An Iowa State Cyclones star has landed with the San Antonio Spurs in a recent NBA mock draft.

Bleacher Report released its latest 2026 NBA mock draft on Wednesday, and it featured a current Iowa basketball star being selected early on. Bleacher Report is projecting senior guard Bennett Stirtz to be taken with the 17th overall pick by the Memphis Grizzlies. They gave him an NBA comp of Malcolm Brogdon and had this say about Stirtz:

Iowa displayed just how good they can be beating Indiana handily on the road. It has them quietly among college basketball's biggest winners.

Iowa men's basketball faced off against Indiana on Jan. 17 at Assembly Hall. Here are takeaways from the game.

Tip-off is at 2:00 p.m. ET on NBCSN and Peacock.
