San Antonio Spurs G-League affiliate fills out roster in 2017 Draft

The San Antonio Spurs G-League affiliate Austin filled out its roster in the 2017 draft.
San Antonio Spurs G-League affiliate Austin took part in this weekend’s 2017 G-League Draft. This not only filled out their roster but the other teams in the G-League, with a four-round selection process. Some teams made four picks, while others skipped Round 3 and/or 4.
Austin made three selections in the 2017 G-League Draft. This started with Tucker Haymond in Round 2, a wing player from Michigan. Guard Anthony Beane from Southern Illinois was the pick in Round 3. Finally, Cory Allen, a guard from South Florida, went in Round 4.
With these three picks, let’s look at the full Austin roster for the 2017-18 season. As of this writing, there are 14 players:
- Amida Brimah – Brimah received time on the Spurs preseason team. He didn’t play enough to make an impact or show what he can do.
- Anthony Beane
- Brian Bridgeforth
- Cory Allen
- Daniel Alexander
- Evan Ravenel – Ravenel attended Ohio State from 2011-13 and spent the past four years playing overseas.
- Jaron Blossomgame – The Spurs selected Blossomgame in Round 2 of the 2017 NBA Draft. He opted for a G-League contract in the summer.
- Jordan Green
- Julian Washburn
- Livio Jean-Charles – Jean-Charles was the Spurs’ first-round pick in 2013. He joined the team for training camp in 2016 but was waived.
- Maurice Boulden
- Nick Johnson
- Oliver Hanlan – Hanlan was acquired in the 2016 trade for Boris Diaw. This will be his first stint in the G-League.
- Tucker Haymond
Darrun Hilliard and Matt Costello aren’t listed on the roster, but the two-way contracts they received in the offseason guaranteed that most of their 2017-18 season will be spent in Austin. Both could see plenty of time in the NBA’s minor leagues, along with spending 45 days on the main roster.
