9. San Antonio Spurs – Bennedict Mathurin, F, Arizona

The San Antonio Spurs are at a bit of a crossroad this offseason. They have the Gregg Popovich question hovering over the team and plenty of personnel decisions to make as well. With a top 10 pick, the Spurs will have a chance to pick a promising prospect.

Bennedict Mathurin is a player that is likely not going to receive a ton of publicity heading into the NBA Draft, but he’s a prospect that could develop into one of the better players from this class. He has great size, is a great athlete, and flashed some offensive brilliance during his freshman year at Arizona.

Mathurin could be the next great developmental prospect for the Spurs and would be a great next addition for a team that is trying to build a young, promising core.
