One of the things that people keep forgetting is the Spurs are MUCH better than their record indicates. Remember, they started off strong and then they stopped winning. This was most definitely done on purpose.
Personally, i want to keep Keldon. Him, Sochan, and Vassell became good friends. They could build some chemistry along with Wemby. I wouldn't blame them for trading them tho.
Coach Pop wont be trading KJ and Vassel together with Sochan as they will be the core moving forward. Pop has a great relationship with Keldon as well. Not a lot of people know this but look at how Pop chose KJ to be a part of Team USA in the Olympics because he knowS KJ that well as a player and as a human being.
You forgot about the crafty, 6'9" power forward Alexander "Sandro" Mamukelashvili-a good 3-point and mid-range shooter, defender, slasher and passer. He is the Spurs' secret weapon and among the players I hope to see remain Spurs next season.
I cannot believe you haven't even mentioned Mamukelashvili, They call him Manu (Jokingly) very versatile and in under 20 games he showed a lot of perspective. One of the best passers on the team, They are keeping him for sure
He indeed is a very special player. Just in 20 games we've seen great stuff for a guy his height. He is not a classic PF he can dribble and carry the transitions and a great passer.
Wenbenyama beat the record of points and rebounds in the french league in the same game witheight straight (the european leagues last 40mn not 48 like in the NBA) which has to be taken into account. This guy is scary because of his size (yes size matters...😊) and even if he isn't a Shaq his height overcomes those who are 7ft or less even if they're more muscular. Wenbenyama musn't become one of those slow giants by becoming someone else. It's his speed and agility that makes him special for his height not counting his wingspan. If he can get the skyhook he'll be impossible to stop.
One thing I don't get is people mention Keldon as too old to fit this rebuild and has reached his ceiling, but then say Devin is "still developing" and a star in the making. It just seems odd when they're only a year apart?
I'm a spurs fan but Keldon basically has hit his ceiling. Keldon is a 3rd or good 4th option on a championship team at best. He wasn't that good this year because he had to be the main guy which he is not. He'll be much better going forward playing his actual role as a league leader in catch and shoot 3s and good cutter and at times driver. Devin I'd say has potential to be like a 6x all star. Especially not having to be a 1B option on offense going forward. His defense took a step back this season because he had to score more, he will get better. He can create his own shot, good catch and shooter and way better defender than Keldon. Not a knock on Keldon at all, his energy, leadership, hustle and mentality combined with being an actual good player make him a great asset but Devin has a much higher ceiling
@@265308 Devin Vassell isn't a liability on defense like Keldon or Malaki. Keldon can drive or catch and shoot, Devin can create his own shot. He's just frankly going to be better than Keldon unless career ending injuries As for Malaki, Malaki is going to be a steal but his defense is quite frankly trash. He could be better than Keldon but I wouldn't count on him being better than Devin
@@deathstarstallion Yes Devin is better than Da Mustang esp on defensive end, but still think fans over hyping him way too much. Malaki while nor as good on defensive end is better scorer N just has that pizzazz. My opinion is that Devin basically Dejounte Murray on sg. Yes hr can play D n create his own Shot n other Lil tangible things but he can demand too much $$$.. Also he not very smart he says Lotz stupid shit on social media. Ala DJ. He get better with Wemby N with experience, but he ain't no Demar DeRozan either.
Great video. Lots of people talk about Vassell and Keldon, but forget about Sochan and Malaki in their rookie seasons last year. They look really good and should make a leap in 2024.
Keldon Johnson is a beast of course the spurs didn't win many they were tanking . It wasn't keldon . Keldon has played out of position playing power forwards on Defense. Keldon needs work his midrange game .And he will be elite
As a spurs fan i feel very confident in saying that Devin Vassell, Victor Wembanyama and Zach Collins are gonna be the most consistent starters next year Pop is no doubt gonna experiment with Jeremy Sochan and Tre Jones on the bench and i think Keldon on the bench as well. There is definitely gonna be games where Pop runs with a Sochan-Vassell-Keldon-Wemby-Zach lineup. After the Poeltl trade, Collins was really impressive. Think he averaged 16-9-2 after the trade. Pop said a long time ago that Zach was so impressive that hes gonna be the starter this upcoming season. I like that move. Everyone has been making a deal of "how is wembanyama gonna bang bodies with Embiid and Jokic." First of all, they cook everyone. Not like it would be some huge knock on Wemby if he cant lockdown the 2 best centers in the game I dont feel like writing more analysis
If Embiid and Jokic are the only two that give him problems, it's not the worst thing, they are really good. I root for Wemby , the Spurs do have second round picks too, and I think they are going to hit on most of their picks , I'm looking forward to Thursday eating some Nachos and watching the NBA Draft.
@@scootover7 I'm really looking forward to Thursday as well. I imagine they're going to trade up and get another first rounder. Probably lottery. If not then they probably only keep one of the players thwy drafted in the second round As for wemby, people really expect him to come in and guard Jokic and Embiid just cause he's 7'4. He is probably going to spend most of his career playing the 4. Especially early on in his career
Tre Jones/Vassel/Sochan/Wemby/Zach Collins, that’s the likely starting 5. Keldon Johnson/Malaki Branham/Blake Wesley/Julian Champagnie/Mamukelashvili/Charles Bassey. McDermott and Graham may get moved in a trade for salary dump for draft picks. If Keldon Johnson 3 ball doesn’t improve to close to what it’s been, with the emergence of Julian Champagnie being able to score at all 3 levels while also being an above average defender, spells trouble for Keldon Johnsonbecause he’s not a good defender. Keldon, Graham and McDermott for #10 pick and a salary dump from Dallas should get it done. We’ll see, but I do know that Champagnie is very good on both ends and is only 21 while Keldon is 24
Doubt they’ll trade Keldon when they’ve got him for like 70m over 4 years which is a bargain. If they do they’ll save him for a big star trade in a few years
I personally can't wait for NBA 2k24 My League when I select the San Antonio Spurs to GM, I hope they also keep Keldon, Sochan and Vassell at least, I think they have a ton of cap if I remember right, So go get another point guard, and add some more depth.
I dont see Wemby playing the five. Yes Tre, Devin, and Keldon will start, but it will be Wemby as a 4 and Collins as the 5. The bench it will be Graham, Wesley, Branham, Sochan, and Bassey.
All these overreaction clips are boring. The Spurs need a couple of years to develop, no one is going to be afraid of them next year. I would be surprised if they can make it to the playin tournament. Do they have am intriguing young core and a very bright future? Yes, very much! But they are not scary yet
If you think the spurs will even try to trade for Jaylen Brown.. then you don’t know them that well at all. Ima Celtics fan but that’s the last team even if they have the assets which they do to want Jaylen Brown especially rn.
Bro... you're saying Wemby would have been chosen above Lebron in his draft... what are you smoking dude?? That is complete trash of a point of view. NO WAY is Wemby better than Lebron as a draft prospect. NO WAY.
@@backyardbuckets829 yes I do.Wemby is still too green and Sochan has to live up to the hype they produced around him. They still have the G.O.A.T coach though in my book but lets see if that is enough.
What!!lol no one is worried about the spurs right now.They won’t be very good for another few years at least.Rockets will be ahead of them.Wemby doesn’t make them better over night they don’t have enough talent around him yet.
You'll never be able to convince me the draft wasn't rigged just like the Knicks with Patrick Ewing and LBJ going to Cleveland. The NBA decided they wanted Wemby in SA so that's where he went.
Popavich, I will trade VW TO SIXERS EMBID , BRADELY BEAL WIZARDS, SIGN DEMARCUS COUSINS WHOM IS PLAYING HIGH LEVEL BASKETBALL IN PUERTO RICO. GO AFTER TIM HARDAWAY JR SG. POWER FOWARDS IS ON FREE AGENT MARKET. Duncan training embid wow. Championships will arrive seriously. Don't reply unless you know NBA.
ridiculous! hell no spurs want beal and embiid almost 30 yrs old spurs dont want to trade wemby 19 yrs old for 30 yrs old thats not reach even conference finals stupid 76ers fan embiid and beal will be never be a spur remember that 0% chance wemby will be traded for always injured embiid and almost 30 yrs old wemby is 11 yrs old younger why in the world want spurs to have 30 yrs old beal and embiid 😂😅 keep dreaming 😂 spurs have brighter future with wemby sochan and vassell than embiid and beal sorry better to sleep and keep dreaming
The Spurs already had stellar young support players. All they needed was a star. NOW all they need is experience, and time to reach their prime. Contenders 2026-2035. Three Chili’s, or more.
Yes every1 4gets were way way WAY better than our record indicates inc massacres on Timber Puppies. The fact is we won against Dallas when should lost on purpose N then lost the coin toss 2 Houston on purpose so when they rigged da lottery wouldn't look aa shady. That way all the teams kept losing on purpose year after year moved down aka Detroit N Houston R@h3@d$. Had SA not tanked we ade da playin .

