San Antonio Spurs: 5 options for pick No. 59 in 2017 NBA Draft

Overlooking the value of a second-round pick is never a wise decision for an NBA front office. This is particularly true in the 2017 NBA Draft with so much talent leaking beyond the first round. Here are 5 options for pick No. 59 for the San Antonio Spurs.

The San Antonio Spurs are about due for a second-round gem. Davis Bertans, who played his first NBA minutes this season after being drafted in 2011, was their last second round pick (via trade with the Indiana Pacers) to become a contributor for the team.

The Spurs are ready for a little second-round magic too. With so many key players entering free agency and not a lot of money to spend, this late pick could wind up playing meaningful minutes right off the bat.

San Antonio’s greatest position of need is at center, even if Pau Gasol and Dewayne Dedmon both come back to the team. Therefore, they should look to select one of the many talented centers with their first round pick, leaving their second selection of the night for another need.

With Manu Ginobili possibly retiring, and Patty Mills and Jonathon Simmons entering free agency, the San Antonio Spurs could need help on the perimeter for 2017-18. This player should be able to defend multiple positions and hit the three in order to contribute right away. With Danny Green having a player option for 2018-19, a player in his mold may be a necessity.
