The San Antonio Spurs are entering a new era unlike anything they’ve seen since at least the mid 1980’s: rebuilding. Gone are the likes of LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMar DeRozan, and Patty Mills (not to mention any remnants from the bygone championship days outside of Gregg Popovich), and as a result, the effort the Spurs have put into building a young foundation behind the scenes via the draft over the last several years are coming to a head.
This is an organization that has always prided itself on its drafting prowess and making the most of players overlooked by other organizations.
