The Spurs are readying themselves for a post-Duncan future by investing resources into developing Boban Marjanovic into the center of the future. He walks along a well-trod path. Other centers of the future that they have developed include:
DeJuan Blair
Felton Spencer
Antonio McDyess
Rasho Nesterovic
Ian Mahinmi
Cherokee Parks (LOL)
Tiago Splitter
Jackie Butler
Aron Baynes
Theo Ratliff
Eric Dawson (????)
Fabricio Oberto
Kevin Willis (41 years old WTF)
Francisco Elson
Amal McCaskill (?!?!?!?!?!)
Nazr Mohammed
Shawnelle Scott
Melvin Ely
David Robinson
Turns out that the Spurs don’t really need a center of the future since their current center is apparently immortal.
