HoopsHype\u2019s draft workout tracker<\/a>.<\/p>\nAllen Graves, 6\u20198\u201d PF\/C, Santa Clara<\/p>\n
22.6 minutes, 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.9 steals, 51.2% shooting, 41.3% three, 75% free throw<\/p>\n
Graves is this draft\u2019s riser after a productive freshman season at Santa Clara. He\u2019s a big forward with excellent defensive instincts who shot the ball well from three in college. Graves isn\u2019t the most athletic or physically imposing player, but he makes up for it with smart positional defense and aggression on the defensive end. Offensively, he profiles as a connective playmaker and pick-and-pop threat.<\/p>\n
San Antonio needs a player like Graves \u2013 a big four who can defend, pass, and shoot the ball. He\u2019s not a perfect fit, as he lacks the physicality, interior finishing, and rebounding ability that Victor Wembanyama\u2019s ideal front-court partner would bring to the table. It\u2019s hard to see him coming out of school and filling a substantial role for the Spurs immediately, but he\u2019d give them another look in their front court as a stretch big.<\/p>\n
Chris Cenac Jr., 6\u201910\u201d PF\/C, Houston<\/p>\n
24.8 minutes, 9.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 0.5 blocks, 48.5% shooting, 33.3% three, 62.1% free throw<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll start to see a trend in the players the Spurs have worked out. They are big forwards or small-ball centers with high defensive potential. Cenac Jr. was a highly regarded high-school prospect (something Brian Wright and the Spurs\u2019 front office have valued recently) who didn\u2019t have the best freshman season at Houston. He\u2019s a project big man who, on the high end, could be a lockdown defender who shoots the ball from three and plays well as a cutter on offense. On the low end, he could be a weak stretch forward who doesn\u2019t figure out an offensive role and struggles to find a spot in the NBA.<\/p>\n
Selecting Cenac Jr. means that the Spurs believe in that upside. In theory, he could be an ideal fit alongside Wembanyama, with his athleticism, rebounding, and potential floor spacing. Again, this is another player who likely won\u2019t be a high-level contributor in year one.<\/p>\n
Tarris Reed, 6\u201910\u201d PF\/C, UConn<\/p>\n
27.3 minutes, 14.7 points, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks, 60.7% shooting, 61.7% free throw<\/p>\n
Reed Jr. is the opposite of Graves and Cenac Jr. He\u2019s a bruising big man who thrives on contact, but isn\u2019t a very versatile player. Reed Jr. is going to make his bread and butter by dominating physically and athletically in the paint. He\u2019s strong, has good footwork, and a great touch around the basket. Reed Jr. should be ready to physically play and compete on the glass in his first season, but don\u2019t expect him to be a player who dominates offensively.<\/p>\n
San Antonio could take a flyer on Reed Jr. in the second round to add some front-court depth and some needed physicality in the paint. Like Luke Kornet, don\u2019t expect the big man to provide much in terms of floor spacing. He\u2019d give the Spurs a more athletic, physical option behind Wembanyama and Kornet.<\/p>\n
Zuby Ejiofor, 6\u20198\u201d PF, St. John\u2019s<\/p>\n
30 minutes, 16.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 53.6% shooting, 30.5% three, 71.8% free throw<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking for your enforcer next to Wembanyama, Ejiofor could be that guy. He\u2019s a versatile defender with an extremely high motor who is as strong as an ox. His offensive role in the NBA is questionable, as he was used mostly as a post scorer and playmaker at St. John\u2019s, while his jump shot is still developing. As a second-round pick, Ejiofor would be a fun bet for a Spurs team that needs to add more physical defenders in its front court.<\/p>\n
Alex Karaban, 6\u20197\u201d Wing, UConn<\/p>\n
34.3 minutes, 13.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 46.4% shooting, 37.4% three, 85.1% free throw<\/p>\n
