I’ll be honest — a few minutes after making my first pick in this year’s Ridiculous Upside mock draft, even after giving it a good deal of thought, I found myself second-guessing it. That has nothing to do with Grant Williams, who I think is a fine choice there in a vacuum, but more to do with the various ways the Spurs can play draft night out. With 12 players already under contract for next year (excluding Rudy Gay, who they’re expected to attempt to re-sign), and three picks in the 2019 draft (19, 29 and 49), one would think PATFO would try to put themselves in a more flexible position by either packaging picks in an attempt to move up in the draft (assuming they really like a late-lottery talent) or skewing towards draft-and-stash targets.
