San Antonio Spurs take a swing at forward Luka Samanic with 19th pick

In an interesting turn of events, the San Antonio Spurs added Croatian forward Luka Samanic with the 19th overall selection in the 2019 NBA Draft. Samanic is a lengthy 6-foot-11 power forward with a wide range of skills at his disposal. Not only can he become a pivotal floor spacer for this organization, but the 19-year-old has shown flashes of a massive range of capabilities as a slasher, ball handler and distributor.

The Spurs worked out Samanic a few weeks back in the Alamo City and were impressed by his showing at the 2019 NBA Draft Combine.
