SAN ANTONIO (AP) The San Antonio Spurs enter Thursday's draft with only five players under contract and a number of unanswered questions for coach Gregg Popovich and general manager R.C. Buford.

The team's recent draft history has centered on development. That could change this year, when the Spurs hold the 26th and 55th overall picks.

Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili have not announced whether they will retire or return. Star Kawhi Leonard is a restricted free agent, while Danny Green and Marco Belinelli are unrestricted free agents.

Mock drafts have the Spurs possibly drafting players ranging from Virginia forward Justin Anderson to Wisconsin forward Sam Dekker to 7-footer Nikola Milutinov.
