The Spurs just went 5-0 in preseason, Stephon Castle’s breaking out, and Wemby looks unstoppable… but how good can this team actually be? Are we looking at a playoff sleeper — or the start of the next NBA dynasty?

Where will the spurs rank in the west?
Last season, with Wemby out for almost half of the season, the Spurs managed to win 34 wins. With a fully healthy Wemby, we can estimate that the Spurs would have surely won around 5 more wins (so very closed to 39 wins).
The Over/Under of the Spurs are currently at 44.5, meaning that the Spurs are expected to only win 5/6 more wins this season (than the expected win total if Wemby would have been healthy).
I definitely don't buy it…
1) Wemby already seems far much better than last season.
2) Castle already shows that he should manage to improve this season.
3) Vassell, Sochan, KJ, Champagnie are getting more experience.
4) The Spurs have at last added elite rim protection for the minutes without Wemby with Kornet (one of the main reasons of the bad results of the Spurs the previous seasons).
5) The young bad players (Wesley, Branham, Bassey, Cissoko,…) have been replaced by good vets (Mclaughlin, Waters, Olynyk,…) who will bring good minutes in case of multiple injuries.
6) The Spurs added two lotery picks with Harper and Bryant for the second unit.
7) Fox will play a complete season with the Spurs without hand injury. In 2023/2024, he was a NBA top10 scorer.
Conclusion : 45 wins should be the floor for the Spurs. The ceiling will mainly depend on the improvements of the different young players and is very difficult to evaluate.
The only hole the young core have is shooting from castle and sochan. In 2 years that isn't gonna be a weakness anymore.
Carter Bryant doesn't bring microwave scoring off the bench. Lol.
As high his potential are. He's not NBA ready. His decision making is way behind. He's most likely gonna be playing for spurs gleague his 1st year.
