Outcomes: How Spurs followers really feel heading into the all-star break

All-Star weekend kicked off on Friday as Victor Wembanyama and Jeremy Sochan took the ground for Rising Star apply classes. The 2 San Antonio Spurs have an opportunity to play towards one another, making it a should watch occasion for followers of the Silver and Black. Whereas the sights and sounds of All-Star Weekend are thrilling, the break also can carry a while for relaxation and leisure after a troublesome 50+ video games.

This week we requested our readers what they thought in regards to the Spurs heading into the break. Who wanted it probably the most, how Wembanyama and Sochan will truthful, and who deserves a much bigger position within the second half of the season. Let’s take a look at among the outcomes.

Wembanyama will likely be suiting up for workforce Pau Gasol, and Sochan will play for workforce Jalen Rose. The 2 squads are on reverse sides of the bracket, which means that Spurs followers may see the 2 teammates sq. off within the championship recreation. Most of you assume that Wembanyama will get the very best of Sochan and workforce Rose. It is sensible – Wembanyama has been the Spurs finest participant this season, so why would it not be any totally different on Friday night time? I’ll simply say, don’t neglect how enjoyable Sochan was within the recreation final yr. These kinds of video games cater nicely to a ball of power like Sochan.

The Spurs have struggled a bit heading into the all-star break. Wembanyama and the remainder of the workforce have regarded like they hit a wall over the past two weeks. Now they’ll have important time to relaxation, get their our bodies proper and reframe their focus for the tip of the season. Most of our readers assume it will profit Wembanyama probably the most – he’ll want it as he pushes to seize the Rookie of the 12 months trophy at seasons finish. I’m most fascinated by how Zach Collins seems to be publish all-star break. If he can discover his capturing stroke over his break day, it would simply flip his season round.

Final season the Spurs went into full “tank mode” to complete the season. We noticed guys like Dominick Barlow, Julian Champagnie, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Blake Wesley get massive minutes whereas the starters discovered their method onto the harm record. Whereas there isn’t a Wembanyama on the finish of the tunnel, the Spurs may discover themselves in a scenario the place they need to give some younger guys a glance down the stretch.

Most respondents assume Barlow deserves extra taking part in time within the remaining third of the season. The sophomore has performed nicely off the bench all year long. Whereas nonetheless on a two-way contract, he may play his method into the rotation if Collins continues to battle. Sidy Cissoko hasn’t gotten many alternatives with the Spurs this season. He’s spent a lot of the yr with the G League workforce. His flashes of passing and defensive fortitude may very well be one thing the Spurs teaching workers desires to get a take a look at late this season.

You may watch Wembanyama and Sochan in motion Friday night time within the Rising Stars Problem, and Wemby once more on Saturday within the Kia Expertise Problem.
