It's never too early to talk about the 2026 NBA Draft, especially with the San Antonio Spurs having a potential lottery pick. If the season were to end today, their selection would be 27th, but they own a pick swap with the Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks are currently ninth in the Eastern Conference and face an uphill battle to make the playoffs, which could result in the Spurs ending up with the 12th selection in this year's draft. Drafting solely off need is generally a no-no, particularly in the lottery.
Still, San Antonio should strongly consider picking a power forward, with Michigan's Yaxel Lendeborg being a terrific option.
