1 Prospect for every possible San Antonio Spurs NBA Draft position

Not many college basketball players did as much to raise their draft stock as Taylor Hendricks did this season. He started his collegiate career as an unheralded prospect, and he is mere months from becoming the first one-and-done player in program history for Central Florida. And if San Antonio slides to seventh, Hendricks might be the best player on the board.

The 19-year-old is an explosive leaper with an insane lob radius, and he should be effective in transition or half-court sets as a roll-man, vertical spacer, and rim runner. Between knocking down 40.9% of his catch-and-shoot threes and smooth shooting mechanics, Hendricks showed enough for scouts to buy into his upside as a stretch four in the NBA.

Hendricks shares similarities with Jarace Walker as an elite team defender capable of unbelievable ground coverage. But the 6-foot-9 forward set himself apart from his fellow frontcourt counterpart with exceptional weakside rim protection. The Spurs need prospects who have a two-way impact on the game, and Hendricks is tailor-made for the modern era.
