Despite question marks, the San Antonio Spurs might be tempted to bet on the young Lithuanian Matas Buzelis' skill set and upside
The Spurs enter the June 26 NBA draft armed with a pair of top 10 picks for the first time in team history, holding the No. 4 and No. 8 selections. Had it not been for last year, when the Spurs famously nabbed Victor Wembanyama first overall, either of those picks would have marked the club’s highest draft slots since 1997.
By the time his prep career began at Chicago’s Hinsdale Central High, Buzelis had gravitated to the family sport of basketball. He finished high school at a pair of prep schools – Brewster Academy in New Hampshire and Sunrise Christian Academy in Kansas, where he was a 2023 McDonald’s All-American. A five-star recruit, Buzelis eschewed college offers from Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida and Wake Forest to spend a year with the Ignite, where he averaged 14.4 points and 6.9 rebounds.
