[gsole14] Information that comes to me directly from the Draft ceremony itself. San Antonio Spurs intends to immediately sign Juan Núñez and have him play in the NBA next season.
I just wanted to post this, he is a Spanish journalist I have known for a long time and I am sure he has direct contact with Juan.
ok thank god. if we’re going to be tanking theres no point.
sidenote: Jake Fischer gets another thing wrong

Wow that’s a shocker. I guess it’s very simply just liked him a lot.
I like Nunez. But I think he’s one of the more flawed of favorite prospects. I still had him in the first round though, so I thought he was a good selection. Though I was much higher on him than many
You just don’t see guys his size that can pass like that. He’s such a rarity
I can’t speak to how I think He will do next year but I will say this with great confidence
If he gets even a brief cup of coffee with the team, the pick and roll game with him and Victor is going to be a thing of beauty.

Oh my that something so literally all of our players who are expiring this year likely isn’t coming back

I thought he just signed with Barcelona?

2 way?

I was not expecting that.
Given that he has so much to work on his game, I thought we would leave him for a couple of years to playing heavy minutes leading one of the best teams in Europe, and then bring him back if we think he’s NBA ready.
To bring him over now is a big move. I assume it will have to be a full contract (he shouldnt agree to a 2-way when he’s got a Barcelona contract), which knocks someone else out of our 15 (not a huge deal as there are a few possibilities), but it also means that we think he will warrant decent NBA minutes. (Again, I would’ve playing for Barcelona is better experience than the G League, except that he would be under our coaching staff).
This means that we would expect him to compete with, or be ahead of, Wesley in the rotation for those non-Tre/Castle PG minutes.

Woah, they must be pretty damn high on his potential
PartickNotPatrick
I’m a lot more intrigued by this pick now and am veeery keen to see him play in Las Vegas. Nunez, Cissoko, Ingram, and Castle playing together so soon should be really fun to watch.

Not bad, Amazing passer can’t wait to see him on spurs. Telemundo gonna feast even if he speaks Castilian Spanish

Nunes passes like a poor man’s Manu.

They really must in awe of his development if they’re wanting him to play next season.

Nunez is untouchable.
Spurs fans are amazing

Is he the next Nando De Colo?

This makes me both understand why they traded 8 but also somehow simultaneously confirms my suspicion there was a player they wanted with that pick who was taken, since they’ve now shown they are willing to roster 3 rooks (provided this is true and there is no trade in the works).
You can’t roster 4 rookies. That’s insane.
Titronnica
Most curious, huh.
Well, I say let’s see how this goes. Guessing there’ll be a few cuts coming soon.

Fantastic, I love Mexicans, welcome to the Spurs Juan.
Tackis
Super flashy passer that is extremely strong in the pick and roll. Love his playmaking potential and he’s got size.

If he can hit Wemby with assists I’m all for it.
nakedsamurai
Really going for that no shooting roster.
DevilGunManga
The race for PG minutes will be blood bath.

Play in the NBA next season probably means on a 2way. No way they are giving this guy a regular roster spot

Nuñez to Wembanyama is your new Stockton to Malone
