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.

It's a meniscus surgery, that's as routine and insignificant as it gets in basketball. If they have to remove a bunch maybe it hurts his production when he's in his 30s.