He indeed is a very special player. Just in 20 games we've seen great stuff for a guy his height. He is not a classic PF he can dribble and carry the transitions and a great passer.
Yeah I agree, he’s a dynamic guy. I want to see him or Zach at the 5 with Wemby at the 4.

C - Collins
Sochan at point?
Were gonna be an awesome team as long as wemby don't get injured !!!😁👍

Devin has a higher ceiling due to his phenomenal length and athleticism

Vassell has 22 years, he is still a prospect. Kawhi was a prospect for 4 years and than explode. Same with Dejounte.
Devin vassell with have a big year 3 level scorer
Great video. Lots of people talk about Vassell and Keldon, but forget about Sochan and Malaki in their rookie seasons last year. They look really good and should make a leap in 2024.
You should make a San Antonio Spurs rebuild around Victor Wembanyama as the centerpiece for a future dynasty in San Antonio.
I think I will soon
Keldon Johnson is a beast of course the spurs didn't win many they were tanking . It wasn't keldon . Keldon has played out of position playing power forwards on Defense. Keldon needs work his midrange game .And he will be elite

I think all we really need is a pg but we got graham he’s gonna take that position from jones watch I know my team bro
Wemby needs to wear knee supports so he doesn't end tearing an ACL like that new Wizards player they traded for.
Keldon is going to the Sixth Man. Zach will be playing C so Wemby can play PR.
Subscribed! Hope u make more spursyyyy content 🔥🫶
Thanks my man!
Tre just needs to work on his 3’s 24/7 and he will be an elite point guard…but remember Tony never shot 3’s.
