    Great video! Side note. You forgot to mention David Robinson and Sean Elliott!! They helped set the foundation of the dynasty, too. Won NBA titles for the Spurs in the late '90s and early '00s. Their first NBA title for the Spurs ever! Along with younger Manu, Duncan, and Parker.

    Robinson was the first piece. In fact, it was the injury to Robinson and their first decision to tank while Robinson was injured, that got them Duncan. Robinson is one of the best NBA centers of all time- forgetting him is completely ridiculous. Remember the year where he had 73 points in his final game of the season to eclipse Shaq for the scoring title? The very beginning of the Spurs dynasty was Duncan and Robinson . Especially right after they drafted Duncan- Duncan hung out with Robinson all summer, while Robinson taught him stuff about the NBA, and they learned martial arts together! It was cool. Also, how do you do a piece on the spurs, And somehow, Kawhi Leonard’s name is also not mentioned at all?

    You were correct in pointing out Robinson, Elliot and Johnson's contribution. What you didn't mention is the 10 years that Pop wasted from Robinson's HoF career. They tanked to get Timmy, and that set the blueprint of success. That blueprint also meant drafting Europeans as key supporting casts. Pop just hates how the AAU is not developing players properly. European players are fundamentally sound and are natural team players, unlike US born tiktokkers. If they somehow lucked into getting the #1 pick again, it might not even be a surprise if they traded up with their Raptor's pick to also get both Sarr and Risacher, from the French league. Decent PGs are a dime a dozen, but getting solid wings like Risacher to pair with Wemby and Sarr would make the Spurs overmatched at every key position. With the new big 3 on rookie contracts, it won't be hard to sign great value players like Malcom Brogdon who would be excellent in controlling the pace that Pop likes to play with. Wemby has shown that he can be bullied physically, so replacing Collins with another big heavy center would spare Wemby from taking tough hits. So it all depends on the draft sequence this coming summer. Who knows, the Raptors might play punk and drop into the bottom 6 and take back their pick. Whatever happens, the Spurs definitely have the assets and caps space to complete their rebuild within the next two years.

Victor and Spurs needs shooter and perimeter defense around him.

    Wouldn’t be surprised that most of the team stays on. If you look at the last games that have been improving. Some players will be let go but don’t be surprised that they only get 1 additional player from the pick and a trade. Sochan is a player that should stay in imo. He’s got one of the great defensive players in his future if he works harder at it and he shows commitment example his change of fouls shooting that although unorthodox it’s making him hit over 70%. Vassell should stay but other team will want him if he’s traded he could be a nightmare for future games against San Antonio. Was bummed that they let go Doug McDermott a killer 3 point shooter right off the bench but at 32 considered old.

    Spurs have interior defense with Wemby and perimeter defense with Sochan; now they need to surround Wemby and Sochan with shooting; so ill go with both Risacher (a 6'9 wing and is hitting 40+% from 3 plus a capable defender) and with Sheppard with Toronto's pick (a point/combo guard that is hitting over 45% from 3 and also a capable defender). with their 33rd pick go with the best available wing (maybe Dadiet or Evans) and with their 44th pick go with a defensive minded center (spurs struggling defensively when wemby sits) or trade the pick for more future assets.

Every team has their own championship formula but all has to be in good chemistry and a fellow french with close age will have a good impact. The NBA considers this a weak draft class so I bet a trade for the 3rd Frenchman will cost them less. Also, if they have a game in France, it will be a home court advantage. Not to mention the sales the spurs get there.

    After Zaccharie Risacher (who will probably be taken before Spurs pick), the best fit for their two picks could be Nikola Topic (1st pick) and Reed Sheppard (assuming 2nd pick via Toronto). Sheppard is small but a solid defender and lights-out from 3pt and would be a great option against smaller opponents (like Trae or Steph). And he's likely to fall far enough in the draft that he's available. Spurs are going to need 3pt shooters to keep interior space open for the likes of Wemby and Topic (a downhill paint scorer), but who aren't a liability on D -- after Risacher, Reed Sheppard is the next best option, plus he's got the kind of 'character' Pop likes. Thoughts?
