Spurs' Devin Vassell 'Excited' for Victor Wembanyama
There's a lot of anticipation coming into the San Antonio Spurs season, with a lot of it attached to No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama.
Wembanyama's teammate, Devin Vassell, is also echoing those sentiments.
"It's a lot of noise, a lot of people talking, but at the end of the day, our season happened, and it is what it is," Vassell said via MySanAntonio. "But Wemby's here, and he's going to be a great addition for us. We're excited."
Vassell and Wembanyama represent the two players with arguably the highest ceilings on the Spurs roster going into the season. The two of them were the only Spurs listed on CBS Sports' top 100 player ranking.

Since joining the Spurs in 2020, Vassell has proven himself to be a worthy scorer. He's improved every season since his rookie year, notching 18.5 points per game in only 38 appearances last season.
The shooting guard has dealt with injuries throughout his young career, which certainly brings about some concerns regarding his reliability, but with his mind set on staying healthy, his potential truly is sky-high if he can consistently see game action.
When the Spurs' vision is fully cooked, Vassell will line up as a strong secondary or tertiary playmaker to Wembanyama's primary.
Meanwhile, Wembanyama has potential to be the most unique star in the modern-NBA. The only drawback is the risk that comes with his slender frame, which could cause serious issues if he isn't careful. However, if he can stay healthy, the Spurs will always have reason to remain excited.