It feels like Karaban has been linked to the Spurs for the last three draft cycles. His upside is clear: he\u2019s a proven wing who shot over 37% from three in his four seasons at UConn. He won two championships and played in three National Championship games in his college career, so he\u2019d obviously impacted winning. He\u2019s a dream of an off-ball player, who thrives on hitting threes off movement and is typically in the right position defensively. Just don\u2019t ask him to create his own shot or be a lockdown wing defender.<\/p>\n
Guys like Karaban are valuable in the NBA. San Antonio could always use more wing shooters. It\u2019s hard to find an immediate spot for him in the rotation right now, but he\u2019d add great depth and could be a contributor in the near future.<\/p>\n
Felix Okpara, 6\u201910\u201d C, Tennessee<\/p>\n
26.9 minutes, 8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 59.7% shooting, 63.5% free throw<\/p>\n
We are now solidly in two-way contract territory. Okpara has an NBA body at center, is extremely athletic, and defends with a motor. That combination typically finds you a spot in the league at some point. His offensive output is limited as he projects as mainly a rim runner at the next level. San Antonio has been lacking a solid two-way big man since Dominick Barlow. Okpara could give them some solid tools to develop in one of their three two-way slots.<\/p>\n
Wyatt Fricks, 6\u20199\u201d PF, Marshall<\/p>\n
29.2 minutes, 15.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 55.2% shooting, 34.7% three, 68% free throw<\/p>\n
It was hard to find much on Fricks. He looks like a stretch four who hit a good number of threes at the Portsmouth Invitational and had success blocking shots in college. He could be someone the Spurs look at for a Summer League invite.<\/p>\n
Michael Ajayi, 6\u20197\u201d SF\/PF, Butler<\/p>\n
33.6 minutes, 16.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.1 steals, 45.5% shooting, 26.1% three, 65.3% free throw<\/p>\n
Ajayi is a good wing athlete who defended well in college. He\u2019s got a high motor on both ends, but doesn\u2019t shoot the ball well enough as an undersized player. San Antonio could take a flyer on him in the Summer League.<\/p>\n
MJ Collins, 6\u20193\u201d Guard, Utah State<\/p>\n
30.8 minutes, 17.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 48.7% shooting, 36.1% three, 81% free throw<\/p>\n
Collins can fill it up as a scoring guard, but 1.6 assists for a smaller guard who isn\u2019t a great defender puts him in a niche that typically doesn\u2019t make it in the NBA. This could be another Summer League target for the Spurs.<\/p>\n
Tre Donaldson, 6\u20193\u201d Guard, Miami<\/p>\n
34 minutes, 16.4 points, 5.7 assists, 1.4 steals, 45.4% shooting, 35.9% three, 76.6% free throw<\/p>\n
Donaldson had the reputation of a defensive guard until his senior season at Miami, where he had the best offensive season of his career on a Hurricanes squad that won a game in the NCAA Tournament this year. He\u2019s likely to go undrafted because of his size and scoring questions, but San Antonio could give him a look as an undrafted free agent.<\/p>\n
Barry Dunning Jr., 6\u20196\u201d Wing, Pittsburg<\/p>\n
31.7 minutes, 12.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 0.8 blocks, 46.6% shooting, 34.5% three, 71.6% free throw<\/p>\n
Dunning Jr. is a former Alabama high-school star turned college basketball journeyman. He\u2019s got good size and athleticism on the wing, and has intriguing pedigree for a potentially undrafted player.<\/p>\n
William Kyle III, 6\u20199\u201d Forward, Syracuse<\/p>\n
28.1 minutes, 8.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 66.1% shooting, 49.1% free throw<\/p>\n
Kyle III put up impressive numbers in his Senior season at Syracuse. He\u2019s a pogo stick on the basketball court. Some of his jumps are out of this world.<\/p>\n
Robert McCray V, 6\u20194\u201d Guard, Florida State<\/p>\n
28.9 minutes, 16.3 points, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 45.8% shooting, 35.5% three, 71.3% free throw<\/p>\n
McCray is a hard-nosed guard with a lot of burst and athleticism. He passed the ball well in his Senior season at FSU. He\u2019s another undrafted flyer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2025-26 season ended disappointingly for the San Antonio Spurs.
