Spurs Eye Duke Big Man Ngongba to Pair with Wembanyama

The Spurs are eyeing Duke center Patrick Ngongba in the 2026 draft to pair with Victor Wembanyama, according to a mock by Ricky O'Donnell.

The San Antonio Spurs, loaded with young talent, are looking to the 2026 NBA Draft to add more depth. A mock by Ricky O'Donnell of SB Nation projects the team to select Duke center Patrick Ngongba at No. 12.

Ngongba, a 6‑11 big with strong finishing, passing, and rim‑protection instincts, would complement Victor Wembanyama and give the Spurs a powerful inside duo.
