'No Fears Detected' After Spurs Winning 'Golden Ticket' Victor Wembanyama
The San Antonio Spurs have one of the brightest outlooks in the NBA despite winning only 22 games this past season.
That's because San Antonio's futility helped land the team the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA Draft, which is expected to be French big man Victor Wembanyama.
Wembanyama is one of the league's brightest prospects in history, squashing everybody's fears about their future. Bleacher Report identified a fear for every NBA team moving forward, but couldn't find one for the Spurs.
"This is San Antonio's golden ticket back to the top, much the same way previous No. 1 picks David Robinson and Tim Duncan turned out to be," Bleacher Report writes. "As soon as the Spurs' pick of Wembanyama is announced, this franchise could be celebrating for years—if not decades—to come."
Wembanyama is already in the company of Robinson and Duncan and has incredibly sky-high expectations, but he won't be able to fix all of San Antonio's problems right away.
The fear the Spurs should have is if Wembanyama gets injured. For someone his size and the wear and tear the NBA can provide, injuries plaguing the future No. 1 pick could is a valid reason why San Antonio should be fearful.
That being said, if Wembanyama can stay healthy, San Antonio should be able to figure it out and build a team around him that can hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy someday.
