Earlier, the Spurs reportedly sent an email blast to the other 29 other teams in the league offering up the #26 pick. Houston has just selected Spurs favorite Nicolas Batum with the #25 pick, and guys like Mario Chalmers, Darrell Arthur, DeAndre Jordan and Chris Douglas-Roberts all remain on the board.Anyone else think the offers are getting a lot better all of a sudden?
Arthur's presence in the "green room" is practically tragic. It's becoming clear his workout process was flubbed in some way; rumors of injuries kept him for working out everywhere, but apparently those injury rumors were overblown. If Arthur really skipped teams he didn't want to get draft by, it's going to be a loooong night of introspection.
We'll update this with whatever we hear about the Spurs' pick.
UPDATE: The Spurs take a point guard, George Hill of IUPUI, which would be a completely anonymous school were it not for the rampant popularity of NCAA brackets. No word on whether this pick was made for the Spurs or not. San Antonio could in fact use another point. Whoever wanted Hill liked him more than Chalmers, apparently.
