The Spurs have a superstar big man, who will be the best player in the NBA soon. They must acquire guards and wings to complement his skill set. All four selections have versatility, shooting, and playmaking ability, which San Antonio desperately needs. The Spurs were 28th in 3-point percentage and 26th in offensive rating in 2024. They draft more offensive juice here.
The San Antonio Spurs have a mountain of draft capital and a desire to improve. They could make significant trades to bolster their talent, but expect the Spurs to keep their draft picks. They want young players on Victor Wembanyama’s timeline. The only way to find them is in the draft. The Spurs will nail their picks and return to contention in short order. Fans certainly won’t want to miss it, so stay tuned.
