35. Spurs pick Baylor Scheierman
Scheierman blossomed during his five college seasons. He started as a bench player at South Dakota State playing 20 minutes per game and shooting 24.7 percent on his threes before becoming a starter. After three years, he transferred to Creighton where he played a key role in his first season. Scheierman came back for his fifth year and was the Bluejays’ best player.
He averaged 18.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 0.9 steals in 36.8 minutes per game. He was a 39.0 percent 3-point shooter over his five college seasons, and the 6’6 wing should quickly be able to help an NBA team.
Every team wants 6’7 wings who can space the floor. There are questions about his defense and overall impact, but productive college players often translate to NBA rotation pieces. His versatile skill set fits well in San Antonio with their young talent.
The Spurs are not done. They have another second-round pick at 48th overall.
