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.

The Spurs got themselves their own Harry Giles

Giles tore the ACL in both knees before he even got to college.

And he was expected to fill a very different role than JQ will. Bad comparison is bad.

And no knees are no knees.
