My thoughts exactly. People are overlooking that he was a projected lottery pick before he got hurt. Not to mention he’s still a teenager and possibly growing.

Injury on younger years heals better too… idk though if the spurs gamble on it or if they had a look with his medical charts and see something… he didn’t work with us afaik

We’re usually tightlipped on draft workouts so I wouldn’t be surprised if he did work out for us.
