If recent history is any indicator, the San Antonio Spurs have likely spent recent weeks scoping out prospects throughout the Pac-12. General manager R.C. Buford has struck gold when drafting from the Conference of Champions, selecting at least one player from the Pac in four of the last five NBA Drafts.
With a blatant need for defensive help on the wing, San Antonio may look to a familiar program in the University of Washington. Senior forward Matisse Thybulle, a 6-foot-5 defensive menace, has quite literally stolen the attention of NBA front offices everywhere for his dynamic ability to hound opposing ball-handlers and force turnovers.
