For the past few months, the San Antonio Spurs have been linked to Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young. The All-Star point guard could be a great fit next to Victor Wembanyama. And in Andy Baily of Bleacher Report’s latest article, he listed Young as a potential “realistic” offseason target for the Spurs.
“Recent reporting suggests the San Antonio Spurs aren’t interested in Young,” Bailey wrote. “His lack of size and defensive ability probably have something to do with that. But they have the contracts and assets to make a compelling offer to Atlanta. And even if there is some downside that comes with Young, he’s one of the league’s most prolific offensive engines and best lob passers.
“He would instantly have this team in the hunt for a top-10 offense while dramatically improving Wembanyama’s expected field-goal percentage. He knows how to create opportunities for bigs out of the pick-and-roll or isolations, and he’d be willing to get Wemby the ball for those open opportunities.”
Adding Young’s offensive game would help take Wembanyama and the Spurs to the next level.
