Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs have plenty of assets to use in the coming months to make moves ...

The Spurs could also use one of those picks to punt for a 2023 pick, which is a class predicted to be loaded with talent. In addition to their 9th pick, San Antonio has the 20th, 25th, and 38th picks in June's draft to work with, so any combination of those can be used to tempt a team that's looking for quantity over quality. Since it's the Spurs, we're not going to hear any leaks of intents on draft night, so the most we can do is make an educated guess on what makes the most sense for them.

The Spurs may not have been satisfied with the ninth pick, but Davis sees a potential fit for his NBA future.

While his strength is centered around attacking the lane, these openings won't be easily available at the NBA level. He failed to reach double-digits in only one game, scoring four points in a 51-49 Wisconsin win in early February. Despite leading Wisconsin in the scoring column with 17 points, Davis struggled in the loss, shooting 4-16 from the field, 0-7 from deep, and committing four turnovers. Davis was simply one of the best players in college basketball this past season. One pre-lottery mock draft from NBC Sports actually had Davis heading to San Antonio at 10th overall. Johnny Davis

On the day of the 2022 NBA Draft, Duren is going to be one of the youngest prospects in his class. Other common projections for the Spurs include Johnny Davis ...

At 6-6, 175, Ellis' lengthy frame and size could give the Spurs another intriguing prospect with high 3-and-D potential. The Raleigh, FL. native averaged 13.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game last season while leading the Tigers with 69 makes from 3-point range. The only downside to Ellis is his low assist numbers. Aside from red-shirting in the 2017-2018 season at Tulsa, Horne has played in 29 or more games in each collegiate season he's played in. But with respectable NBA size at 6-7, 205 and a pro-level face-up scoring ability, Horne has received understandable interest from the Spurs. Days, who started all 33 games he played in for the Tigers last season, provides ideal stretch-big ability that San Antonio desperately needs. Factor in his shot-blocking ability and he has some solid two-way upside to anchor a unit that features Dejounte Murray at the point of attack. He specializes in doing the dirty work on both ends of the floor and showcased this with averages of 12.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks in 25.3 minutes per game at Memphis. Other common projections for the Spurs include Johnny Davis and Jeremy Sochan. He had seven double-doubles this season and scored a season-high 23 points on 10-13 shooting in Kansas' 85-59 win over West Virginia on Jan. 15. He appeared in all 63 possible games with Tulsa, starting in 23 of them. He also added six rebounds and three assists.

Tottenham Hotspur's season ended on high note as they were able to secure the fourth and final Champions League spot ahead of their bitter rivals Arsenal.

Paddy Power has demonstrated its ability to think outside the (lasagne) box yet again after staging a 'suspect delivery' at Tottenham Hotspur's ground this ...

Unappetizing reviews of the lasagne include a vivid report from a Mr W.Enger, who estimates the putrid dish goes from plate to bowl in 90 minutes. And, with a trip to rock-bottom Norwich being the smallest final-day hurdle known to man, their qualification looks nailed on. Poorly camouflaged in pristine chef whites, the suspicious characters were seen scurrying into a service entrance in a none-too-subtle nod to the 2005/6 ‘lasagne-gate’ scandal, which saw the dodgy Italian meal scupper the team’s Champions League hopes after many players went down with food poisoning.

Tottenham's Top-Four Finish at Arsenal's Expense Could Result in Gap Between Rivals ... Spurs finished just two points above its North London rival for a coveted ...

Take a step back and there is a sense of a club on the rise. This is a young squad and there have been clear signs of progress. And that perhaps has been the most encouraging aspect of the run-in, that Spurs have begun to look like a Conte side, overwhelming opponents. Conte, though, could be at Paris Saint-Germain by the start of next season, with the blood-letting in Paris likely to begin this week after it was confirmed that Kylian Mbappé will stay at the club. For Arsenal, meanwhile, there is the sense of a great opportunity wasted. Tottenham and Arsenal both finished the season with a flourish, scoring five goals apiece in wins over Norwich City and Everton, but what really mattered were the two games before that.

When Nuno Espirito Santo was fired in November, months after he was hired to lead Spurs, this team could've gone plenty of different ways. But, perhaps, only ...

