Spurs Target Duke Big Man Ngongba to Pair with Wembanyama

The San Antonio Spurs are targeting Duke's 6‑11 Patrick Ngongba in the 2026 NBA Draft to pair with Victor Wembanyama, boosting inside play and rim protection.

According to a mock draft by Ricky O'Donnell of SB Nation, the Spurs could select Patrick Ngongba at No. 12, pairing him with Victor Wembanyama. Ngongba, a 6‑11 big with strong finishing, passing, and paint protection, would complement Wembanyama’s rim‑protecting presence and create a formidable inside duo.
