The NBA Draft Lottery was on Saturday afternoon, and the San Antonio Spurs landed the fourth and eighth picks in the 2024 NBA Draft. The eighth selection is owed to them via the Jakob Poeltl trade with the Toronto Raptors, as it was top-six-protected and landed outside the top six. Meanwhile, the fourth pick is their own.
They earned the eighth pick because it dropped from six to eight. Meanwhile, their own selection jumped into the top four. They were slated as the fifth pick but had a 42.1% chance to jump into the top four and a 10.5% chance to get the first pick in the draft.
Kentucky guard Rob Dillingham has been heavily linked to the Spurs, so he seems like a likely selection at four.
As for the eighth overall pick, players such as forward Matas Buzelis, UConn center Donovan Clingan, and Colorado forward Cody Williams could be available for them to consider.
