The 2025-26 season ended disappointingly for the San Antonio Spurs. Despite outperforming expectations and making it all the way to the NBA Finals, San Antonio has to feel it came up short after losing to the New York Knicks 4-1. The time for licking wounds should be brief, though, especially for the front office. The NBA Draft is a mere week away, and the Spurs have a real chance to add young players who can help them win a championship in the future.
San Antonio’s front office has been busy during the postseason, hosting draft prospects for workouts. The Spurs own four picks in the draft: #20, #35, #42, and #44. The front office has brought in players who are considered to go in the late-first to early-second round range. If there is any smoke of them moving up in the draft (and so far there hasn’t been), we could see some higher-profile players work out for the team this week, leading up to the draft.

For now, let’s take a look at the guys who have reportedly worked out for the Spurs so far. The list of players stems from HoopsHype’s draft workout tracker.
Allen Graves, 6’8” PF/C, Santa Clara
22.6 minutes, 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.9 steals, 51.2% shooting, 41.3% three, 75% free throw
Graves is this draft’s riser after a productive freshman season at Santa Clara. He’s a big forward with excellent defensive instincts who shot the ball well from three in college. Graves isn’t the most athletic or physically imposing player, but he makes up for it with smart positional defense and aggression on the defensive end. Offensively, he profiles as a connective playmaker and pick-and-pop threat.

San Antonio needs a player like Graves – a big four who can defend, pass, and shoot the ball. He’s not a perfect fit, as he lacks the physicality, interior finishing, and rebounding ability that Victor Wembanyama’s ideal front-court partner would bring to the table. It’s hard to see him coming out of school and filling a substantial role for the Spurs immediately, but he’d give them another look in their front court as a stretch big.
Chris Cenac Jr., 6’10” PF/C, Houston
