The San Antonio Spurs don’t generally pick this high – considering that No. 19 isn’t high at all suggests all you need to know about the amount of success that this organization has endured – but adding a player like Rui Hachimura could be a big win at this point.

At one point this past season, there were mocks that had Hachimura in the top 10. Yes, it’s been that much of an up-and-down year for Hachimura when it comes to his draft stock. Nevertheless, he’s the type of prospect that could really develop into a good player down the line.

And what better place for him to do so than with the Spurs. This is a first-class organization that has developed players in so many instances.
