Welcome to the Daily Thread. During the month of June, we are talking NBA Draft. As we lead up to the 2018 NBA Draft on June 21st, we will be revisiting the Spurs draft choices. Today we remember the 2017 NBA Draft.
After coming off the first season without Tim Duncan, the Spurs sported a 61-21 record which landed them the 29th and 59th spots. In typical “steal of the draft” style, PATFO chose Derrick White, the first senior of the draft. The overlooked University of Colorado product offered versatility, height offering the ability to play either guard position, and a solid 3-point shot.
