wow Devin Vassell shot selection is terrible
Imagine getting the best of both Danny and Bellineli's skillset
Off topic, not gonna lie, but I think those Vancouver Grizzlies jersey look real nice.
Vassell missing point blank ???????????????????????????
wow
Still leaving shooters open
--------------------------------------------------
hoping more improvement in his defense good Sir??
Keldon sucks for long stretches but then makes one shot and his green light comes right back lol
The sooner Vassell is traded the better tbh.
Keldon brings something of value
Bassey used to shoot 3s (and make them) in the G-League. Clearly has a red light... wouldn't mind to seem him unleash one of these since the Grizz are just leaving it completely wide open.
i was looking for some available free agents now,
Keldon is on a good trend
The kid has such a great spirit, if only he could be reliable...
Was this about that contested fadeaway? Yeah I thought the same. Dude still thinks he's Kobe.
This is CHATGPT generated, hehehehehe

How the San Antonio Spurs Can Build Around Victor Wembanyama for Success
Victor Wembanyama is not just a player; he’s a generational talent, the kind of prospect who can redefine a franchise. At 7'4" with guard-like skills and defensive instincts that make him a nightmare for opponents, Wembanyama has all the tools to dominate the NBA. But even transcendent talents need the right support to thrive. For the San Antonio Spurs, the challenge isn’t just about maximizing Wembanyama’s potential—it’s about building a team around him that can compete for championships.
Here’s how the Spurs can improve and surround Wembanyama with the talent he needs to succeed:
1. Develop a Strong Pick-and-Roll Partner
Wembanyama’s versatility allows him to thrive in a variety of offensive sets, but a dynamic pick-and-roll partner can elevate his game further. The Spurs should target a skilled, high-IQ point guard who can:
- Read defenses effectively.
- Deliver precise passes in the paint or to the perimeter.
- Take pressure off Wembanyama by being a scoring threat.
The Spurs could either develop a young guard like Tre Jones or explore the market for a veteran playmaker who complements Wembanyama’s skill set.
2. Prioritize Floor Spacing
Wembanyama’s offensive repertoire shines when he has room to operate. To create that space, the Spurs need sharpshooters who can knock down threes consistently. Players who can stretch the floor force defenses to stay honest, opening lanes for Wembanyama to attack and reducing double-teams in the post.
Potential moves:
- Develop current talent like Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson into reliable three-point threats.
- Target 3-and-D specialists in free agency or via trade to bolster the team’s perimeter shooting.
3. Bolster the Defensive Frontline
While Wembanyama’s defensive instincts are elite, he’ll need help to anchor a top-tier defense. Surrounding him with versatile, defensive-minded forwards and centers ensures he isn’t overburdened.
Key areas to address:
- A strong rebounding presence to complement Wembanyama’s shot-blocking.
- Switchable defenders who can guard multiple positions, allowing Wembanyama to roam as a help defender.
The Spurs might look to draft or acquire a gritty, rim-protecting big who can ease the physical toll on Wembanyama.
4. Foster a Winning Culture
The Spurs’ championship pedigree under Gregg Popovich is a huge asset. However, the current roster is young and untested in playoff environments. Building a winning culture means:
- Retaining veteran leaders who can guide younger players through the ups and downs of an NBA season.
- Instilling habits of discipline, unselfish play, and defensive commitment.
Players like Jeremy Sochan and Malaki Branham should be mentored to embrace their roles within a structured system that emphasizes team success over individual stats.
5. Play the Long Game in Free Agency
The Spurs are not in win-now mode but have the cap space and flexibility to plan strategically. Instead of rushing to sign marquee free agents, they should:
- Focus on players entering their prime who align with Wembanyama’s timeline.
- Avoid contracts that could clog future cap space and restrict their ability to add pieces down the line.
A measured approach ensures they’re ready to contend when Wembanyama hits his peak.
6. Leverage the Draft
The Spurs have historically excelled in the draft, and continuing that trend will be critical. Wembanyama is the cornerstone, but identifying complementary players through the draft can:
- Keep the roster young and flexible.
- Add cheap, high-upside talent to grow alongside him.
Scouting for high-motor players, defensive specialists, and shooters should remain a priority in the coming drafts.
7. Manage Wembanyama’s Workload
At 7'4", durability is a concern. The Spurs must manage Wembanyama’s minutes carefully to avoid overuse and injury. This includes:
- Investing in cutting-edge sports science and load management practices.
- Ensuring he has a strong supporting cast so the team doesn’t rely on him to carry the load every night.
8. Build Around His Strengths
Wembanyama’s game is unique, and the Spurs must tailor their system to maximize his strengths:
- Use him as a focal point in both offense and defense.
- Incorporate motion offense and spacing to capitalize on his passing and shooting abilities.
- Allow him freedom to experiment and grow as a leader on the court.
Conclusion
Victor Wembanyama is a rare talent, but even the brightest stars need a constellation around them. For the San Antonio Spurs, the blueprint for success lies in thoughtful roster construction, strategic player development, and a culture that prioritizes both patience and excellence. If they execute these steps, Wembanyama could not only lead the Spurs back to relevance but also to their next era of championship glory.
Becky should come in and take the reigns tbh
CP3

Edey challenging Wemby, lol
sloppy refs,
late calls
We’re about to see that clip of CP3 yelling at Wemby to get the jump ball because he’s not gonna jump with Edey forever
Champagnie reminds me of Chuck Person he hit 8 3s for us and scored 24 points for the game.
Yeah, Wemby is clearly taller than Edey.
7'4, maybe even 7'5.
haha that was great. Wemby maybe you should take the jump against Edey not CP3
Vassell is like a college player who is trying to impress his future mother in law
