9. San Antonio Spurs – Jalen Duren, C, Memphis

After another curious season from the San Antonio Spurs, the hope is that the team will be able to turn the corner a bit during this offseason – whether that’s with or without head coach Gregg Popovich moving forward.

One potential option late in the top 10 for the Spurs is Jalen Duren, one of the most athletic and physically dominating prospects in this year’s NBA Draft class.

The Spurs have had some really good fortune by selecting centers with high draft picks over the course of their recent history. Hopefully, the team can replicate similar success by selecting Duren in the top 10.
