NBA – The management of Wembanyama is still controversial at the Spurs: “It’s crazy to…
Back on the floor this Wednesday, Victor Wembanyama did not allow the Spurs to win. The crazy series of defeats continues, to the point of raising some questions among the supporters. The Frenchman’s management is also singled out.
With 15 losses in a row, it is clear that the Spurs are in tanking mode this season. Gregg Popovich made it known with his experimentation with Jeremy Sochan at point guard, while he tried a new lineup against the Wolves this Wednesday. Again without success. Tre Jones, the only real position 1 in the squad, continues to polish the bench during this time. Questionable management when we know that he gets along perfectly with Victor Wembanyama.
Spurs still criticized for their tanking
For the supporters, there is no doubt: the Spurs are doing everything to string together defeats and thus recover a big draft choice next May. A decision far from unanimous, especially since Wemby cannot fully express himself in such a configuration. Many fans have attacked Spurs over this.
The Spurs have now lost 15 straight games.
Trouble in San Antonio?

They never use Wemby in attack it’s crazy to watch
Keep Wemby in rhythm. No reason he doesn’t get 20+ shots a game

Keep Wemby in rhythm. No reason for him not to shoot 20 shots per game.
The problem isn't even Wemby, they deadass don't wanna run plays for him and lack a good PG to set him up like Chet with Shai. At this point, the team will hold him back from ROY convos and that's just it.

The problem isn’t Wemby, they don’t want to go through him in systems and he’s missing a good playmaker to use like Chet with Shai.
If the Spurs really wanted to win, we imagine that Tre Jones would be a potential starter when we see his performance with Victor. Popovich prefers to innovate with Sochan at the lead, while Devin Vassell had his chance at position 1. But is this a good solution? Not for the fans.
The Spurs still have quite astonishing management with Victor Wembanyama. The fans are angry, especially with the front office and the fact that the roster lacks a true leader. A rookie season far from optimal for Wemby.
