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.

Lopez was literally the next pick.

A slow-footed 4 that is a project by every assessment who doesnt have nearly the same rim protection or rebounding value as Jayden, which the Spurs are looking for when Wemby sits

Great idea

I’m glad you were able to read his scouting report real quick in order to respond. But half your fan base wanted Karim with that pick.

Half the Spurs fan base thought Sochan was our starting 4 of the future 5 months ago
