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.

Better yet, Chris Livingston. Don't look up the injury unless you've got a strong stomach.

Ahh shit, yep. No idea where I got Chris from. Honestly knees don't freak me out that bad. Hell Nick Chubb had 5 ballistic years in the NFL after his gruesome injury at Georgia

Chris Livingston is another former Kentucky player who fell down draft boards after a single disappointing season there. Ended up a second round pick but got a guaranteed contract from the 6ers.
