Detroit Pistons: 2020 NBA first round mock draft 1.0

The San Antonio Spurs are notoriously one of the most fundamentally sound basketball teams on the planet. None of their stars within the last three decades have been particularly flashy, they’ve all just been incredibly efficient at their respective crafts.

R.J. Hampton is someone who carries a lot of buzz with his name, but on the court he doesn’t show it. That’s not a slight against his talent level, it’s a compliment towards the way he plays his game.

He’s currently not elite at much, but he’s pretty solid at most things. Hampton has good shooting mechanics and a strong finishing ability.

The Spurs may be losing out on DeMar DeRozan this summer, and to add a new scoring piece with high upside has to be a top priority. While Hampton isn’t the best at creating shots for others, his ability to do so is at a level where teams will feel comfortable selecting him.

His court vision comes and goes, and he tends to force a few too many shots.

Under the legendary coaching staff that the Spurs have, there may not be a better team equipped with the necessary tools to properly shape Hampton’s game.
