Pretty self explanatory. Is Victor so good from the get go that its enough to propel the Spurs past the Jazz in the standings next season?
Do The Spurs Surpass The Jazz in Victor's Rookie Year?
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
Not even close.
He could make them a top 5 offense by himself. Plus they have a lot of young talent like Keldo. Johnson,Devin Cassell, and Jeremy Sochan.
Probably a premature thread, but if the Spurs add any halfway decent vets it's pretty easy to see it happening.

People are getting way ahead of themselves with Vic… heard someone say he wins a chip on his rookie deal… best prospect in all of sports history… look he should be awesome but calm the **** down.
He will win a chip within his rookie deal.
His rookie deal? You’re saying he’s going to win within his first four years?
Nah, every team will have a defensive strategy planned specifically for him. They’ll physical him up. They’ll agitate him.
Every player will play extra hard against him. Fans will root against him. He’ll get rattled.
His ceiling is Anthony Davis for me, if that.

He hasn't even made his own team a top 5 offense in the French League.

No. I think the jazz will be a playoff team but the Spurs are still 2+ years out.
He may be the most unique prospect ever, but he's not the best. It is getting extreme when people are saying he's a failure if he's KD or Hakeem lol.
You could put any single player on the Spurs and I would bet against them winning a championship in the next four years.
Shaq carried the Magic to the NBA Finals while on his rookie deal. The Magic had more of a team around him though, with Penny, Dennis Scott, Nick Anderson and Horace Grant.
If I were the Spurs, I would load-manage Victor and help him build his body and stamina. I'd bring him along slowly until there's more of a roster built around him.

Right now, the Jazz have torn down their roster to the studs. They have Lauri, Walker, Colin and Ochai, basically. They've got some more of Rudy Gay to mentor, and maybe they pick up Kelly Olynyk's option. A lot has to happen with the Jazz's roster though. If nothing else, the Jazz need to add more salary so they can package it along with their picks to make trades.
