Tag: Spurs NBA Draft

The San Antonio Spurs have a chance to add a top-tier talent to their young core in the 2024 NBA Draft. They will have a top pick, and bringing in another young star to pair with Victor Wembanyama should be a top priority. One guy who they have been connected to fairly heavily is Kentucky guard Rob Dillingham.

According to LJ Ellis of SpursTalk, Dillingham has made it clear to other teams that he wants to go to San Antonio. In addition, the Spurs are reportedly going to draft Dillingham with their top pick regardless of where their selection lands, as they are very high on him.

The CLAN the SPURS fan YouTube channel recently discussed this, going over whether or not San Antonio will draft Dillingham, as well as some thoughts on the matter.

In 32 games for the Wildcats this summer, Dillingham averaged 15.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists while shooting 47.5% from the field and 44.4% from behind the three-point line.

As the 2024 NBA Draft inches closer, the San Antonio Spurs are going to have to make some important decisions. However, it looks as though one potential prospect selection has distinguished himself from the rest. According to LJ Ellis of SpursTalk, Rob Dillingham has made it clear to other teams that he wants to go to San Antonio, and the Spurs are likely to select him with their pick if he’s available.

“Dillingham’s camp is telling anyone who will listen that his preferred landing spot is in San Antonio,” Ellis wrote. “Multiple scouts have told me it’d be surprising if the Spurs pass on Dillingham due his seamless fit next to Victor Wembanyama. ‘If [Dillingham] is on the board, I’m convinced the Spurs pick him — even with the first pick,” a scout for a Western Conference team told me.'”

Adding a guy like Dillingham to the roster would give the Spurs a huge boost in the shot-creation department, as well as a top-notch ball-handler.

The duo of Dillingham and Victor Wembanyama would immediately be one of the best young tandems in the NBA.

This summer will be an important one for the San Antonio Spurs. As they look to build out the roster around star big man Victor Wembanyama, they’ll have multiple chances to make changes. Free agency and the trade market will be crucial, but the Spurs will also have to nail their pick(s) in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Getting some more ball handling next to Wembanyama is undoubtedly going to be a top priority for the Spurs, and there’s a chance they could find someone in the draft to help in that area. One guy to keep an eye on will be Kentucky guard Rob Dillingham, who just wrapped up an impressive rookie season with the Wildcats.

The CLAN the SPURS fan YouTube channel recently discussed whether or not Dillingham could be a good fit in San Antonio.

In 32 games with the Wildcats (including 31 off the pine), Dillingham averaged 15.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists while shooting 47.5% from the field and 44.4% from behind the three-point line.
