San Antonio had two picks in the first round of the NBA Draft, and that's all they needed to knock it out of the park. The next part is claiming undrafted free agents to see who can turn into the steal of the draft, and that's what fans should be hoping Chibuzo Agbo turns out to be. The Spurs added him to the team at the conclusion of the two-night event, and he'll likely be on the floor for the Summer League.

The most popular position in the league right now is wing. Their size and increasing versatility make them ideal impact players on the floor, and San Antonio should be turning over every rock they can to find valuable ones. Agbo is a high-efficiency, volume three-point shooter, and that makes him a perfect candidate for the Spurs. If he can improve his defense, SA will really have a steal on their hands.

Spurs fans will see Agbo in Summer League

Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant will, rightfully, get most of the publicity this summer. They have top billing as the two lottery picks expected to come in and help this team get to the next level. Make sure you keep your eye out for this kid, though. One of the best things Sam Presti, Oklahoma City Thunder's general manager, has done is find talented players for cheap.

It's a tried and true method for roster construction, but it's not an exact science. Most of these guys don't get drafted for a reason. Their determination and drive will be what decides their future. It doesn't matter where you were drafted or if you were drafted when your number is called. You get on the floor, and you show what you can do.

Spurs Nation will have their first opportunity to see these guys at the Vegas Summer League. The Silver and Black will face off against the Philadelphia 76ers on July 10. They'll play four games in the span of eight days. The other teams on the schedule are the Dallas Mavericks (7/12), the Utah Jazz (7/14), and the Charlotte Hornets (7/17).
