Could Victor Wembanyama Be the Secret Weapon to Topple the Thunder Dynasty?
The Spurs (18-7) now sit in fourth place, just 0.5 games behind the second-seeded Denver Nuggets. According to Tankathon, San Antonio possesses the third-toughest remaining schedule, especially with two more meetings with Oklahoma City this month and dates with Cleveland and New York. But there’s an infectious confidence in this group from top to bottom, a youthful ignorance, if you will, that gives them an edge. Wembanyama will surely have increased confidence in his teammates having been able to witness their production from the best seat in the house. Fox, Vassell and Castle have shown they can keep an offense afloat, with the Spurs registering an impressive 117.3 points per 100 possessions when those three share the floor, per NBA.com tracking data — as well as a 105.7 pace rating that would rank tops in the league.
