I'm excited about next season. Maybe we can see a rivalry between these top picks, Chet Holmgren and Wembanyama. Hopefully, no injuries especially on these 2 players. I'm also not sure if Wembanyama will be happy at San Antonio but the team is known to have legendary David Robinson and Tim Duncan and Wembanyama is the 3rd coming. And with coach Pop who's been developing players into stars, he will learn a lot which will be very important in his early days in the NBA. I expect him to gain some weight as the team will assess him. And with his playing style and skills, he is capable of avoiding injuries if he keeps away from being too physical while his body is still developing.
Wonder how Wemby holds up tho. Players with his size have a spotty health track record. He might not get career ending injuries, more such diminishing his effectiveness a la Porizingis. That said the Spurs are the original "DNP - OLD" champions, so there is hope.
Well, San Antonio with the 1st pick in the draft this year, they did everything in their power to get some odds to get it, and it was successful.
Sometimes losing pays out
.
Guess the NBA is not suuuper happy since they obviously want to see Wembanyama in a big market but since LA, NY and so on all had good seasons it is what it is.
It will definitely be good for Wemby because he will get a great coach (that just signed an extension) which is know for developing players into stars. Also since Texas has vno state income tax he can earn more money on his rookie contract.
Looking forward for summer league and so on, it's gonna be a show!
