San Antonio selects UK’s Rob Dillingham to trade to Minnesota Timberwolves

However, in a twist, the Spurs are sending Dillingham to the Minnesota Timberwolves for draft assets.

The San Antonio Spurs have made their second pick of the 2024 NBA draft, following up their No. 4 pick of University of Connecticut guard Stephon Castle. With their No. 8 overall pick of the draft, San Antonio has selected University of Kentucky guard Rob Dillingham.

However, in a twist, the Spurs are sending Dillingham to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a 2031 unprotected first round pick and a 2030 pick swap (top 1 protected) to the Spurs for Dillingham. It remains unclear whether San Antonio will use some of those draft assets to land a player via trade in the near-term future, but it seems likely that San Antonio will be looking to use at least some draft assets to add to the team this summer.

The Spurs still have a pair of second round picks to use when that section of the draft kicks off tomorrow on Thursday (June 26) afternoon at Nos. 35 and 48 as well.
