The San Antonio Spurs are going to be a force to reckon with for years because of their incredible luck.
The Spurs were awarded the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft which meant they could take generational big man prospect Victor Wembanyama.
Wembanyama was on teams’ radars for years while he was in France because of his otherworldly ability on both ends of the floor.
There’s never been a prospect quite like Wembanyama because he possesses ideal size, length, and skill but also has a competitive mindset and attitude.
Although San Antonio has been one of the worst teams during the 2023-24 NBA season, Wembanyama has been turning heads as he has some sort of highlight every night that amazes fans and players alike.
Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker had high praise for Wembanyama and revealed his favorite trait about him via Paul Garcia of Project Spurs.
“Just a force. I think my favorite part about him is his mindset,” Booker said.

Off the floor, Wembaynama is equally impressive as he’s well-spoken and insightful, two characteristics that aren’t often found in young players.
The Spurs star carries himself like he’s been in the NBA for years and it’s easy to tell that he cares about winning at all costs.
San Antonio has a rich history of grooming and developing big men, and Wembanyama is the latest player who could transform the franchise and lead them back to championship contention.
Booker and the rest of the league should be scared of what Wembanyama could potentially become down the line.
