SAN ANTONIO — “As you can see, we had a type.”San Antonio Spurs General Manager Brian Wright wasn’t hiding from it. His team reached the NBA Finals a few weeks ago despite opposing bigs dominating the trenches: The Spurs kept running into centers such as Isaiah Hartenstein and Mitchell Robinson, who could play with second units and feast under the rim.That has to change, for several reasons. Not just so the Spurs can consistently win minutes with Victor Wembanyama on the bench in the postseason, but so they can allow him to get his proper rest. That meant they had a “type” on draft night.The Spurs’ backup big rotation had a combined 46 years of experience last season. That’s about to change after San Antonio selected Kentucky center Jayden Quaintance (20th pick) and Connecticut center Tarris Reed Jr. (26th pick) in the first round of the NBA Draft on Tuesday night. Luke Kornet was the only backup center coach Mitch Johnson was willing to play rotation minutes in the postseason. The hope is that will change down the road, if not sooner.NBA Draft 2026: Winners and Losers from Round 1Zach Harper and CJ MooreWright and the front office took two different swings in the first round, starting with a lottery talent in Quaintance, whose extended recovery from a torn right ACL sent him falling down draft boards.“We do our homework, and we’ve got a great medical team that’s very thorough in their analysis and process,” Wright said. “And we’ve spent time with his representatives going through where he is and his rehabilitation process and what the options are. We got comfortable about what that looks like today and then the long-term prognosis, as well.”
