Dreaming up the Spurs' ultimate starting 5, 5 years from now

Power forward: Cooper Flagg

The odds that the Spurs find themselves in the position to draft a generational prospect in two of the last three drafts seem low but here's hoping that they find a way to land Cooper Flagg. Flagg is highly regarded as an elite two-way prospect who can change the fortunes of a franchise. Imagine that type of player paired with Wembanyama in the frontcourt.

His play on both ends of the floor would make him a terrific fit, with him being an excellent shot blocker and rebounder in addition to being able to score in the post and shoot. He would only be 24 years old in five years and not even in his prime but would likely be a superstar by then.

Better still, he would only be starting his rookie max contract, giving the Spurs time to make other moves to ensure that they could afford to pay both him and Wembanyama. Whatever the cost, the reward may be even better with San Antonio having two big building blocks in that wild scenario, with both of them being 25 years old or younger.

They do have the Hawks' unprotected first-round pick in 2025 and if they underperform, San Antonio might share the top odds of landing the number-one pick and could potentially draft Flagg.
