NBA Draft: How Should Spurs Approach 2nd Round Picks?
The San Antonio Spurs have the No. 1 pick in tonight's NBA Draft, and while there isn't any doubt that Victor Wembanyama will be the No. 1 pick, questions linger as to what they will do with their other two selections in the second round.
Whether or not the Spurs try and trade the picks, San Antonio could extract some serious value in such a deep draft class. Heading into tonight, the team holds the Nos. 33 & 44 picks.
Bleacher Report suggests that the team should simply look for the best player available at both picks.
"Of course, barring a trade, that top overall pick isn't the only one San Antonio will make this year. The Spurs also have Nos. 33 and 44. And given the seeming lack of star power already on the roster, the best-player-available approach should be applied to those second-rounders," Bleacher Report writes.
Despite being on the precipice of making Wembanyama their franchise cornerstone, the Spurs still have a long way to go along their path of rebuilding, and bringing in as many assets as possible will be crucial for the team heading into the season.
The NBA Draft's coverage begins tonight at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN.
