Building the right roster around Victor Wembanyama is not a simple thing. His brilliance as a defender and versatility on offense give a front office an immense amount of flexibility in casting a vision and adding key players to the roster. From trading for De'Aaron Fox to drafting Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper and signing Luke Kornet, the Spurs are intentionally putting players around Wembanyama to help him and the team thrive.
