for the Spurs.
Johnson -- Thus far, the best pick we've had in 7 years. He's pretty much played over his expected production and could be a really nice player.
Vassell -- TBD. I like him as a good 3 and D dude.
Primo -- TBD. Very young.
We've picked at 11, 12, 18, 19 and then back half of the 20's/30.
We've hit on no player in the 2nd round. FWIW, our first in 2013, LJ-C (28th pick), looks like a total bust too.
Maybe we need to stop giving the front office props for picks 20 years ago other than Kawhi. Other than him and after Parker, the best guys we've drafted our Tiago (role player) and George Hill. Now, we were contenders for most of this time so it's expected that some wash out, but man, we're not great in the draft room. We're just not and haven't been since the late 90's/early 00's. Kawhi will wash away a lot of failures and to get a top 10 player at 15 should be lauded and has been. But that was a decade ago and he's on his 3rd team in the NBA. It's why myself and others have really encouraged a total rebuild job rather than going for the 8 seed the last 3-4 years. We haven't done much with our good players we got in UFA/FA (LMA, DD, etc) in turning them around for future value and we haven't proved to be good in the draft. Need to get top 10 picks...... like most teams. Regardless, you shouldn't be arguing, but you should be concerned. We're not better than the average team at drafting. Always the Sacramento and Orlando's of the world who are really bad at it.
