He even specifies that “no one in the squad is untouchable except Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell”.

Moreover, unlike Keldon Johnson, he has just made his best season of his career, while his teammate on the wing was less sharp after the arrival of “Wemby”.
In any case, things could change this summer in Texas. The GM of the Spurs had also announced it in May. “Every year, we want to be aggressive, but we have to do it well, strategically”explained Brian Wright. “I think we will be.” We will be aggressive. »
