San Antonio Spurs Draft: 3 Fringe first-rounders for Spurs to be watching

These players on the fringe of the first round should have the San Antonio Spurs interest

Over the past few, the San Antonio Spurs have done as good of a job as any team in the league of identifying talent in the latest parts of the first round. They’ve had the 29th pick in three out of their four last picks and they’ve nailed each one.

Every one of Dejounte Murray, Keldon Johnson, and Derrick White has shown that they can be starters for San Antonio. Could the Spurs find another steal in this year’s group?

This draft class doesn’t have the star power as last year’s but there is plenty of late-round potential. There are going to be a lot of guys taken near the end of the first round and into the early parts of the second who will end up surprising people.

They might not become All-Star’s or starters but each of these players can outperform their draft position if they end up in the right situation. And the San Antonio Spurs, who have proven time after time that they can get the most out of their players, would be an excellent fit for any one of them.

Here are a few players on the edges of the first and second rounds that the Spurs should consider moving up for.
