The San Antonio Spurs will not be part of the 2018 NBA Draft Lottery, which will be unveiled Tuesday night. Their last inclusion in one of the draft’s first steps came in 1997, with the victory of the No. 1 overall pick and selection of Tim Duncan.
Due to success for the next 21 seasons, the Spurs have not had a chance at the projected, elite talents of the draft. Unless there’s a trade before June’s selection show, that will be the case again.
Even though 2018’s top prospects are out of range, some of them would still make sense as a fit on San Antonio’s roster.
