The San Antonio Spurs could see value in Wesley Iwundu's versatility at both ends of the floor.

His final two NCAA tournament games (21.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists) should have been eye-openers for scouts who hadn't closely followed Kansas State.

And it's possible they buy into his jumper improving after he finished with career highs in three-point makes (32) and free-throw percentage (76.7 percent).

Becoming a reliable shooter will be still be key, but with an NBA body, playmaking ability (3.5 assists per game) and the potential to guard multiple positions, Iwundu checks unique, important boxes.

Like the profile of this guy as ultimately a Green replacement with better offensive tools.

When Manu leaves Green days are numbered since he can't dribble the ball.

29. San Antonio Spurs: Wesley Iwundu (Kansas State, SG/SF, Senior)

The San Antonio Spurs could view Wesley Iwundu as a sleeper.

Athletic with NBA-caliber tools for a wing, he averaged at least 3.5 assists in back-to-back seasons, which points to his unique passing and playmaking. But in 2017, he eased some concerns over his shooting, having hit 32 threes at a 37.6 percent clip.

Quick and strong enough to defend, Iwundu's two-way versatility could entice. He'll have the chance to improve his stock further at next week's NBA combine.
