The San Antonio Spurs have the 26th and 55th overall picks in the 2015 NBA draft.
As is their usual custom, it's possible they stash at least one of the players overseas for the short-term future. (This is smart because San Antonio doesn't have to pay a dime while their pick earns experience playing competitively elsewhere.)
Or, with several of their rotation players headed to free agency, maybe the Spurs look to add someone who can help out sooner than later. Here's a look at a few potential prospects who may be able to do just that. According to Project Spurs' writer Paul Garcia, one is Louisville forward Montrezl Harrell:
"In looking at some of his highlights, it’s clear Harrell is an energy type of big man who runs the floor in the open court with an ability to finish above the rim, whether on the break, or in cleaning up the offensive glass...Right now, on the Spurs’ books, only Boris Diaw and Tiago Splitter are currently under contract in their frontcourt rotation. Tim Duncan (debating retirement), Matt Bonner, Aron Baynes and Jeff Ayres will all be free agents as of July 1, so the Spurs could be looking at another frontcourt player, as they await to see what Duncan’s decision will be in the near future."
Any team in the league could use an energy guy off the bench who's good for 15 minutes of solid production on the glass. Right now, the Spurs don't have that. Outside of Kawhi Leonard, they also lack athleticism, and adding Harrell to the mix would improve both areas.
