The San Antonio Spurs altered the direction of their franchise when they selected Victor Wembanyama with the first overall pick in 2023.

The San Antonio Spurs lost to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, and Victor Wembanyama thinks the coaches and referees could have done a better job.

San Antonio’s greatest successes have come when it had a floor general complementing an all-time great big man.
