Yeah I am probably hopelessly hoping for a vet enforcer. I'd even take PJ Tucker. Would like some bench 4 man toughness behind wild ass Sochan.The Spurs got Cam Payne, cash, and a 2nd for a 2nd. So based on this early report, they got a vet PG and cash for nothing.
I’m not a Payne fan nowadays but I’d fine bringing him in to compete for the 3rd PG spot. This frees them up to give up Wesley if he doesn’t improve or trade Graham if he does.
Also reports that the Spurs are planning to build a new downtown arena.
Wembanyama is the first rookie to start the season rated in the 80s since Zion Williamson. He’s six overall points higher than LeBron James (78) was in his rookie season. Other notable rookies that have been given 80+ overalls are:
- John Wall (81)
- Kyrie Irving (81)
- Greg Ogden (80)
- Derrick Rose (80)
- Markelle Fultz (80)
For reference of where Wemby falls in the pantheon of NBA players, here are a few guys who had 84 overall ratings in 2K23:
- Andrew Wiggins
- Fred VanVleet
- Scottie Barnes
- Cade Cunningham
- Tyrese Haliburton
- Jamal Murray
- Christian Wood
- RJ Barrett
- De’Aaron Fox
- Tyler Herro
- Clint Capela
- Evan Mobley
Most of these players’ overall ratings improved by the end of the year. The developers update the rosters weekly to account for who is playing well, and who isn’t. Wembanyama could end up in the 90s by season’s end with strong play.
