San Antonio Spurs Draft Prospect: Petr Cornelie

A player who the Spurs should think about drafting at number 29 if available is French power forward/center Petr Cornelie.

The Spurs currently have two of the most accomplished French players of all time on their roster in Tony Parker and Boris Diaw.

Both Parker and Diaw played in the LNB Pro A, the French league that Cornelie is in right now.

Cornelie plays for a team called Le Mans Sarthe Basket, which boasts NBA player Nicolas Batum as a former member.

Batum played on the team before jumping to the NBA, which is solid evidence of the team’s ability to produce a player who can translate into an effective NBA contributor.
