The San Antonio Spurs, perhaps somewhat off brand, have been one of the most interesting teams over the last few weeks. But no matter what happens in the remainder of the playoffs, this team will have plenty of questions to answer during the summer. They need a new direction and have to hit a home run in the NBA Draft.
At No. 19, that could be hard. However, with the most interesting prospect still on the board, I wouldn’t be all that surprised to see the Spurs take a big swing here. Bol Bol has an extremely high ceiling and is a player unlike we’ve ever seen before. However, his big injury will probably prevent him from being a top 10 or 5 pick.
Nevertheless, Bol has top 10 talent and could potentially be a big steal for any team that takes the ultimate risk on him late in the first round. San Antonio is one of those teams that could take the risk while also not really getting blamed if he turns out to be a complete bust. It’s a healthy risk for the Spurs to take here.
