So I was told I need to write things actually. So I decided the NBA draft is coming up tomorrow so here I go. Now that the Spurs have won the championship, we need to figure who they are going to draft for next year to help defend this title.

In my reading I've heard everything about them needing a small forward. My question is Why? I think a center or a Power Forward would be best fro the spurs. Nzar just won't cut it next year in my opinion. Yes the trade was good for the spurs, but honestly if Malik was 7'0 tall would they have traded him? No. Malik was a much better player than Nzar is, just much smaller. I think the Spurs could benefeit greatly from a center that can come in and bang the boards. If hes not taken early I expect the spurs to take Andrew Bynum. 7'0 295 center out of High School. Word on him is he maybe a little too slow to move over and help out on driving guards to the lane. Hits about a 14 foot jumper and decent inside moves.

I know with Luis Scola the Spurs will be having a new Power Forward in the mix. I expect Horry to exercise his option and stay with the club. If the Spurs do grab a Small Forward I think it will be a balanced player someone who can play defense and score as well. I think a Power Forward like Ike Diogu would help. Of course I'm an Arizona State fan, but Diogu can score and I think his defense is enough especially in the Spurs scheme to handle some of the power forwards in the league. Here are some of the picks the experts see in the Spurs possible future:

Ryan Gomes
Andray Blatche
Julius Hodge
