Take in mind that both Wemby and Hakeem play their rookie season by teams that finished their previous season in the bottom of NBA ranking (overall and division, but Houston had way worse roster than spurs) and both Houston and Spurs did not changed their roster so much to their next season. While Spurs jump from 22-60 and 15º on west, to 22-60 and 14º (Wemby rookie season), Houston jump from 29-53 and 12º (last at that time) to 48-34 and 3º (Hakeem rookie season), this may spend more time than people suposed.
Big fan of the spurs. Huge. But best case if everything goes right they’re 40-42
at or around .500 is the best case scenario, and if it happens they can probably attract good free agents the year after to actually contend.
