In June’s 2018 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs will select No. 18 overall. It’s one of their highest spots in the order of the past 20 years, so it’s possible for them to get an impact player that helps get the team back to the playoffs.
The No. 18 pick has delivered some successful players over the years. Most recently, it was T.J. Leaf to the Indiana Pacers and Henry Ellenson to the Detroit Pistons. Even Eric Bledsoe went at this spot in 2010, arguably the best No. 18 player of the decade.
