Spurs still need to make moves to the roster. It's too early to project starting lineups.
Now that we got the sacred Graal, who do you think Pop will have as starters ?
We know he told Collins would be our center, and I actually don’t think Victor would like to be there, at least at the beginning while he’ll be facing massive 5s such as Embiid or Lopez and others.
If Sochan works on his shoot and improves it just like he improved his FT mechanic, I could see this :
PG : Jones (or any valuable PG from free agency)
SG : Vassell
SF : Sochan
PF : Wembanyama (still can’t believe I’m really writing that down and that it’s real… Not some ing speculation like the previous 10 months)
C : Collins

As much sense as it makes on paper, I still can't quite wrap my head around the idea of VW not being a center. Right now I would guess Jones/Vassell/Keldon/Sochan/VW. But the Spurs' plans for the offseason have probably changed drastically now that they got their man.
Apart from the PG spot, for which I stated that a more valuable player would be brought in, I wouldn’t change what we have.
Rascal wrong again.
Definitely don't see Wemby as a 5, so I think you're lineup is probably pretty close to what we see to start the season. Maybe Wemby at the 3 and Sochan at the 4.
Wemby/Sochan/Keldon could be a pretty nice 3 man rotation at the 3 and 4 tbh. Obviously one of them will need to come off the bench, wonder if Keldon would be willing to accept that.
I think we'll probably start big and then go small, meaning he'll start at PF and then when Collins sits moves up to C with Sochan playing the 4
Collins
Wemby
Then it gets a bit uncertain. I do think Keldon might be on the move. He's not a great fit, but...
Collins
Wemby
Johnson
Vassell
Jones
I actually think Sochan goes to the bench right now. But Johnson's a sticking point.
PG: Sochan
SG: Vassell
SF: Keldon
PF: Wemby
C: Collins
i dont think sochan starts. probably primarily a 3 man rotation between Wemby/Collins/Sochan with some Bassey/Barlow being sprinkled in
wemby can handle himself on the perimeter but i doubt they have him chasing 3's around
Jones
Vassell
Keldon
Sochan
Wemby
At least to start. Could see Jones and/or Johnson moved to the bench.
Going beyond the starting 5, here is the presumed depth chart:
PG: Tre*/Devonte/Blake
SG: Devin/Bran/Champagnie*
SF: Keldon/Doug/Langford(?)*
PF: Wemby/Sochan/Barlow*
C: Collins/Bassey/Mamu*/Birch
*Denotes FA
I'm going to assume we end up cutting Birch and not bring back Langford, resign the other FAs. This leaves one Roster Spot for Pick 33 or a FA. Surely more roster moves are incoming. We don't need to go all in on Win Now, but we should try to improve the team a little more for Wemby's ROY campaign.
I don't know how his career will start, but at the end of the day Wembenyama will always end up being a center. There's literally no scenario where I see him being a PF in the long run.
Wemby/Sochan, on paper, have all the makings of being a perfect fit for the frontcourt for the next 15 years.
PG: veteran PG (CP3?)
SG: Vassell
SF: Keldon (wouldn't be oppossed to move him for a better fit)
PF: Sochan
C: Wemby
There is no way Sochan isn’t in the starting lineup in my opinion
Wonder if the Spurs will go try to re-sign Poetl after all the talk about how they envisioned him playing next to Victor.
PG: Sochan
SG: Vassell
SF: Johnson
PF: Wemby
C: Collins
I think Vassell will get a lot of ballhandling this off-season to take the pressure off Sochan.
Sochan needs to be in the starting lineup, to take Wemby off the paint banging bodies defensively while he gets NBA strong.
I doubt they'll look to bring in an All-Star FA until Wemby gets ready. It's too early. But I wouldn't be against bringing in a veteran PG to help set plays. George Hill??
I think we will still collect some more draft assets. We have around 50 million in cap space. McDermott and Birch expiring and Graham is basically an expiring too since his salary after next season is only partially guaranteed. Brian Wright will be flipping assets like he been doing
That sochan/wemby frontcourt
It's not popular opinion, but I would like to see McDermott back. He is a very streaky player who could put in 20 pts a game, and should help the bench hold serve. Nah, not for SRP's. Graham can go.
I like for them to bring a George Hill, a veteran PG who knows the Spurs system, to help set plays.
It's gonna be easy pickins getting lobs to Wemby.
I also have a hard time seeing Sochan not in the S5.
Might be unrealistic long term but pop played Sochan at PG some this year
PG- Sochan
SG- Vassell
SF- Keldon
PF- Wemby
C- Collins
CP3 is exactly who is was thinking of. Keldon might have to go, or move to the bench.
A vet PG would make a lot of sense with Wemby. Bring an expereinced guy who will now how to put Vic in the best conditions and mentor the young guys in the locker room.
Godam, still can't beleive we got Wemby. yeah! Timvp just gotta make sure ST doesn't explode.
Now just waiting for LeSoft to lose tonight to make it a very special night
