9 games into the season and the Spurs are sitting at 3-6 with one of the worst point differentials in the league. I think it's very likely that the Spurs get another high lottery pick in next year's draft as it's becoming increasingly clear that this is another development year to experiment. With that said, what are our biggest needs moving forward, and what does this team ideally look like in 3-4 years?
I think most people would agree that we need a primary initiator / offensive engine moving forward and with multiple guards available at the top of the lottery in next year's draft, that's who the Spurs will target. It's still early, but guys like Topic, Collier, Castle, Proctor, Wagner among others will all most likely be available. What are your 2-3 priorities for this position if you had to choose? Do you value positional size, 3 point shooting, rim pressure, passing creativity, point of attack defense, low turnovers, etc. I personally prioritize positional size and rim pressure if I have to choose.
The second big question is what does Wemby's eventual front court partner look like? Do the Spurs continue to use a traditional center or does Wemby slide to the 5 in 3 years> I do think that despite his current struggles Sochan partners well with Wemby as a hopefully reasonable cost versatile defender/playmaker/cutter if he slides into the 4 position. However in order for this to work the Spurs need to end up with a long, rangy 3 and D wing with size who can help on the boards and defend at the point of attack, but who is limited with regards to self-creation so as not to break the bank, basically a Jaden McDaniels type. Maybe Risacher can fill that role in the draft, or a current under-the-radar wing.
If you squint hard enough, you can see the outline for a team with T-wolves style and level of defense and better offense. It will be interesting how the front office elects to proceed moving forward.
Biggest need is just an overall upgrade of the talent level.
Wemby is obviously truly untouchable.
Vassell is almost untouchable and secure, but for the right move could be expendable.
Every other player is someone who the Spurs should be looking to upgrade as time rolls on. My guess is that by Wemby’s first extension, this roster will look very very different.
Yep best available talent
Better coach
BPA
Really talented PG and talented athletic center.
Overall need better passing. We don't have many players who are willing passes. Our second unit has Jonese, everyone else are not willing passes. Our starting 5 is pretty low on passing. Collins is above avg center passer. Wemby and Sochan not their yet. Vassell absolutely not. Johnson has moments of good passing games.
Best player but if close you take the best PG/SF/C if all things equal
A good pg who can pass and shoot
Spoelstra
High IQ players and a coach that's a better fit tbh.
It's just all over the place. Pop needs to rise to the occasion. They say you're the best coach of all time? ING PROVE IT.
Another wing. Wemby would improve at some point that he would generate his own looks, i am pretty sure of this.
We need an older, more seasoned coach and younger, more raw players!
All-star level PG.
Shooting in every position.
We already have the best C moving forward. Stop it with the "Wemby isn't a C" narrative. Even if Wemby doesn't play C on defense, he will be the C on offense, once Pop stops ing around.
At this point, hopefully it's Alexandre Sarr in this upcoming draft.
gotta be topic...pick and roll guard with wemby is what we need....Or a top defensive center
Point God CP3 to form lob city v2.0 with Wemby
Getting rid of KJ as a starter… or just in general
bpa
Halliburton at pg and Jaden mcdaniels at sf
Ownership to grow balls and demand competence from coaching staff.
Ownership is rolling in the $$$$ after Pop tanked and got us Wemby so short term they love the man
