ESPN recently released their first mock draft after the NBA Lottery, and with the No. 8 pick they had the San Antonio Spurs continue to add talent. After hitting the jackpot with Victor Wembanyama in the 2023 NBA Draft, the Spurs are looking to build around him.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert won his fourth Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award this season, and not everyone is on board with it. NBA legend Kevin Garnett prefers San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama, who would’ve been the first rookie to ever win the award.
The rookie split his time between Paris and San Antonio over the past week. Last weekend, Victor Wembanyama was back home in France visiting family and engaging in various activities.

Russell can become an unrestricted free agent this summer by declining his 2024-25 player option with the Los Angeles Lakers. “The most recent intel suggests the San Antonio Spurs aren’t interested,” Pincus wrote.

With a new media rights deal on the horizon, NBA salaries are going to start to enter the territory of the surreal.
