Welcome to the Open Thread. During the month of July, we are talking NBA Draft. As we lead up to the 2021 NBA Draft on July 29th, we will be revisiting the Spurs draft choices. Today we remember 2000.
Although the Spurs owned the 24th pick of the millennial draft, the Bulls had traded up leaving the Spurs to draft Chris Carrawell as the 41st pick, which they had obtained from the Orlando Magic. Carrawell played overseas before playing in the D-League. Despite not making his way into the NBA, Carrawell has maintained a career in basketball and is currently an assistant coach at Duke University.
