The Spurs add another intriguing long-term talent in Simisola Shittu, who should probably come off the board higher than 30. A virtual non-shooter, Shittu will take time, but his skill set is something San Antonio should be willing to cultivate.
At 6-foot-8, Shittu is an excellent athlete with NBA-ready strength. Add in legitimate handles and high-level passing chops, and he’s already a dynamic transition threat. Shittu can also finish around the rim, though his touch gets shaky outside the painted area.
On the defensive end, Shittu can switch across the positional spectrum while providing value as a weak-side rim protector. With his knee looking healthy, it’s reasonable to expect Shittu to gain more traction as the season progresses.
