Quaintance Joins Spurs With Duncan’s Number

The Spurs just drafted Jayden Quaintance with the 20th pick—six-foot-ten, wingspan of seven-foot-five, elite shot-blocker—and he’s got a legacy to match his talent: he’ll wear a new number, 21, because it’s retired for Tim Duncan. Quaintance, a fan of the legend who played his entire career in San Antonio, is ready to join a defense that could pair him with Victor Wembanyama. He’s got knee issues, including ACL and meniscus tears, but doctors say he’ll be fine. The Spurs, known for developing talent, are betting on his upside—and it’s a gamble that could pay off big for their defense. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
