2023 NBA Draft: San Antonio Spurs Official Selections and Draft Grades

Who did the San Antonio Spurs select in the 2023 NBA Draft?

Via some luck on lottery night, the Spurs now have one of the brightest futures in the NBA.

It’s been a forgone conclusion for over a month now that the Spurs were leaving the draft with French phenom Victor Wembanyama, who has taken the draft world by storm for the past few years. Now, he’ll look to join Jeremy Sochan, Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson in the team’s growing core.

But San Antonio also went into the night with multiple second round picks.

Here’s how the rest of the Spurs’ draft unfolded:

Draft Summary

Overall, the Spurs may have won the night in the first five minutes.

Even if San Antonio had just left the draft with presumptive top-pick Victor Wembanyama they've have graded A-plus here. But the addition of highly-touted G League wing Sidy Cissoko, who also hails from France, was icing on the cake.

In Wembanyama, the Spurs added the sun in which their roster will revolve around for the foreseeable future. At 7-foot-4, Wembanyama is one of the greatest draft prospects we've ever seen, and is sure to back it up on-court in the 2023-24 season.

With Cissoko, they've added an athletic, bulky, physical wing who should add plenty in the ways of good passing and defense, as well as secondary playmaking.
