There is a significant inefficiency when it comes to the Spurs projected season win total, specifically their over under is currently at 30. 5. And this has even increased from previous days where it was 28. depending on the sports book. Last season, the Spurs had 22 wins. So if Victor Wimbenyama can only account for nine additional wins, The Spurs are going to meet that number, and I think they’re going to far exceed that number.
My guess is it’s at 45 wins. Victor has already stated that his his goal is to qualify for the playoffs. I think the Spurs are going to push right away. Victor wants to be competitive, and why wouldn’t he? He has a realistic chance to be the best basketball player of all time. He can already do things that other NBA players have never been able to do.
And he is going to change the way the game, the, he’s going to change the way the game is played, much like Steph Curry has, much like Shaquille O’Neal has. Victor Wimbenyama is going to add another dimension to the NBA game that has never been seen before. So, other rookies that have had immediate impact include Carmelo Anthony with 26 wins, Larry Bird plus 32, Kareem 29, LeBron 18, Shaquille O’Neal 20, Michael Jordan, 11 Luca nine.
And then, of course, the Spurs have had two huge turnarounds in their history. David Robinson added 35 wins when he was a rookie and the Spurs advanced to the second round of the playoffs. Tim Duncan was very similar. He had a 36 win turnaround, albeit with David Robinson coming back from injury. But the Spurs also made the second round of the playoffs there.
I think this is where the Spurs are headed. I think they’re going to have a huge win increase. I think they’re going to make the playoffs. And I think Victor Wimpenyama is going to take over the NBA and absolutely dominate. In the preseason, he’s already shown he can, and I think he will. Now there has been talk about the Spurs taking it slow this first season and using it as a development season.
I don’t see any reason for that. I think the Spurs should push right away. This is what Victor wants. This is what Victor is capable of. And we don’t know how long NBA careers are going to last. Time goes by quick. So why not make this first season count and push as hard as possible to go as far into the playoffs as possible?
There are zero expectations on the Spurs. There are No, there’s no pressure. As I already stated, the over under when total is 30. 5, but this first can win and they can win right now. Victor is going to change the game. And I think this first are going to win a lot more games than than people are expecting.
