Spurs Draft Reactions & More | In the Building | EP. 590

The draft is in the books, and while Spurs fans may not have gotten a flashy headline move, Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay see something more important: roster balance. The guys break down San Antonio drafting Jayden Quaintance and Terrace Reed, two bigs who immediately address the team’s biggest weakness after getting bullied physically during the Finals run. Mike and Rudy both agree the front office prioritized toughness, depth, and long-term development over splash.

Terrace Reed gets a lot of love as a plug-and-play contributor who can rebound, defend, and provide much-needed physicality behind Victor Wembanyama. Jayden Quaintance brings more intrigue as the high-upside swing, with the only major concern being his recovery from injury. Beyond the draft, the conversation shifts to De’Aaron Fox’s future, Brian Wright’s public support of Fox and Mitch Johnson, and why Spurs fans may need to accept that this core is staying together for now. As always, the hoops talk is mixed with golf rants, TV recommendations, and completely unhinged side conversations.

Topics Covered:
  • Spurs draft Jayden Quaintance and Terrace Reed
  • Why San Antonio prioritized size and toughness
  • Terrace Reed as an immediate rotation piece
  • Jayden Quaintance’s long-term upside despite injury concerns
  • Why Victor Wembanyama needs more frontcourt help
  • Brian Wright backing De’Aaron Fox and Mitch Johnson
  • Why Fox trade rumors may finally need to die
  • What You’re Watching Wednesday TV recommendations
  • San Pedro driving range frustration
  • Continued growth of the new Texas Cheer Liquor studio
  • Key Moments:
    • Mike gives the Spurs draft an early A grade
    • Rudy says the Spurs need even more “big dudes” around Wemby
    • Strong take that Oklahoma City remains the team to beat
    • Mike unloads on businesses that don’t update operating hours
    • Brutal but hilarious rant about Knicks championship behavior continues
    • The Spurs may not have made the splashiest draft-night moves, but this episode makes one thing clear: San Antonio knows exactly what kind of team it wants to become. More size, more toughness, and more support around Wemby. If these young pieces develop, the Spurs’ championship window could stay wide open for years.
