The San Antonio Spurs have two top-10 picks in this year’s draft, providing them with a great opportunity to add young talent to the roster. If they nail their selections, they could greatly improve Victor Wembanyama’s chances of winning. Matt Rooney of Bleacher Nation has the Spurs selecting Matas Buzelis with the fourth pick in his latest mock draft.
“If Risacher doesn’t fall to the Spurs, Buzelis would be a very nice option for them,” Rooney wrote. “He has a similar skillset and can do a little bit of everything. The length the Spurs would have on the floor between him and Wemby could create a lot of problems for opposing teams. He is versatile on offense, though his ball handling could be more consistent. Defensively, he’s capable of guarding multiple positions. He won’t be a top option offensively early in his career, but his catch-and-shoot ability gives him quite the upside.
“Plus, giving Gregg Popovich the chance to develop Buzelis seems like a great fit.”
Buzelis seems like a bit of a project, but as Rooney mentioned, that could make San Antonio a solid fit for him.
