The San Antonio Spurs need a few lucky breaks.
The team is taking chances on a lot of young, promising players ... but these prospects are like lottery tickets. The Spurs make the investment and hope it pays off. But in a rebuilding situation, you can never have too many of these players, which builds the argument for why San Antonio should trade for Charlotte Hornets guard James Bouknight.
Bouknight, the 11th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, had a high ceiling coming out of Connecticut as a scorer but is roadblocked in Charlotte behind LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier in the backcourt.
