Victor Wembanyama will change the Spurs' fortunes, but not all at once. Getting San Antonio back on top of the NBA will happen step at a time.
Victor Wembanyama will change the course of Spurs history after four straight seasons outside of the playoffs. But it would be foolish to think he'll do so all at once.Victor Wembanyama can change everything, but not all at once. The Spurs know better than to expect that.
The strategy that led them here required years of careful steps, implemented piece by piece. Maximizing the impact of the most hyped basketball prospect in generations will demand similar foresight. There is urgency, to be sure, because when you’re gifted with the mind-blowing chance to build your franchise around a teenager with enough skill and size to reinvent how the sport is played, you don’t want to waste a second of it. But making every moment count doesn’t mean blowing off the future.
The Spurs’ goal with Wembanyama isn’t merely to win an NBA championship as soon as they can. They want to ensure they can win several of them. They want to build something that continues what the Tim Duncan era established, and endures into Wembanyama’s second contract, and his third, and beyond.Hours after choosing Wembanyama with the first pick in the 2023 NBA draft, the Spurs use the No. 33 selection on his French teammate, 6-foot-7 wing Bilal Coulibaly.
