“Wembanyama?” People will start to say that it’s not…

With Victor Wembanyama at the head of the bill, we already know straight away that the Spurs will be very popular this season. This is an opportunity for the franchise to shine, but also to remind us that Wemby is not the only talent available to Gregg Popovich in Texas.

It’s still difficult to know what the Spurs can aim for this season in the West. We know that the competition is tough on this side, with the Nuggets, Lakers, Warriors or the Suns to name a few. It’s not easy to find a place in the postseason, or even to dream of a long run. It is in this context that San Antonio hopes to find a place under the leadership of Victor Wembanyama. However, there are still some doubts about the Frenchman.

The talent is there for Victor, that’s for sure. But will he manage to shine from the start for the Spurs and continue the meetings? It remains to be seen, especially since his team will not hesitate to spare him if necessary. This will perhaps be an opportunity for other players to remember that they exist, especially since the Texans have other weapons available to cause pain.

Wembanyama far from being lonely at Spurs

With Devonte’ Graham, Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell, San Antonio can hope to develop other players during the campaign. This is why it will be interesting to follow the Spurs, as journalist Kevin O’Connor explains in his recent podcast. According to him, it is important to understand that it is not only Wemby under Popovich’s orders.

« I’m excited to see how this clicks now that eyeballs will be on the Spurs. People are gonna say, ‘oh, it’s not just Wemby there.’ They have a heck of a lot of talent. Good things are happening in SA, and they’re built to win for a long, long, long time. » – Kevin O’Connor pic.twitter.com/YTwppYK4uh

Kevin O’Connor : “I can’t wait to see how things develop now that eyes are on Spurs. People will start to think ‘oh, it’s not just Wemby over there’. They have a lot of talent. Good things happen to SA, and they are built to win for a very long time. »

Several players to follow at Spurs, and the simple presence of Wembanyama will help shine a light on them. Suffice to say that the pressure will be greater in Texas, but it is high time to return to the forefront in San Antonio. This is also Victor’s priority for his first season.

With Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs know that they will have no room for error in the West. Many media and fans will be following the progress of his team, while the Frenchman will not be alone in his mission. Keldon Johnson and company have been warned.
