Even prior to the implementation of two-way contracts and the expansion of the G League, the San Antonio Spurs have been using the developmental league to train and prepare their prospects for professional competition. It’s never a surprise to see young Spurs head over to Austin to hone their skills along with the expert training and development staff implemented by general manager R.C. Buford and his staff.
One gem that the Spurs picked up from last year’s draft class is Oregon State center Drew Eubanks, who worked his tail off in Austin all year long in an attempt to solidify himself as a legitimate NBA player.
