Get to know your new Spur: Joe Wieskamp

After reaching for the stars and going with upside and potential over immediate impact with their first round pick of Josh Primo, the San Antonio Spurs took a more traditional route with their second round pick, selecting 6’7” swingman Joe Wieskamp at 41st, who is considered one of the top shooters in this draft class.

Born in Muscatine, Iowa, Wieskamp was a multi-sport athlete growing up. He played baseball and was a quarterback in middle school, but he quit after breaking his thumb and decided to focus entirely on basketball by the time he was in high school, where he had a storied carrier.
