The arrival of Victor Wembanyama will not only provide the Spurs with a huge talent surge but it will also give them direction. If the No. 1 overall pick of the 2023 draft is as good as everyone expects him to be, Gregg Popovich and Brian Wright will build around him with pieces that fit him.
The first step in that process is to find a starting lineup that suits him. It’s no secret that Wembanyama will play power forward, which means someone from last year’s unit other than Zach Collins will be pushed out. The obvious answer would be the guy who manned that position last season but Jeremy Sochan’s uniqueness complicates things, in a good way.
