At a glance:

Offensive Rating: 109.3 (26th)

Defensive Rating: 115.6 (21st) 

Net Rating: -6.4 (25th)

2024 Draft Picks: 4, 8, 35,48

After lucking out in the draft lottery and selecting Victor Wembanyama with the first pick in the draft, the Spurs vaulted from a bottom feeder to one of the most exciting teams in the league. Despite their poor record, they were must-watch TV every single night as Wemby put up incredible stat lines and made the game look too easy at times. They now hold two top-ten picks in the 2024 draft after the lottery went their way once again.

Though they can certainly take a patient approach, there will be plenty of rumors suggesting that they need to make win-now moves immediately to keep Wemby happy. Regardless of what path they take, their future will be among the brightest in the league as Wemby grows into a superstar.
