San Antonio Spurs should consider Xavier Tillman with the 41st pick

Michigan State's Xavier Tillman, someone for the San Antonio Spurs to consider in the draft, makes a shot during the first half on Sunday, March 8, 2020, at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.

No team makes use of their second-round draft picks the way the San Antonio Spurs do and MSU forward Xavier Tillman would be a solid two-way prospect.

The San Antonio Spurs’ focus is and should be on first-round prospects with their first lottery pick in decades, but that doesn’t mean their scouting department can take it easy on late-round prospects. In an NBA Draft class that’s less top-loaded than a year ago, there seems to be tremendous draft value later in the first round and into the second round.
