Spurs' Victor Wembanyama just got his new point guard with NBA Draft Lottery results

The San Antonio Spurs came up one spot short of the ultimate prize.

They didn't get the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft Lottery, which would've meant pairing Victor Wembanyama with Duke's Cooper Flagg.

But the Spurs ascended the board to earn the No. 2 overall pick, and with it, the chance for something almost as important. 

With the second pick, San Antonio can take its point guard of the future.

The Athletic's John Hollinger released his big board on Monday prior to the lottery. Behind Flagg, he had two potential superstar point guards.

At No. 2 on the board, directly behind Flagg, was Rutgers freshman Dylan Harper.

And at No. 3, Hollinger had Baylor freshman V.J. Edgecombe.

Many mock drafts and draft boards have another Rutgers freshman, Ace Bailey, in the top-three. In some ways, he'd be an intriguing partner for Wembanyama just due to his size and scoring ability.

But the Spurs, even with De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle in town, need a supreme ball handler before they need more size.

Harper is a bit more of an old-school point guard, not quite the supreme athlete but capable of doing every single thing you need a lead guard to do.

Edgecombe is the freakish athlete, the John Wall-lite, with immense upside due to his leaping talent.

Either would be an exciting outcome for the Spurs, who never expected to finish that high on the lottery board to begin with.

San Antonio also has the No. 13 pick, so they can really come away from the draft with two more future stars.
