Good control guards are hard to flow into the trading market! The Spurs' No. 4 signing should be targeted at him?

In the draw ceremony of this year's NBA draft conference, the San Antonio Spurs were just so lucky. The Spurs, who ranked fifth from the bottom in the regular season, used their first round draw to draw the fourth. Since the Toronto Raptors finally drew the No. 8 lottery, and according to the previous content involving the Jakob Poeltl transaction, the first round of the lottery in the hands of the Raptors is protected by the top six, which means that the Spurs will have two lottery tickets in this year's NBA draft conference, namely, the No. 4 lottery ticket in the first round and the No. 8 lottery ticket in the first round.

For many Spurs fans, they believe that the key goal of the Spurs in this year's draft conference is the position of small forward. However, judging from the actual demand, the Spurs also have Keldon Johnson, the sixth person at least in the position of small forward. On the other hand, judging from the difficulty of signing in the free market, reliable front-line players are also easier to find than reliable point guards. Most importantly, the Spurs need to find a long-term backcourt partner for Victor Wembanyama. This player needs to have excellent passing ability and organizational ability, as well as a certain ability to score independently. In other words, the third position can find a temporary worker, but the first position should find a player who can grow up with the Wenban. In nine cases out of ten, those point guards who will flow into the trading market have some shortcomings, and are difficult to become championship level point guards.

If the Spurs want to use the No. 4 draw, they should use the blade, so they should also focus on the No. 1 player. Nikola Topic, Stephen Castle, Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham are the key objects they need to focus on. Among these players, the one who meets the requirements most, or the only one who meets the requirements, is Topic. Whether Castle and Shepard can be qualified as point guards is also unknown. Dillingham's physical talent and defensive contribution are somewhat too limited. In this case, the help of the Spurs in selecting them for the team may also be very limited.

Obviously, only Topic seems to be able to play the role of the core of the backcourt. He has a super tall body, and he has excellent individual scoring ability, organization and series ability. As a player under the age of 19, he can play such an amazing performance this season, which is also worthy of affirmation. Among these players, only Topic seems to be able to carry the No. 1 flag of the Spurs, and his adaptability to Wenban is also the highest among all players. In any case, the Spurs should also take Topic as the number one target of the fourth signing and try to get him.
