Will the San Antonio Spurs’ tanking strategy pay off?

Will the San Antonio Spurs’ tanking pay off in the long run?

The San Antonio Spurs have been struggling this season. They’ve been one of the worst teams in the league and sit at the bottom of the Western Conference, a place they’ve been in for the majority of the season. But last year, their tanking paid off in the form of 20-year-old Frenchman Victor Wembanyama.

Wembanyama has been nothing short of incredible this season, churning out impressive performances on a nightly basis. With his size and skillset, combined with his personable nature, he should be a great face of the franchise in San Antonio for years to come. But what about moving forward?

The NBA Swish YouTube channel recently discussed whether or not the Spurs’ tanking strategy will pay off for the organization in the long run.

The Spurs already have Wembanyama, so the tank has been worth it for that fact alone. But who else will they be able to snag in future drafts?
