San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs have been officially eliminated from the NBA Playoffs with a 13-50 record in the West. Despite this, they still have their first round pick in the upcoming draft to build around Victor Wembanyama. Wembanyama leads the team in points, rebounds, steals, and blocks, and is likely to win Rookie of the Year. Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson are also key scorers for the team. The Spurs are ranked 27th in offensive efficiency and 23rd in defensive efficiency, playing at the 3rd fastest tempo in the league. They are questionably missing Wembanyama due to an ankle injury. Offensively, the Spurs rank 22nd in scoring and struggle with three-point shooting, but excel in free throws. Defensively, they struggle in field goal and three-point defense. Despite their tough season, the Spurs continue to compete and develop their young talent. YESSIR JEREMY ‼️ https://t.co/D9W4psA2lF pic.twitter.com/hx2Y3XpLfI
