We’re approaching the 50-game mark of a Spurs season focused on young player development and maximizing draft odds (cough, tanking). Thus, it’s a good time to revisit the 2022 draft to orientate to the performances of those selected. The Spurs selected three players in the first round. In the lottery, they selected Jeremy Sochan for 9th overall. In addition, via the DeRozan sign-and-trade, San Antonio traded Thaddeus Young to the Raptors to select Malaki Branham for the 20th pick. The Spurs also selected Blake Wesley 25th in a pick sent from Boston for Derrick White (Josh Richardson and Romeo Langford were also in the deal).
