San Antonio’s first draft in the Victor Wembanyama era is officially in the books.
‘We felt like the package that we got made sense to move off of the eighth pick for,’ Wright saysFor the first time, the NBA Draft was split into two days. The Spurs had two top 10 picks in round one and another pair of picks in round two.“It’s an interesting two-day setup, but it’s fun. You get a chance to strategize a little bit more and time to talk to other teams,” Spurs general manager Brian Wright said. “It’s different, it’ll take some adjusting, but I think it’s an interesting wrinkle.
The Timberwolves selected point guard Rob Dillingham out of Kentucky — leaving the Spurs’ faithful confused and shocked after San Antonio was rumored to have an interest in drafting the sharpshooter. San Antonio already boasts the youngest roster in the league, so the impact of another developmental player could have played a factor in the trade. The deal also opened up about $7 million in cap space.
“I don’t know about all of that. I think just in isolation, in a vacuum, we felt like it was fair value for what the eighth pick was,” Wright said. “And obviously,, but, ultimately, what you can do with the pick, what you can do with that pick, you know, potentially could have some impact.”
