Recent analysis posits San Antonio Spurs taking East Coast guard 35th in the second round

We’d go with the mid-major big man instead.

The staff at our sister site HoopsHype have truly outdone themselves with their recent analysis of what ball clubs picking in the 2024 NBA draft are most likely to pick specific prospects with that selection. After having done the entire first round, H/H league analyst and company also did the entire second round as well.

Using a method making use of their Draft Predictor application that De Roa describes as “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.” H/H sees the San Antonio Spurs as most likely to use their No. 65 overall pick (No. 35 in the second round) on Virginia forward Ryan Dunn, with 21.0% odds.

Other likely prospects for the Spurs include Kansas forward Johnny Furphy (16.1% odds), Kansas teammate Kevin McCullar (13.1% odds), Dayton center DaRon Holmes (12.5% odds), and Illinois forward Terrence Shannon (10.5% odds), with Holmes being our personal favorite.
