Despite outperforming expectations and making it all the way to the NBA Finals, San Antonio has to feel it came up short after losing to the New York Knicks 4-1. The time for licking wounds should be brief, though, especially for the front office. The NBA Draft is a mere week away, and the Spurs have a real chance to add young players who can help them win a championship in the future. San Antonio’s front office has been busy during the postseason, hosting draft prospects for workouts. The Spurs own four picks in the draft: #20, #35, #42, and #44. The front office has brought in players who are considered to go in the late-first to early-second round range. If there is any smoke of them moving up in the draft (and so far there hasn’t been), we could see some higher-profile players work out for the team this week, leading up to the draft. For now, let’s take a look at the guys who have reportedly worked out for the Spurs so far. The list of players stems from HoopsHype’s draft workout tracker. Allen Graves, 6’8” PF/C, Santa Clara 22.6 minutes, 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.9 steals, 51.2% shooting, 41.3% three, 75% free throw Graves is this draft’s riser after a productive freshman season at Santa Clara. He’s a big forward with excellent defensive instincts who shot the ball well from three in college. Graves isn’t the most athletic or physically imposing player, but he makes up for it with smart positional defense and aggression on the defensive end. Offensively, he profiles as a connective playmaker and pick-and-pop threat. San Antonio needs a player like Graves – a big four who can defend, pass, and shoot the ball. He’s not a perfect fit, as he lacks the physicality, interior finishing, and rebounding ability that Victor Wembanyama’s ideal front-court partner would bring to the table. It’s hard to see him coming out of school and filling a substantial role for the Spurs immediately, but he’d give them another look in their front court as a stretch big. Chris Cenac Jr., 6’10” PF/C, Houston 24.8 minutes, 9.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 0.5 blocks, 48.5% shooting, 33.3% three, 62.1% free throw You’ll start to see a trend in the players the Spurs have worked out. They are big forwards or small-ball centers with high defensive potential. Cenac Jr. was a highly regarded high-school prospect (something Brian Wright and the Spurs’ front office have valued recently) who didn’t have the best freshman season at Houston. He’s a project big man who, on the high end, could be a lockdown defender who shoots the ball from three and plays well as a cutter on offense. On the low end, he could be a weak stretch forward who doesn’t figure out an offensive role and struggles to find a spot in the NBA. Selecting Cenac Jr. means that the Spurs believe in that upside. In theory, he could be an ideal fit alongside Wembanyama, with his athleticism, rebounding, and potential floor spacing. Again, this is another player who likely won’t be a high-level contributor in year one. Tarris Reed, 6’10” PF/C, UConn 27.3 minutes, 14.7 points, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks, 60.7% shooting, 61.7% free throw Reed Jr. is the opposite of Graves and Cenac Jr. He’s a bruising big man who thrives on contact, but isn’t a very versatile player. Reed Jr. is going to make his bread and butter by dominating physically and athletically in the paint. He’s strong, has good footwork, and a great touch around the basket. Reed Jr. should be ready to physically play and compete on the glass in his first season, but don’t expect him to be a player who dominates offensively. San Antonio could take a flyer on Reed Jr. in the second round to add some front-court depth and some needed physicality in the paint. Like Luke Kornet, don’t expect the big man to provide much in terms of floor spacing. He’d give the Spurs a more athletic, physical option behind Wembanyama and Kornet. Zuby Ejiofor, 6’8” PF, St. John’s 30 minutes, 16.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 53.6% shooting, 30.5% three, 71.8% free throw If you’re looking for your enforcer next to Wembanyama, Ejiofor could be that guy. He’s a versatile defender with an extremely high motor who is as strong as an ox. His offensive role in the NBA is questionable, as he was used mostly as a post scorer and playmaker at St. John’s, while his jump shot is still developing. As a second-round pick, Ejiofor would be a fun bet for a Spurs team that needs to add more physical defenders in its front court. Alex Karaban, 6’7” Wing, UConn 34.3 minutes, 13.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 46.4% shooting, 37.4% three, 85.1% free throw It feels like Karaban has been linked to the Spurs for the last three draft cycles. His upside is clear: he’s a proven wing who shot over 37% from three in his four seasons at UConn. He won two championships and played in three National Championship games in his college career, so he’d obviously impacted winning. He’s a dream of an off-ball player, who thrives on hitting threes off movement and is typically in the right position defensively. Just don’t ask him to create his own shot or be a lockdown wing defender. Guys like Karaban are valuable in the NBA. San Antonio could always use more wing shooters. It’s hard to find an immediate spot for him in the rotation right now, but he’d add great depth and could be a contributor in the near future. Felix Okpara, 6’10” C, Tennessee 26.9 minutes, 8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 59.7% shooting, 63.5% free throw We are now solidly in two-way contract territory. Okpara has an NBA body at center, is extremely athletic, and defends with a motor. That combination typically finds you a spot in the league at some point. His offensive output is limited as he projects as mainly a rim runner at the next level. San Antonio has been lacking a solid two-way big man since Dominick Barlow. Okpara could give them some solid tools to develop in one of their three two-way slots. Wyatt Fricks, 6’9” PF, Marshall 29.2 minutes, 15.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 55.2% shooting, 34.7% three, 68% free throw It was hard to find much on Fricks. He looks like a stretch four who hit a good number of threes at the Portsmouth Invitational and had success blocking shots in college. He could be someone the Spurs look at for a Summer League invite. Michael Ajayi, 6’7” SF/PF, Butler 33.6 minutes, 16.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.1 steals, 45.5% shooting, 26.1% three, 65.3% free throw Ajayi is a good wing athlete who defended well in college. He’s got a high motor on both ends, but doesn’t shoot the ball well enough as an undersized player. San Antonio could take a flyer on him in the Summer League. MJ Collins, 6’3” Guard, Utah State 30.8 minutes, 17.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 48.7% shooting, 36.1% three, 81% free throw Collins can fill it up as a scoring guard, but 1.6 assists for a smaller guard who isn’t a great defender puts him in a niche that typically doesn’t make it in the NBA. This could be another Summer League target for the Spurs. Tre Donaldson, 6’3” Guard, Miami 34 minutes, 16.4 points, 5.7 assists, 1.4 steals, 45.4% shooting, 35.9% three, 76.6% free throw Donaldson had the reputation of a defensive guard until his senior season at Miami, where he had the best offensive season of his career on a Hurricanes squad that won a game in the NCAA Tournament this year. He’s likely to go undrafted because of his size and scoring questions, but San Antonio could give him a look as an undrafted free agent. Barry Dunning Jr., 6’6” Wing, Pittsburg 31.7 minutes, 12.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 0.8 blocks, 46.6% shooting, 34.5% three, 71.6% free throw Dunning Jr. is a former Alabama high-school star turned college basketball journeyman. He’s got good size and athleticism on the wing, and has intriguing pedigree for a potentially undrafted player. William Kyle III, 6’9” Forward, Syracuse 28.1 minutes, 8.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 66.1% shooting, 49.1% free throw Kyle III put up impressive numbers in his Senior season at Syracuse. He’s a pogo stick on the basketball court. Some of his jumps are out of this world. Robert McCray V, 6’4” Guard, Florida State 28.9 minutes, 16.3 points, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 45.8% shooting, 35.5% three, 71.3% free throw McCray is a hard-nosed guard with a lot of burst and athleticism. He passed the ball well in his Senior season at FSU. He’s another undrafted flyer. ...read more read less
