It’s only May, which means if you haven’t yet been exposed to much hyperbole projected onto presumptive future Spur and prize of the 2023 draft Victor Wembanyama, give it time.
The same gesture won’t be reciprocated for the Spurs or Wembanyama. The teenager will arrive in San Antonio under an unprecedented lens, flanked by elevated expectations for a team that won 22 games last season. Whether or not (and in what way) the front office should fast-track its team-building in order to maximize its 7-foot-something window is a fair and divisive topic as the rebuild moves from Year Zero to Year One.
