The San Antonio Spurs are gearing up for the 2025 NBA Draft, positioned to select second, 14th, and 38th overall. With the second pick, they are likely to choose highly touted Rutgers guard Dylan Harper, a move that would bolster their offensive arsenal. The Spurs also face a critical decision regarding their 14th pick, which could be traded or used to address their depth issues, particularly at backup center, a position lacking stability behind Victor Wembanyama.
The team has been distancing itself from pursuing a trade for Kevin Durant, which further emphasizes their focus on drafting. Currently, the Spurs have no other centers on guaranteed contracts for next season, and the inconsistencies of Charles Bassey and Sandro Mamukelashvili highlight the need for reliable talent.
There are several viable options in the upcoming draft, such as Joan Beringer, who is gaining attention for his defensive skills and rebounding ability despite being somewhat raw. A recent mock draft suggests that Beringer could be the Spurs' choice at the 14th pick. Given his potential to complement Wembanyama's skillset, Beringer could become a vital piece for the Spurs as they build towards future success.
