He’ll probably end up like Tim Duncan times 2 with his talent.
🕸 🍌
Lebron james to spurs😂😂😂
The Spurs or Portland would have been the 2 places that I was going to be happy with him going too
Tomato 🍅 can antonio
I am glad it was the Spurs got him. You know they will develop him the right way. Unrealised potential dramatically decrease for this kid as soon as Spurs got that pick. With Pop and Duncan as coaches, they will teach him the right way. Spurs have a strong culture. Only spurs and Miami where the coaches and front office have the confidence of telling players to follow the coach or you are out. There will be no pampering and babysitting like Ben Simmons and Joel. No entitlement like Trae and Ja. No bad habits like Luka and Harden.
He won't be spoilt by the franchise or allowed to be influenced by outside distinctions.
They will build around him with the right mentors, coaches and players. He will have the voice of spur lifers and Frenchman like Tony Parker and Boris Diaw guiding him through the good and bad moments.
He's gonna gain some weight down in san antonio
Team that invented load management and ruined the game, gets rewarded…rigged.
Woooooow it's come full circle.
lol what if he landed on Charlotte Hornets?
They’ve been planning for him for the past 2 years. They built a team for him.
Imagine if the Spurs just straight up not pick Victor Wembanyama LOL
Spurs can also trade for Jordan Poole, start building around VW.
Imagine a world that gets a generation power forward…Timmy 2.0
👏👏👏 talent won't be wasted.
I'm not a fan of rewarding lousy teams, the Cavs come to mind, but he's going to the right place. He can develop in near anonymity and get coached by arguably the best coach in league.
Now I have a reason to watch my Spurs. Anyone else on the team is movable.
As a French dude, seeing the Spurs getting our national treasure that is Victor is such a BLESSING
Sure this just happened by chance 😂
We’re back baby!
I honestly believe the league blessed the spurs for being comeptetive and not tanking through out the season
THE GREATEST DRAFT PROSPECT? 😂😂😂😂 LEBRON? SHAQ? BIRD? MAGIC JOHNSON? These ESPN hype men are doing too much
The Spurs were literally the perfect team for him to end up on. All time great Coach with a culture that actually cares about defense, huge french fan base due to Tony Parker, plenty of picks/capital to build around him going forward
