The San Antonio Spurs are positioning themselves for a brighter future after missing the playoffs since the 2018-19 season. Center Victor Wembanyama has emerged as a star despite injuries, averaging 24.3 points and 11 rebounds in 46 games. The Spurs have bolstered their roster by trading for De'Aaron Fox and drafting promising wings like Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson.

With the No. 2 and No. 14 picks in the upcoming draft, they are expected to select Dylan Harper, although his fit alongside Fox and rookie Stephon Castle could limit his immediate impact. The Spurs could explore trading the No. 2 pick to acquire additional assets, potentially targeting teams like the Nets or Wizards. The draft is deep this year, and options like Duke's Kon Knueppel could provide the shooting and versatility the Spurs need.
