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

5. Davon Reed, SG, Miami

Davon Reed is a senior out of Miami who you will not see on your more popular mock drafts, as DraftExpress, Tankathon and NBADraft.net all currently have him not being selected on June 22. But with the 59th pick in the draft, the “potentially undrafted pool” is the exact place the San Antonio Spurs will be looking when they prepare to make this selection.

There is a lot to like about Reed considering today’s style of play in the NBA. He has the right size (6’6″ 206 pounds) length (7’0″ wingspan) and skill-set (3-and-D) to be a wing on a winning team.

Unfortunately for Reed, he has a few red flags that keep good players like him from having high draft stock. First, he was a senior this year, making him 3-4 years older than most of the top prospects. Second, he doesn’t have quite the athleticism or ball-handling skills to make him a natural shot creator.

These facts shouldn’t deter San Antonio though. Reed is a competitor on defense and a guy who can hit a spot up three on offense, just the type of player the Spurs like. He could fit in right away on the roster with all of their potential departures over the next couple of years, and slowly build his game under Gregg Popovich & co.
