Draft Profile: Brandon Rush

RushPhysicals:
6′ 7″
211 lbs
Kansas

It be a miracle if Rush falls to the Spurs but if for some reason he does, expect an immediate impact player.  He could be the Spurs answer to the aging position of the shooting guard.  Not only that he is young and athletic.  Guy can shoot, slash, has length, and can defend — something Pop will love.

He does need to get stronger and needs to develop some ball handling skills. Plus he did have a major injury to his ACL but doesn’t show many signs of that slowing him down.

Why the Spurs should take him?  Seeing how the SG position for the Spurs is questionable and old (Barry, Finley, Manu) he could be the answer for the Spurs.  But I highly doubt he would be there for the Spurs to take.

    I’d be very happy if Rush fell to the Spurs! Very happy and very surprised.

    Same here. He would make an immediate impact and fill a need.

    There’s a few rumours that the Spurs are trying to either get an extra pick in the mid 1st round, or move there… do you think it’s for Rush, or Robin Lopez? Maybe even for Batum and Lopez!

    I wouldn’t mind the French connection of Alexis Ajinca and Batum to come in… on another note, would you be happy if we tabbed Hibbert?
