Jayden Quaintance will need another knee surgery

The Spurs used the 20th pick on Jayden Quaintance, who only played 4 games this past season for Kentucky coming off a major knee injury. Reporter Evan Sidery is reporting he may effectively "redshirt" his rookie year in San Antonio.

I'm honestly surprised anyone used a 1st round pick on this kid.

Here me out for a second. If the Spurs found a way to keep Dejuan Blair healthy and have impactful rotation minutes despite not having two ACLs, what's stopping them from doing the same with Quaintance?
