2008 NBA Draft Grades: San Antonio Spurs

Transactions

  • Selected George Hill 26th overall.
  • Selected Goran Dragic 45th overall and traded his rights to Phoenix for the rights to Malik Hairston (48th overall), a future second round draft pick, and cash.
  • Selected James Gist 57th overall.

It’s a little alarming that San Antonio didn’t go with Mario Chalmers, but who’s to question an R.C. Buford draft pick? Hill is extremely athletic, can shoot the ball, and can give San Antonio a scoring burst off the bench. It’ll be interesting to see if Hill was the right choice.

Grade: C
