What we learned from the Spurs’ Win over the Hawks
It’s a strange task to learn something from the first game after what could turn out to be a watershed moment the history of the Spurs – ie. the 2022 trade deadline, in which San Antonio stocked their war chest for the upcoming draft from one to very likely three first-round picks. Despite the emphatic win last night, two questions are probably going to overshadow the remainder of the regular season.
Where will the Spurs land in the lottery? Right now, they have the sixth worst record in the league. Which means their likeliest landing spot is sixth.
Provided their own pick will be second or lower, which is likely: Will they package one or both of the acquired picks to move up?
