BREAKING NEWS: Victor Wembanyama outlines a crucial part in the Spurs’ off-season team-building exercises.
The San Antonio Spurs have no doubts about who they believe will be their future. It makes sense, then, that they ask him a number of questions about that future. Victor Wembanyama is prepared and eager to decide how the team’s roster and, ultimately, its course will be decided.
The 7-foot-4 superstar told ClutchPoints exactly how much involvement he intends to have with the Spurs during the off-season.
Wembanyama answered, “As much as my role as a leader and as a player for the future is important.”
Wembanyama said, “I’ll stick by my side, but I’m sure they’re going to question me about the French prospects we have coming up right now regarding the draft.” “This is before everyone completes their tasks, but I’m prepared to participate, work with others, and offer assistance where I can.”
As he enters his first full off-season with the team, the Silver and Black have informed their generational talent that they are interested in hearing his opinions.
The top pick in the previous summer’s draft stated, “It takes a lot of communication with the coaches and the front office to know where we’re comfortable with each other in the game and where we’re not comfortable, to know what kind of pieces we would need to add.”
There is a lot of debate because, in the end, the front office and the general manager are experts at what they do. Wembanyama stated, “They can accomplish nearly anything with what we have today; it just depends on how well they comprehend and consult with the players and coaches about our goals and building strategy.
The 20-year-old phenomenon says that based on what he hears and observes, he and the club agree on the initial assessment of roster needs.
“The positive aspect is this. There don’t seem to be any internal conflicts between us. It’s excellent. It’s the best course of action going forward.
Wemby has exceeded all expectations with his debut season, amassing a plethora of statistical markers. It makes sense that the Spurs are quick to involve Wembanyama in their plans, whilst other teams have not asked their marquee players for advice.
It’s the finest. Better couldn’t be asked for. Of course, my responsibility is to play on the court and make baskets, but it is optimal for both of our growth that we collaborate.
If San Antonio finishes outside of the top six in the draft, they will receive a high draft pick in addition to the Toronto Raptors selection (the Spurs have the third-worst record, 15–54). Toronto’s record is tied for sixth worst in the league with the Memphis Grizzlies, although the NBA Lottery will decide where that choice is made. The Grizz will visit San Antonio on Friday.
When asked if he is aware that a Memphis loss may benefit the Raptors, the Spurs’ top scorer said, “My job is to make baskets so I want to win every game.” “I’m sure the front office of the Spurs considers it.”
