Tag: Spurs Offseason

Victor Wembanyama was absolutely incredible in his rookie season with the San Antonio Spurs. He was one of the best defensive players in the league, and his offense came along, too. However, if the Spurs want to reach their peak, they need to make roster additions this summer. Jacob Douglas of Pounding the Rock believes three-point shooting is one of their biggest needs.

“As Wembanyama becomes a dominant presence inside, the Spurs need shooters who can space the floor around him,” Douglas wrote. “Double teams are always going to come the big man’s way. Wemby is a good passer who should be able to punish teams by spraying out to shooters. It’s imperative the Spurs prioritize acquiring shooters this offseason.”

The Spurs will have multiple opportunities to add shooters this summer, including in free agency, in the draft, and on the trade market.

If they can get guys who can reliably space the floor for Wmebanyama, their offense could reach a whole new level.

This summer will be an important one for the San Antonio Spurs, as they have a chance to set the foundation of their organization around Victor Wembanyama. The 20-year-old Frenchman already looks like one of the best players in the league, and putting a competent team around him early-on could be super valuable.

That said, the Spurs have a bunch of different things to focus on this summer. There’s free agency, where they could use some of their cap space to bring in veterans. There’s the trade market, where they could leverage some of their draft capital in pursuit of a star. There’s the 2024 NBA Draft, where they are projected to have a top-five pick.

The Cyro Asseo YouTube channel recently discussed the Spurs’ priorities this summer and how they should handle them.

What is the best way to build around Wembanyama? That is the question the Spurs need to be constantly asking themselves this offseason.
