Victor Wembanyama has already forced the Spurs to change long-held stance

Given his size, length, and skillset, San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama is widely seen as a potential game changer. That has been on full display with him having already changed how the Spurs play.

During most of the Gregg Popovich era, the Spurs lagged far behind the rest of the NBA in 3-point attempts. That was primarily due to Popovich not believing in jacking up 3-pointers, instead preaching quality over quantity.

He had a point with the NBA clearly going overboard with the strategy. On the other hand, taking far fewer threes puts a team at a clear competitive disadvantage, especially with several teams attempting at least 40 threes per game in recent seasons.
