I'd look for Joe to go late 1st-early 2nd, maybe pick 28 to 35. Luka mid-late 2nd, around 50-ish.
Just a gut based on various mock drafts.
Add Marble and Uthoff as players Fran can sell as having developed into players that saw time in the NBA.If they are both drafted that has to be a big recruiting plus for us. With Tyler Cook, that helps puts refute the claim that Fran can’t develop players for the NBA. And if Keegan blows up next year like we all hope and gets drafted, that’s pretty impressive for a developmental school.
Joe Wieskamp, 6-6 junior guard, Iowa.“He could be a smaller Duncan Robinson. He can really shoot it. He’s longer than you think. He’s a second-round pick, and I think he makes a rotation because he makes shots. Defensively he’s going to struggle. He’s not the toughest kid. Helped himself a lot in Chicago. Shot the ball well, tested well. Got a 6-11 wing span. I would take a chance on him. You wonder if he’s too mild-mannered.”
Luka Garza, 6-11 senior center, Iowa.“He’s a non-athlete and he knows it. Maybe the greatest interview I’ve ever had. He lost 30 pounds. Does that change his ability to rebound and push people off the block? He needs to be a lights-out shooter because all that shit he got away with in the Big Ten will be hard for him to do in our league. He did some workouts in Chicago and he shot the ball very well. All he does is produce. I can’t count him out. He’s not going to get the same usage in the NBA as he did in college, so his ability to do some of the high-motor stuff is going to be important. He has physical limitations defending pick-and-rolls.”
Congrats Joe! Newest Spur.
Wieskamp heading to an awesome organization in the Spurs. I’m positive that they will maximize his talent, if nothing else. Knock em down Joe
I always got the feeling that they were counting on Kawhi to be “the guy” post-Duncan/Ginobli and haven’t been able to recover from his exit. Tried filling the void with DeRozan, but his best days are behind himOrganization is facing some turmoil and hasn't had much success in recent years, will be interesting to see how the come out of this.

Don’t follow the Spurs too closely, but doesn’t seem like there’s been a ton of turnover on their executive team or coaching staff?

Luka’s the guy to take a chance on late in the draft. Skilled player offensively, and will do whatever it takes to be great. Hope he balls out at the next level… and plays serviceable defense tooGreat comments by the analysts for Luka. Go get 'em big guy.
I look forward to NBA Summer League each year, moreso this year.
One of my favorite events each year....was better 10-12 years ago when it wasn't so crowded. I get passes each year now from a friend in the NBA so I can sit away from the common folk. Pistons play the Rockets at 8 PM CST on 8/10.
I love it for the same reason I loved PTL...off season basketball.
