San Antonio gets mediocre marks midway through 2023-24 in new Bleacher Report assessment

When it comes to grading the Spurs at the midpoint — more or less — of the season, one has to get a bit granular.

The San Antonio Spurs are, by and large, the ball club most of us thought they would be at the start of the NBA’s 2023-24 season. A rebuilding organization focusing more on skill development than their win total, and with a host of raw prospects surrounding the franchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama, that makes all the sense in the world.

They might have had more wins in an ideal world where adding additional lottery talents to the mix through the resulting draft pick such a bad season tends to provide. But when it comes to grading the Spurs at the midpoint — more or less — of the season, one has to get a bit granular to give San Antonio marks worth reflecting on.

But that is exactly what Bleacher Report’s Andy Bailey did in a recent full-league assessment, who writes that the “San Antonio Spurs’ season-long numbers still look like a full-fledged basketball disaster, but Victor Wembanyama looks more like a bona fide star with every passing week.”
