Who are San Antonio’s potential keepers next to the French rookie phenom?

Which young San Antonio Spurs players around Victor Wembanyama will be there for the long haul? The Spurs have a rebuilding roster with a lot of prospects on it, but not all of them will pan out, and some others will end up being dealt away for players who fit better next to Wemby.

The Athletic’s Zach Harper posed this question in a recent article, noting that we now know that “Wembanyama is the real deal and heading toward being one of the best players in the league in a short amount of time.” So who are the players he sees as potential keepers next to the French rookie phenom?

“The next step for the Spurs is figuring out which players on the current roster complement him long term,” he suggests. “Then, they can start filling in positions around those guys in the draft, free agency and trades.”

“Tre Jones is a keeper, and so is Devin Vassell,” writes Harper. “Who else? Is Jeremy Sochan going to fit when this team is good? ”

“Is OIympic gold medalist Keldon Johnson the correct wing to have next to Vassell and Wemby? Strong finishes help answer all that.”