Entering a critical summer, everything possible must be done to ensure that Spurs' golden manager stays in charge as he has already shown a taste of what he can do without the team even having a preseason under him. Decisions need to be made on the outside back positions and Ben Davies can't be expected to perform at this level as in the left center-back position for an entire season next year but selling Champions League soccer is always easier than selling the hope of it. Fabio Paratici is very aware of Conte's ways and can help ensure that if a target can't be afforded on Spurs' budget that someone comparable can be added. Conte's machine became a team that could beat you in many different ways and their return to Champions League is a signal that better days are on the horizon. There was doubt that this would be a relationship that worked as Levy prefers shopping in the bargain bin while Conte wants top shelf additions -- and some of those questions are still there entering the summer window -- but with that Champions League platform now there (and the extra money that goes along with it), the hope is that Spurs now can offer what Conte's transfer targets are looking for. After a summer window that saw them flit from name to name in their search to replace Jose Mourinho, almost appointing Gennaro Gattuso as manager before finally settling on Nuno, had Spurs got it wrong yet again when Nuno was fired it would have been disastrous.

In comments made after Sunday’s win, Conte said: “I am a person who has ambition and I like to fight for something important, to lift a trophy. As such, Gold’s claim that the 60-year-old chairman looks as if he will back his coach this summer is undoubtedly fantastic news for everyone involved with the Tottenham, as Conte has proven this season that he is capable of taking Spurs to the next level in the upcoming campaign. For me, [qualifying for the Champions League] is a trophy & I’m very happy.

According to Foot Mercato, Tottenham Hotspur hold a serious interest in snapping up Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. Lewandowski has just 12 months ...

Despite the Catalan giant’s financial issues, they will likely be able to afford the 33-year-old, given that he has only 12 months left to run on his contract at the Allianz Stadium. Lewandowski has just 12 months left on his contract with Bayern, with 90 min reporting last week that the striker has indicated to the Bundesliga giants he will not be signing a new contract and wants to leave this summer. Foot Mercato have now also backed up the claim regarding Lewandowski’s wish to move to Barca, stating that the striker is attracted to the idea of playing in the Camp Nou and living in the Catalonian capital.

Vassell did a good job as a role player for the 2021/22 Spurs, but can he be more than that? His third year should offer some answers.

Even if he doesn’t become a go-to scorer any time soon, bringing more consistent three-point shooting from all over the floor — he shot much better from the right side last year — and continuing to develop on the defensive end would be enough to keep the fanbase excited in his third year. Vassell has already shown that he can be a solid role player, but can he be elite on either end, or at least very good on both? If the Spurs go with a more traditional power forward next to two wings, Vassell will likely stay at shooting guard for the foreseeable future, as long as he starts, and would only be asked to occasionally move up a spot to small forward. It’s a big season for Vassell, as he will be eligible for an extension in the summer of 2023. There were not many flashes of potential greatness in his sophomore campaign, but considering he’s still just 21-years-old and has already shown the ability to be a two-way force even as a starter, it was a successful year for him. Unfortunately, a hamstring injury sidelined him for five games in late November, and he struggled upon his return, as his outside shot — his biggest tool to help on offense — abandoned him for a while.

The Italian has repeatedly stated that Tottenham need to substantially invest if they are to be able to compete domestically with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool, and with Europe’s elite clubs. With the campaign over, Conte is enjoying a holiday in Italy and will speak to Levy and Paratici in the coming days. Chairman Daniel Levy is expected to offer Conte a clutch of new signings, including established, experienced players.

Here is your Spurs digest on Tuesday, May 23. Spurs eye Palhinha. Tottenham are reportedly considering a move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Palhinha.

Certainly helped by the January additions of Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski as the pair helped take the team to the next level, it is imperative that the head coach is backed this summer if Tottenham are to keep on progressing. Hugo Lloris believes Antonio Conte already knows exactly what he wants and needs at Tottenham next season and there is "huge confidence" in the camp. While he has a release clause in his contract set at €60million (£50.9million), Sporting are said to be ready to accept a bid around the €25million (£21.2million) mark.

Tottenham's Dejan Kulusevski and Liverpool's Luis Diaz have proved to be excellent January signings - but how do the two forwards compare?

Minutes per non-penalty goal: 253.4 If you want to win something, for sure you need players at the top, not medium level players.” “We knew [Diaz] was a top player,” Conte said earlier this month.
