Spurs don't believe Trae Young fits with Victor Wembanyama?
League sources have told NBC Sports not to bet on that happening, as San Antonio doesn’t see Young as a fit with Wembanyama going forward. The Spurs might be more interested in the Hawks’ Dejounte Murray if he is available.
NBA players' poll: Victor Wembanyama top defender in the NBA
Victor Wembanyama said last month that his friend and fellow Frenchman Rudy Gobert would be a worthy winner of the 2023-24 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. But Wembanyama also added that, in future seasons, he, and not Gobert, would be the front-runner. Their NBA peers, however, feel Wembanyama’s time has already arrived. Players voted the towering Spurs rookie as the league’s best defender right now. Wembanyama led the league in blocks, averaging 3.58 per game. His next closest competitor, Utah’s Walker Kessler, recorded 2.41 blocks per game.

Victor Wembanyama in the mix for the ROY and DPOY awards
Andrew Lopez: Not only is Victor Wembanyama a finalist for the Rookie of the Year, he’s also one of the three finalists for Defensive Player of the Year. With positionless voting this year, Wembanyama could become the first rookie in NBA history to make first team All-Defense.
