After failing at placing Stephon Castle and De'Aaron Fox in their top-100 rankings, projecting where players will stack up this season, they finally got one right. Victor Wembanyama crash-landed at number five on the list this year, behind the likes of Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Now, we're talking.
The San Antonio Spurs are counting on this, and that's why they've adjusted their timeline around their franchise star. In the beginning, everyone preached patience, emphasizing the need to let Wembanyama's growth happen organically. Well, he hit the ground running and has only sped up his progress.
