Spurs Legend and Strategic Partner David Robinson is representing the Spurs at the Lottery this evening.

Last year, the Spurs received the 12th overall pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. The No. 12 pick ended up becoming Alabama guard Joshua Primo.

If the Spurs were to receive the first overall pick, it would be for just the third time in franchise history and first time in 25 years. In the two previous occurrences, the Spurs selected a Hall of Famer with the top pick: Robinson in 1987 and Tim Duncan in 1997.

Candidates for the top overall pick this year include Auburn's Jabari Smith, Duke's Paolo Banchero and Gonzaga's Chet Holmgren.
