The highly anticipated NBA Draft Lottery came and went Thursday night without the San Antonio Spurs lucking into a top-four pick. The chances of them sneaking into the uppermost part of the draft hovered around 2% heading into the annual event, and the odds played out exactly how they were supposed to, with the Silver and Black landing the 11th overall selection.
Yesterday was only their fourth time partaking in the lottery process in franchise history and their first time in 23 years. And considering the last three trips to the lottery resulted in the acquisition of David Robinson (1987), Sean Elliott (1989), and Tim Duncan (1997), it was perfectly understandable that some fans were left disappointed by their first unfortunate bounces of the ping pong balls.
