As the San Antonio Spurs get set to enter the 2023-24 season, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs selected the 19-year-old Frenchman with the first pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and he’s one of the most hyped-up prospects in the last 20 years. He has enough talent to lead the team for the next decade-plus.
But for the immediate future, the Spurs’ gameplan should be to surround him with as much talent as possible. It’s been reported that the Spurs plan to play Wembanyama at the power forward position, with Zach Collins manning the center position. In turn, adding center help could be a priority moving forward.
Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report recently wrote a mock trade that would see them do just that, landing Naz Reid in a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
