New analysis predicts San Antonio Spurs use No. 4 pick on floor general with size

We’d be fine with such a selection for San Antonio.

In a new analysis from our sister site HoopsHype, the likely selection of every pick in the 2024 NBA draft has been projected according to a system that, as H/H analyst Alberto De Roa writes, uses the Draft Predictor, “a new tool that factors in our Aggregated Mock Draft and our workout tracker to generate the probability of every player landing at each draft slot.”

And in the case of the San Antonio Spurs’ No. 4 overall pick and who the projection favors, HoopsHype sees the Spurs taking the 18-year-old, 6-foot-6, 201 lb. Serbian point guard Nikola Topic with 25.5% odds, currently playing in the Euroleague for Crvena zvezda Meridianbet.

Other likely picks include JL Bourg small forward Zaccharie Risacher (19.3% odds), University of Kentucky point guard Rob Dillingham (16.8% odds), University of Connecticut combo guard Stephon Castle (11.3% odds), or his big man teammate Donovan Clingan (7.3% odds) in the 2024 draft.
