I thought quantum mechanical spin is completely unrelated to Newtonian angular momentum, but IANAP.

Its not completely unrelated, but it is not clearly related. That is, spin contributes to overall angular momentum, but that contribution is much too large to be explained as the actual rotation of subatomic particles. So, like most quantum properties, our Newtonian intuitions are poor guides.
