We should all become used to the idea that we aren’t getting this guy now… save yourself the heartbreak down the road.
Bring on those 23 wins

Kind of reminds me of pre-injury Sabonis with more shooting range but without the elite passing.Unprecedented. Such gracefulness & agility for someone that size. I see no awkwardness at all. Extremely skilled in ALL facets of the game.
I'm not going to spend the season just thinking of this prospect. Just enjoy whatever growth from our youth. If we land this guy, going in the future with all this picks, could be 10 years of good seasons. Until then.....
But was young Sabonis this mobile and fluid? I know he was a force but this feels different.
Oh, definitely. I'm really looking forward to watching our young players grow, we don't have that one player to build around just yet, but I'm optimistic that we do have several big pieces moving forward. Interesting and important season ahead for us.
Also Wembanyama is the ultimate wish, but Scoot Henderson is also a phenomenal talent and there are several other very, very interesting prospects in the top 5/6 in the 2023 draft, so we should be in position for a significant talent upgrade no matter what.
Yeah but my memories of prime Sabonis were from when he was 24 in the 88 Olympics so Wembanyama looking like that at 18 is ridiculous. On a side note I can't imagine how much the Blazers would have dominated the NBA if say Sabonis came in 89 to join the team they had with Drexler, Terry Porter, Jerome Kersey, Buck Williams, Cliff Robinson, and Kevin Duckworth. I think Portland drafted Sabonis in the first round or early second in 86.

14% is good and the Spurs FO knows it. Totally justified to build the weakest roster in the league for this guy. He’s Duncan part 2. 15 years of relevance once you get him in San Antonio
Will lightning strike us again?? Odds are low but there is still a chance lol
My mind is made up that he is going to be a once in a generation type of player, it's only his health that might hold him back, but that is a risk worth taking without hesitation.
75% of this ing board doesn’t understand this.
this is exactly the way that ST should look at this coming season and draft.
Three recent mock drafts have your San Antonio Spurs with the first pick. Tea leaves are writing on the wall to get the best prospect in almost 20 years, and the 5th best in 35 - up there with James, Duncan, O'Neal, and Robinson.

Keldon, Devin, and Primo may very well eliminate any chance of this guy coming here. Do the crying now.
lol...while they played well i wouldnt put too much stock into preseason games against the two other worst teams in the west
meh it's only a 20% percent chance regardless so no reason to cry.
Spurs had a 21.6% to land Duncan in 1997 vs Boston at 35%. Legend has it that San Antonio’s number came up again on the 2nd draw for #2 pick.
This was back when Vancouver, the worst team, wasn’t eligible for a top 3 lottery draw. Part of their expansion condition for their first 3 years.
I wanted to post about this game too. He’s been amazing, it looks like his USA trip gave him even more confidence and he plays even better than before the G-League games.
Poor kid will likely end up in San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Orlando, or Salt Lake City for at least the first 4 years of his career. Pretty much the polar opposite of being in the limelight.
I saw some highlights of wemby in this game.. the problem with him is sometimes he is forcing to shoot fadeaway three pointers.
Scoot is a better player with high basketvall iq.. but cant blame the team if they pick this guy.
He didn’t go to Paris in order to be in the limelight but to be close to his family for his last season in France. He also left ASVEL so he would have less games during the season in order to focus on his body reinforcement and be ready for the NBA. ASVEL plays Euroleague so that was too many games for him.
He’s not a kid attracted by fame or jet set , he’d fit perfectly in SA.
Imagine if he went to OK City and teamed with Chet Holmgren.
Don’t conflate better with slightly ahead on the development curve. Scoot is going to be good, and is pretty much a clear #2, but he really looks like a shorter DJ.
Scoot can't play D, so no
