Spurs selected Ja’Kobi Gillespie with the No. 42 pick in the NBA Draft.
After two seasons at Belmont and one at Maryland, the 6-foot, 182-pound Gillespie transferred to Tennessee for his senior season. Appearing in 37 games, he averaged 18.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.1 steals and 2.8 three-pointers, shooting 41.0 percent from the field and 81.4 percent from the foul line. Gillespie’s speed and acumen helped him compensate for the lack of size, and that will need to remain the case at the next level. In San Antonio, his ability to defend will give him a chance to fight for minutes on the back end of the rotation. Gillespie may not offer much in redraft leagues, but he’s worth having on a roster in dynasty leagues.
