Spurs Fiesta 5: Victor Wembanyama vs. Bol Bol?

In this story:

San Antonio Spurs

1. WEMBY VS. BOL BOL "Bol Bol has better physical talent and ready to play in the NBA right now than Victor is," Hardaway said.

2. WEMBY REGRET? "In talking to execs about Henderson/Brandon Miller—two players whose careers will be forever intertwined—a couple of team officials wondered whether San Antonio would regret passing on Henderson down the line," Mannix wrote.

3. DPOY JEREMY SOCHAN "If there's any downside to teaming up with Wembanyama, it's that a ranking like this will never put you on the top rung," Bleacher Report wrote in its "Top-3 Most Promising Prospects" ranking. "Sochan could easily hold down that spot for a number of other teams, though, as a 6'9" playmaker with Defensive Player of the Year potential."

4. FOURNIER TO SPURS? "For San Antonio, this deal would give Wembanyama a French teammate who can help him transition to life in the NBA," Bleacher Report wrote. "Fournier should still be able to play, too."

5. VICTOR 'ANIMAL' WEMBANYAMA “Every ball screen they kept switching with big man so I’m like … couldn’t really explain what this is,” Miller said during his appearance on Podcast P with Paul George. “[I] think it’s big to big switch. Victor is, of course, not a big. [He’s] like an animal. Ain’t no position for him.”
