The Phoenix Suns take on the San Antonio Spurs tonight for the second time in three days. This is an opponent on the rise in the Western Conference and one the Suns will have to deal with for the decade that lies ahead.
They have a top-end, all-time great prospect in Victor Wembanyama, who has exceeded many expectations in his rookie campaign. They also have young talents the likes of Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, Tre Jones, and Jeremy Sochan who project to be fairly solid contributors going forward, as well as a stash of draft capital and cap space that poises them for a leap either internally, externally (by way of some of their capital), or as a hybrid mix of both in improving the context around Wembanyama.
