This is a big moment for the franchise, which has been looking for a new star since Kawhi Leonard left in 2018 and the failed stint of DeMar DeRozan on the team. The Spurs couldn’t develop a good core in the past couple of years and it seems like Wemby can be the beginning of something great for them.
The Spurs are set to create a new dynasty that could include a new head coach like Steve Kerr and another star point guard in Damian Lillard. Things are about to get very interesting for this squad, and it all starts with the Frenchman.
Victor Wembanyama Is Excited With The Prospect Of Joining Spurs
Wembanyama, just like his new fans, was also excited to hear the news about the Spurs. The player didn’t travel to the US for the lottery, but he was paying close attention from his native France.
After the results were revealed, the player couldn’t hide his excitement, confirming that he wants to be a Spur and will give everything to the team. The player already set a goal for himself, saying he wants to win a ring very quickly.
Wembanyama is expected to mark an era in the NBA, and the Spurs will have the privilege to be his first team in the association. Hopefully, he can stay with the team for his entire career, and bring the Spurs back to the top of the league.
