Spurs Fiesta 5: Trades Coming for Victor Wembanyama Help?

Inside The Spurs identifies five of the biggest NBA storylines in addition to relevant San Antonio Spurs news and analysis.

1. PG FOR WEMBY?

"San Antonio has drafted some of the most outstanding big men in history at No. 1, but finding All-Stars outside of the lottery is where the franchise truly shines, so could this draft include Wembanyama's version of Parker?"

2. WEMBY VS. BROUSSARD

"Victor Wembanyama “comps” are fair; comparisons are a valuable scouting tool, even in the case of the super-hyped Frenchman destined to be the San Antonio Spurs’ choice as the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, there are some “incomparable” things about him."

3. WEMBY SHINES IN FRENCH PLAYOFFS

"While most top overall picks coming out of college in previous years would be long done with their seasons, Wembanyama and his teammates on Metropolitans 92 are just beginning playoff basketball. He posted 22 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in Sunday's playoff-opening win over Cholet."

4. NUGGETS vs. LAKERS GAME 4

Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets aim to advance to the first NBA Finals in franchise history, but LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to avoid the sweep in tonight's Game 4.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CST.

5. DRAFT COUNTDOWN

The San Antonio Spurs are 31 days away from the 2023 NBA Draft, where Victor Wembanyama will officially become the newest member of the franchise with the No. 1 overall pick.

Coverage begins on Thursday, June 22 at 7 p.m. CST on ESPN.
