The Spurs began by drafting Luka Samanic. The 19-year-old Croatian was chosen nineteenth within the 2019 draft, so naturally he selected #19. I’ve a particular place in my coronary heart for Samanic as he was the member of the Spurs to whom I ever posed a query. I spent the primary three days of July in Salt Lake Metropolis at Summer season League and had the chance to talk to the gamers and sit with journalists studying the ropes.
Samanic spent two years with the Silver & Black, adopted by two years within the G-League (one with the Knicks and one with the Celtics), He then signed with the Utah Jazz. He’s at the moment taking part in with Baskonia in Spain.
As a result of the Spurs traded Kawhi Leonard and Danny Inexperienced to the Toronto Raptors in trade for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and their 2019 first spherical choose, the Spurs ended up with the twenty ninth choose of the draft. Keldon Johnson was chosen and is at the moment the longest tenured member of the Spurs.
With the forty ninth choose of the draft, the Spurs picked Quinndary Weartherspoon. Weatherspoon spent two years with the Spurs and one other season with the Golden State Warriors. In all, he performed in 42 NBA video games averaging simply over 2 points-per-game. Since 2022, Weathersppon has break up time in China and Puerto Rico.
