"He was our guy," said Popovich. "We missed him by one or two. We were getting very excited. We figured nobody knew who he was, and it was obvious that nobody knew who he was because he should have gone higher, without a doubt. All of a sudden New Jersey took him, and we were mortified. It was cruel on their part." </div>

How come the Spurs always want international players?

 

[thedude9990]

cause they have scounts always checking there and they know how good they are and no one takes them in early and there the best players at the time
