San Antonio Spurs' Latest Long-Term Project Could Really Pay Off

The San Antonio Spurs are no strangers to long-term projects, and 2015 second-round pick Cady Lalanne could become the franchise's next success story.

A 6'9" center who attended the University of Massachusetts, Lalanne won't don a San Antonio uniform during an NBA regular-season game for a couple more seasons.

Though his first professional jersey will read "Spurs," the team's location will be Austin. Per Alicia DelGallo of the Orlando Sentinel, Lalanne agreed on draft night to spend his first season with the Development League squad.

DelGallo notes San Antonio Spurs director of scouting and Austin Spurs general manager Brian Pauga noticed progression during summer league action.
