A draft that many anticipated to be hectic lived up to its billing on Thursday, as nine picks changed hands in the first round alone. Some teams reached, some openly looked to trade up or down, projected lottery picks slipped down the board, and it was all maybe a bit too much delirium for a Spurs fanbase that was bracing itself for a big splash at 19, or sooner.
The Spurs, true to form, took a more muted approach, neither swinging for one of the lottery talents who fell to them or getting in the mix for the many picks that were moved.
