What could the San Antonio Spurs do with Devin Vassell in the rotation?
The 2020 NBA Draft is approaching in a matter of months. This year’s draft is sure to be full of intrigue, especially for the San Antonio Spurs who will have their highest pick since they took Tim Duncan back in 1997.
This pick is crucially important for the Spurs. They’re not going to get a star player, this isn’t a draft class that has stars through the lottery. But they are in a great position to select a player who can contribute right away.
There’s some debate around what San Antonio should do with their choice. They could trade down and still get a solid player in the 20s but there are a few guys in the top half of the lottery that might be too good to pass on.
Devin Vassell is one of those players. The former Florida State Seminole is one of the best players in this class and would be a near-perfect fit for the San Antonio Spurs roster at this point. He’s got prototypical size and would easily slide into the Spurs rotation on day one, this is not a guy who would have to spend time in Austin.
If Vassell is on the board when it’s San Antonio’s turn to pick they’ve got to take him. If we’re lucky enough to see that happen, here’s what the Spurs rotations might look like with him in the mix.
