Tracy McGrady predicts Wembanyama will sweep the awards next season and lead the Spurs to a Championship:
“So if I look at the NBA right now.. I would put my money on the San Antonio Spurs presently constructed.
Because of the disappointment I think that happened to them this year, because of Wemby’s performance in the Finals, I’m sure he’s not happy with the way he played, so that’s going to motivate him in the offseason to even kick it up another notch.
I’m sure he’s going to come back bigger and stronger. I’m sure he’s hearing where he needs to operate for him to be the most effective for his team. So all this stuff is coming into play to build this creative player that’s going to come back stronger.
He’s going to win Defensive Player of the Year. He’s gonna win MVP. He’s gonna win the in-season Tournament MVP. He’s going to sweep.
So for me, I think because he’s going to be motivated and they had a big let down and disappointment this year, I’m going San Antonio Spurs to be right back in that position and to win a championship."

ESPN has Dylan Harper listed as the #1 most interesting sophomore player to watch next season:
“With Fox struggling at times in the postseason, Harper emerged as the most popular man in San Antonio. His purposeful drives to the rim and smooth finishes make him a nightmare cover for opposing defenses, and it's easy to picture him as the Tony Parker to Victor Wembanyama's Tim Duncan for the next decade.
For now, Fox and Castle are both returning, which likely sends Harper back to the super-sub role he filled last season. Should he aim for Sixth Man of the Year? Should San Antonio experiment with three or four guards in its starting lineup? Will Fox trade rumors pick up?
How, exactly, the Spurs manage their embarrassment of riches will be one of the leading storylines of the 2026-27 season. San Antonio blew away all reasonable expectations last season, but now its only goal is a championship.”

I don't care what anybody says, No. 42 pick Ja'Kobi Gillespie put on an absolute clinic tonight.
25 PTS, 5 AST, and 3 triples while he completely out-dueled No. 2 overall pick Darryn Peterson, holding him to a rough 25% FG (15 PTS).
The Spurs found a serious second-round gem.
Kevin Hart asks Victor Wembanyama to describe how big of a Star Wars fan he is:
“Like watching the movies multiple times. And watching the shows, reading the books, playing the video games..
I have an Obi-Wan signed lightsaber, signed by the actor, it’s the most precious thing I have.”

Maliq Brown was the most impactful player on the court tonight in a game that included two rookie lottery picks and another 1st rounder from 2025.
You're never going to understand his impact purely through the box score but he plays WINNING basketball
The absolute definition of a 'glue guy.'
Maliq Brown only took ONE shot last night but stuffed the stat sheet with 9 REB (7 OREB), 5 AST, 4 STL, and 2 BLK in the Summer Spurs' 10-point win over the Bucks.
He impacted the game in very positive ways and looks like a steal for the Spurs at the number 44 draft spot.
Spurs chairman Peter J. Holt, CEO RC Buford, GM Brian Wright and coach Mitch Johnson traveled to Paris to meet and spend time with Victor Wembanyama and his family and reps Friday. Wembanyama was essentially a lock to earn a $303M supermax if he played 65 games next season -- but he opted for a significant sacrifice at a flash point for the Spurs' rise.
In the Spurs championship past, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker had a history of taking less for the betterment of team-building.
Carter Bryant was asked whether it feels good knowing Victor Wembanyama is sticking around:
“Oh yeah.. having Vic around, I mean, is the best thing in the world.”

Robert Horry and Darren Collison speak on Victor Wembanyama’s extension:
DC: “This is why I say Spurs has always been a great organization, because they got guys like Tim Duncan that can come back and talk to Victor Wembanyama about situations like this, right? And now he’s just creating the same blueprint that Tim Duncan did.”
RH: “As a teammate, and I’m seeing this guy do this, now that’s telling me he cares about me and me getting my payday. And that’s a very big important thing because now that circulates around the league. And now guys appreciate guys who ain’t just money hungry.. when guys do that you get guys to come play with you cause they feel like you care about them and your well being.”

Tarris Reed Jr was asked whether Stephon Castle reached out to him after he was drafted:
“Definitely, for sure. That UConn connect.. that Husky brotherly line right there.
Definitely having another guy, another Husky to play alongside with and really just talk to about his experience with UConn and reflect on the past and the journey we have.”
