The San Antonio Spurs were in a state of limbo for much longer than fans are used to after Kawhi Leonard's departure. They weren't quite bad enough to get a number-one pick, but they also weren't good enough to make the playoffs. That all changed when they won the ultimate NBA Lottery, and Victor Wembanyama appears to be perfectly ready to take the torch from Tim Duncan this season. He's not only impressive on the court, but all indications point to him being a humble, laid-back individual who only cares about winning and supporting his teammates. He's exactly what the once-dynastic franchise needed to get back to relevance, and something tells me he's going to send shockwaves through the league for the next two decades.
