Welcome to the Open Thread. During the month of July, we are talking NBA Draft. As we lead up to the 2021 NBA Draft on July 29th, we will be revisiting the Spurs draft choices. Today we remember 2001.
As mentioned yesterday, the 2000 NBA draft was uneventful for the San Antonio Spurs. And although they drafted Manu Ginobili the previous year, he had yet to join the squad. An immediate impact was made in the Alamo City as PATFO drafted an unknown French point guard named Tony Parker with the 28th pick in 2001.
