Episode notes
Wembanyama's Game-Altering Impact
- Victor Wembanyama's presence masks many Spurs flaws and changes opponents' decisions on every play.
- His ability to draw fouls, hit jumpers, and force help creates open shots for teammates.
Spurs Are Legit Top-Six Threat
- San Antonio's youth, spacing, and wings make them a top-six team if Wembanyama stays healthy.
- Zach Lowe still bets against them reaching the Finals due to West strength and playoff growth needed.
Knicks' Multi-Path Offense
- Knicks' offense ranks second and has multiple pathways: Brunson-Cam two-man action, inverted PNRs, and off-ball movement.
- If their wings and Mitchell Robinson stay healthy they should remain above-average defensively.
