Despite a defeat against Wolves this Friday, Spurs showed good things for 48 minutes, to the point that victory was not that far away. Victor Wembanyama is logically acclaimed for his performance, but he is not the only one to have highlighted himself.
With a series of 4 consecutive defeats, Gregg Popovich’s men are already going through a complex period in this long NBA season. No need to panic, especially since many expected such a scenario, but we imagine that Victor Wembanyama and his friends are eager to react. It could start this Sunday with a possible victory over the Heat, a formidable opponent in the Eastern Conference.
Behind Wembanyama, the other Spurs star player
But the Frenchman will not be the only one followed, since the return of Devin Vassell has done a lot of good for this team. Also the author of 29 points, the winger stands out as the ideal profile to play alongside Wemby. Having little need for the ball and ready to do anything to defend, Vassell is one of the organization’s big hopes for future years. And Victor is not mistaken.
#Spurs notebook: Nine games into the season, Victor Wembanyama can see why the club has bet heavily on Devin Vassell’s future.
“It’s good to have guys like this,” the rookie star said after watching Vassell match a career high with 29 points.https://t.co/KQ8KORBC8U

Victor Wembanyama on Devin Vassell: “Devin has been very impressive since arriving in San Antonio. Not just as a player, but also as a leader off the court. I am very confident and I have no concerns about his future in this franchise. It’s good to have guys like him here.”
With Wembanyama and even Keldon Johnson, Vassell is part of the future with the Spurs, he who already has the complete confidence of Gregg Popovich. Alongside Victor, number 24 also has everything to win in Texas.

Even if Victor Wembanyama draws the spotlight on himself, we cannot forget the rest of the Spurs roster, and that starts with Devin Vassell. A very interesting player who continues to gain strength, with complementary play from Wemby. The ideal partner on paper.
