Gran Canaria has such a fine track record with NBA bigs: Ryan Richards comes to mind...
As does Walter Tavares...
That said, I like that the two Latvians in the league play with balls.
This is the guy I want Spurs to draft at 29. Very athletic for his size, is a great PnR finisher inside as he keeps the ball high and finishes strong. Fast and quick for a big man, can run the floor and has lateral quickness to defend switches. I like this kid more than Milutinov.
Him or Jordan Bell from Oregon.

Not sure he is better right now then Milutinov will be next season I think this kid is a draft and stash for two or three years. But yeah I would pick him if he is available.

Anzejs Pasecniks
C, Gran Canaria
Draft status: Automatically eligible
The San Antonio Spurs have seemingly made a seamless transition into the Kawhi Leonard era, but the collection of big men that they have relied upon this season could use an upgrade. 21-year old Anzejs Pasecniks could help either as a draft-and-stash option or as someone who could come over to reinforce the ranks next season. The 7-foot-2 center is averaging 7.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game across all compe ions for Gran Canaria in 2016-17.
Pasecniks isn’t a floor-spacing big man, but he otherwise fits the modern game well. He is a terrific pick-and-roll diver who operates well in space, has nice footwork and finishes consistently at the rim. That skill set will play well in a league that relies so heavily on the pick-and-roll. Pasecniks also has some offensive upside. He’s made 8-of-17 3-pointers this season and might eventually be able to expand his game out to become a reasonable 3-point threat.
Defensively, his fluidity and athleticism gives him the ability to stay in front of some smaller players, opening up options for a head coach in pick-and-roll defense. His rim protection for a 7-foot-2 center is not elite, but he does have a 4.9 percent block rate and should provide at least some resistance at the rim.

29. San Antonio Spurs: C Anzejs Pasecniks, Latvia
The Spurs have a tendency to do two things with their annual late first-rounder: take the guy everyone was stunned to see slip to them or go with a foreign player. Pasecniks is a 7-2 giant who has been hyped in certain NBA circles for years, in part because he’s older than a lot of the top European prospects.

Oh, look, another international afterthought who will probably become productive in San Antonio. He can move well for a player his size and can get to the hoop without a problem. He is also likely to be Pau Gasol’s replacement.

Anzejs Pasecniks
C, Gran Canaria
I’m not sure anymore if the Spurs just know which foreign guys are going to become really good or if those foreign guys become good as soon as the plane touches down in San Antonio. Regardless, I have high hopes for Anzejs Pasecniks.
Pasecniks runs to the rim with all the force that his 7-foot-2 frame contains. He can move well on defense, but he has a ways to go toward understanding what’s happening in front of him. Pop should help with that.
On offense, it’s unclear how far out he’ll be able to stretch his game, but with everything else that he brings, a 3-point shot would be pretty gravy.
Hes head and shoulders better than Milutinov.
Not close
I don't think the Spurs Will take a center with Mulitinov but we'll see
I think Manu that he will get picked before our pick but Bell will drop in our lap.
7'2" and he can barely dunk. No thanks.
I don't know his contract situation but looks like he definitely has potential with his size and shooting. I'm a fan.
Someone will fall in love with him bc of Porzingus and Bertans
Dang this dude looks impressive. If we go the draft and stash route to go after Paul, I'd take him. Has more upside than Milutinov. Pick and pop or pick in roll is very valuable and the mobility and length, could be a two way player. Also development with the national team every summer... huge value here
I am thinking he goes between 18 and 25.
Agree, think we'd have to trade up
