San Antonio Spurs focus on Wembanyama's growth and roster depth

As the San Antonio Spurs prepare for their upcoming season, discussions regarding the team's roster and the development of Victor Wembanyama have taken center stage. Following a run to the NBA Finals, the Spurs have bolstered their depth with additions such as Tobias Harris.

Former All-Star Tracy McGrady has proposed a potential starting lineup designed to maximize ball handling and versatility around Wembanyama. McGrady’s suggested five includes De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, Tobias Harris, and Wembanyama. He emphasized the importance of having two strong creators at the backcourt to complement Wembanyama’s presence.

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson noted during Media Day that Wembanyama has significant room to grow, specifically in his ability to manipulate the game and facilitate for teammates. Wembanyama himself reported that his physical baseline has increased following a condensed offseason, despite the physical demands of a long postseason.
