San Antonio Spurs Future Draft Picks Tracker

Posted by Admin September 9, 2024 NBA

Ever since the San Antonio Spurs learned that they would have the opportunity to select Victor Wembanyama with the first-overall selection in the 2023 NBA Draft, the franchise has been geared to building its future around him.

That, and having already started to stockpile picks, led to the first of what will probably numerous future drafts that will be confusing for fans. San Antonio came into the 2024 NBA Draft with the No. 4-, 8-, 35- and 48-overall selections, and made deals with two of the picks.

First, the Spurs selected Stephon Castle, a versatile 6-6 guard out of UConn, as the No. 4-overall pick. However, they subsequently took Rob Dillingham out of Kentucky, at No. 8, and parlayed him to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a 2030 protected pick swap and a 2031 unprotected first-round draft pick.

San Antonio subsequently took Johnny Furphy of Kansas at No. 35 and traded him to the Indiana Pacers for 19-year-old point guard Juan Nunez (from Spain, but played last year in Germany), the No. 36 selection, and cash. At No. 48, the Spurs took forward Harrison Ingram out of North Carolina.
