Charlotte Hornets: 2019 NBA Mock Draft Vol. 1

No. 19 – San Antonio Spurs:

Zachary Padmore – Goga Bitadze. (Republic of Georgia)

“Goga Bitadze has been one of the more under-the-radar type prospects in this years draft class. Despite that, he still has to be considered one of the better centers in the class.

He’s just a beast in the paint and has a ton of different moves he uses down low. He’s also been working on extending the range on his jump-shot. His mechanics look good, now it’s just repetition for him moving forward.

San Antonio could use a young front court player to add on the roster, so Bitadze is certainly an option for them.”

Giovanni Spillman – Ty Jerome. (Virginia)

“The Spurs have had some success as of late with Derrick White, but I do not think he has a long future with the team. With the Spurs first rounder, I would suggest they take another guard, such as Ty Jerome.

Jerome has played three seasons at Virginia and has a nice basketball IQ. As a guard, he is a nice scorer and defender, the perfect combination for someone playing for Gregg Popovich.

He is 6’5″, which is good height for a point guard. With a little care, I feel that he can become a productive player for the Spurs.”
