Following Victor Wembanyama’s impressive rookie season, the San Antonio Spurs have a huge chance to improve their roster this summer. However, they could also choose to take their time. Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report predicts that the Spurs will choose to “play it slow” this summer.
“The San Antonio Spurs are another team that should be intrigued by the 2025 draft class,” Bailey wrote. “A Flagg-Victor Wembanyama duo could dominate the league for much of the next decade. However, there’s also an argument for San Antonio to be aggressive this summer. Wemby is ready to win now, and a solid point guard would help him do that. The Spurs could try to take a shortcut and target someone like Trae Young (though that reportedly doesn’t interest them) or be more cautious and use one of this year’s firsts on a playmaker. “There’s a strong belief around the league that San Antonio will look to upgrade at point guard this summer,” [HoopsHype’s Michael] Scotto wrote. “And the Spurs will have plenty of potential options with the fourth pick.”
“Consider this write-up a bet on the latter path. San Antonio will keep the No. 4 pick and use it one someone like Nikola Topić. And then 2024-25 could be another season packed with experimentation. It may not be quite as dramatic as attempting to transform Jeremy Sochan into a lead playmaker, but the Spurs can play plenty of young guys, stack up losses for one more year and hope for luck in the 2025 lottery.”
By playing it slow, the Spurs could create a dynasty in San Antonio around Wembanyama.
