Charlotte Hornets: 2019 NBA Mock Draft Vol. 1

No. 29 – San Antonio Spurs (VIA TOR):

Zachary Padmore – Admiral Schofield. (Tennessee)

“Picking a guy like Admiral Schofield late in the first round just seems like something that the Spurs would do. Schofield, a projected second rounder by many, could be a major steal for the Spurs, and they have a track record of success in the draft.

Schofield is a tough forward/guard that can really shoot it. He comes into this draft NBA ready, and with his body and shooting ability, it would not surprise me to see him in an NBA rotation early into his career.

He reminds me a little bit of Utah’s Jae Crowder. He’s undersized, but he can shoot it and he plays intense defense. I think he would be a great target for not only the Spurs, but for all playoff teams picking late in the first round.”

Giovanni Spillman – Tacko Fall. (UCF)

“The Spurs are a team that likes to go after defensive players. With the Spurs final first round pick, I think they will take Tacko Fall.

Fall is a prospect that is on the rise after his most recent game against Duke in the NCAA Tournament. He averaged 11.1 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. He also finished the season with a whopping 2.6 blocks per game.

While he does not possess an outside game, I feel that he can be a dangerous player in the paint. The Spurs are a defensive and physical team, and I feel that Fall would fit nicely in the paint with Aldridge.

There is potential here that Coach Popovich can mold into a great player.”
