The San Antonio Spurs, thanks to Victor Wembanayma, are a destination. Players like Kevin Durant, De'Aaron Fox, and plenty of elite draft prospects want to play for the Spurs.
Even Tim Duncan didn't have this kind of pull.
The Spurs are expected to draft Dylan Harper second overall, but they also boast the 14th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and players are lining up, making their case to be the pick.
Cedric Coward, Joan Beringer, Noa Essengue, Derik Queen, and Thomas Sorber, among others, are all possibilities with the 14th pick. Of course, the Spurs could trade the selection for a win-now player, although the soon-to-be-rookies would prefer if that didn't happen.
Sorber thinks he and Wembanyama can share the floor.
"They'd probably put him on the perimeter and use me as a five," Sorber told Sports Illustrated's Matt Guzman. "That'd be an intangible duo. It'd be special."
In the NBA, the Spurs paired Wemby with Zach Collins. In the Olympics, the French National Team paired him with Rudy Gobert. Both teams ended up finding more success with Wembanyama as their lone big man, although it has long been a goal for the Spurs to find a center and slot Wemby to the power forward spot.
Before a foot injury cut his season short, Sorber averaged 14.5 points and 18.5 rebounds per game for the Georgetown Hoyas. He is not a floor-spacing center like Collins tried to be, and he is an effective, but not elite, rim protector like either Wembanyama or Gobert.
If the Spurs add him, expect him to be a solid bench player for San Antonio.
