Jayden Quaintance Joins Spurs With the 20th Pick in NBA Draft
The San Antonio Spurs selected Kentucky forward Jayden Quaintance with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. A surprising selection by San Antonio as the standout rim protector has dealt with nagging complications and knee swelling after suffering a torn ACL and meniscus in February 2025. During his first campaign as a Wildcat, he played in just four contests, averaging 5.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks on 57.1 percent shooting before he was shut down in December for the remainder of the campaign. Despite the setback, if Quaintance can get back on track, he could be a valuable frontcourt asset suiting up alongside Victor Wembanyama.
