Who should Spurs target in this year's draft?
The San Antonio Spurs have the 26th overall pick in the 2015 draft. What they typically do here is select an International prospect few have ever heard of, then stash him overseas until he's ready to contribute.
But this year could be a different story. If Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili retire, the Spurs will finally (probably) become a team in transition. They'll need high-upside help right away.
Bleacher Report's David Kenyon took a look at three potential prospects San Antonio may have its eye on, including Utah point guard Delon Wright.
"If Murray State's Cameron Payne somehow falls to the Spurs, they ought to snatch him off the draft board. But if Payne has already been selected—as is likely—Delon Wright would be a respectable consolation prize. He screams 'Cory Joseph 2.0.' A 6'5" point guard out of Utah, Wright is adept at operating out of pick-and-roll sets, a necessary skill for playing for San Antonio."
It's not easy to find worthwhile talent so late in the first round. But if any team can do it, it's the Spurs.
