As the 2023-24 NBA season winds down, the San Antonio Spurs don’t have much hope of playing beyond the regular season. In fact, there’s almost no chance that they make the Play-In Tournament, but that’s alright. The fans in San Antonio have other things to watch for and more things to be excited about in the long run.
The most obvious of those things is Victor Wembanyama. For the final stretch of the season, fans should be keeping a close eye on Wembanyama to see how well he plays, as he finally has some NBA games under his belt. But San Antonio fans aren’t the only people who should be keeping tabs on Wembanyama.
According to Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report, Wembanyama’s progression is one of the top six “biggest NBA storylines” fans should be watching down the final stretch of the season.
“All arrows point toward this being the dawn of the NBA’s next superstar,” Buckley wrote. “And the lottery-bound Spurs can use the entirety of their stretch run to focus on Wembanyama’s development. He already seemed to tier-up during the month of February (when he averaged 21.3 points on 47.4/41.3/83.1 shooting with 10.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.9 blocks per game), and he could keep climbing the ladder over the final six weeks.”
Wembanyama is already incredible, and he still has a long way to go.
