R.C. Buford was in attendance for Pittsburgh’s home finale against Villanova, presumably to scout Steven Adams.
Adams, a native of New Zealand and a possible first-round selection in the forthcoming NBA draft, did not play in the game because he sprained an ankle in practice the day before.
The Spurs employ another New Zealander, Sean Marks, in their front office.
Marks serves as Buford’s director of basketball operations and remains involved in basketball in his home country.
