Twice during a game against Phoenix on Nov. 2, Spurs guard Tre Jones had the ball beyond the three-point line, and center Victor Wembanyama was in the paint.
Jones knew all he had to do in those moments was throw the ball high enough near the rim, and Wembanyama, the 7-foot-4 prodigy who was the No. 1 pick in the draft, would be the only one who could get it.
"It's a bit of a cheat code to be able to put the ball in places you know only one guy can get it," Jones said in a phone interview Wednesday.
