3 teams that should look to take a flier on Markelle Fultz

3. San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs organization has become somewhat of the NBA’s unofficial rehab facility for castaway players.

Head coach Gregg Popovich famously turned Patty Mills and Danny Green into productive members of a championships squad, while countless others have seen their talents maximized in ways not possible outside San Antonio.

It’s never really mattered how good the Spurs are in any given year, they aren’t granted much of the national media spotlight, which can be frustrating for attention-hungry fans who just want their team to be respected, but could be perfect for a beaten-down former star college athlete who just needs to lay low for a while and get his mind and body right.

San Antonio already has a couple of guards for the future in Dejounte Murray and Lonnie Walker IV. The combo happens to be rehabbing from their own injuries, but both appear to be valuable pieces to the Spurs as they transition into this new era.

Still, it could never hurt to take a chance on someone with so much potential, especially with the team still not at a title-contending level. Popovich has always been great at managing minutes, and if anyone can help Fultz in his quest to regain whatever it is he lost, it’s the future Hall of Fame coach along with probably the best culture throughout the league today.
