The San Antonio Spurs changed the course of their franchise forever last offseason when they picked Victor Wembanyama with the first overall pick. The French big man has been amazing in his rookie season, and this summer will be a chance for the Spurs to build on the success he’s found by putting a better team around him.
Because they have struggled so much this year from a win-loss perspective, the Spurs will have another top pick in the upcoming draft. This means they should be able to add a second high-level young prospect to pair with Wembanyama. But what direction should they go in during the draft?
The Locked On Spurs podcast recently discussed whether or not the Spurs should target the best for their roster or the best player in the draft.
Adding a player who fits well next to Wembanyama would be ideal for the Spurs, but at the same time, getting the best player available seems like the smart decision.
