Do the San Antonio Spurs need a franchise point guard this offseason?

Or can they set their sights lower?

The San Antonio Spurs are, by all accounts, looking to get better in a hurry to keep rookie French forward phenom Victor Wembanyama happy and hopefully winning more games. But what sort of player ought the Spurs be targeting for that end?

For that particular question, Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz has an idea of what San Antonio should be looking for. “The Spurs have used quantity over quality to combat their lack of point guards on the roster this season,” writes Swartz. “There’s no denying this team needs a franchise floor general, though, especially for the development of Victor Wembanyama.”

“This team shouldn’t be afraid to add veteran talent around Wembanyama immediately and try to win,” adds the B/R NBA analyst.

“A trade for Trae Young or reunion with Dejounte Murray would be tremendous for the 20-year-old’s development overall,” suggests Swartz.

Even if the Spurs set their sights lower, they ought to see a marked improvement over their play this season, which has had at best replacement-level floor generals on the court — if any at all.
