Every year as we approach the draft, we prepare as if it is the last year before our window slams shut.
And every year it stays wide open - inviting a cool, refreshing breeze at our backs, sustaining us through the season and into the playoffs.
This year is no different, and (as usual) things have worked out for us here. We have two main areas we need to shore up. We need big man depth to pick up more of the dwindling minutes of our legendary superstar and our veteran power forward. We also desperately need outside shooting to spread the floor for our incredible trio of penetrating guards.
And what has happened? We drafted a player three years ago and stashed him away in Spain for a rainy day. Since we are the Spurs, not only has he won the Spanish League MVP but he led his team to the league championship. Now he's ready to be a Spur. He's ready to be our umbrella.
And, since we are the Spurs, the player we think is the best pure shooter in this draft is just waiting for us to grab him.
So we bless-ed, the San Antonio Spurs, select James Anderson - who probably won't have a hand in his face all season. May the gentle breezes from the Rio Grande to the Gulf of Mexico be always at his back.
This only happens to players on lesser teams.
