As the regular season approaches, one thing is important to keep in mind when considering the San Antonio Spurs. The expectations and excitement for Victor Wembanyama are high, but we need to stay controlled and measured about his development as a player. It’s not all going to be show-stopping highlights and immediate success. Victor Wembanyama may have been compared to LeBron James as a valuable prospect and we may compare him to Tim Duncan as the next generational seven-footer destined to change San Antonio's fortunes, but he’s not those players. And even considering his first preseason game, we should remember that it’s not about immediate success or …

OH MY GOD DID HE JUST HEAD BUTT CHET HOLMGREN THEN DUNK ON HIM AND THEN FLEX ON TOP OF HIS CRUMBLED HEADBUTTED BODY, THAT WAS THE SICKEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. THE WEMBY ERA HAS BEGUN AND HE IS UN-BELIEVABLY UNSTOPPABLE. VICTOR WEMBANYAMA IS THE NEXT COMING OF JORDAN, LIKE A BASKETBALL SAVANT BORN IN A LAB SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO CREATE A SUPER HUMAN BASKETBALL SUPER GOD….

Oh so sorry, I just blacked out a little, and have no recollection of drafting the last paragraph. Getting back to where I was -- it’s very important that we let Wemby develop on his own and that will be a process. He needs time and patience in order to develop his skills, to learn to play the NBA game, to condition himself to the physical rigors of the NBA. Watching his second game here, we need to ensure we take it easy and…

WHAT ALL MIGHTY WAS THAT? WEMBY JUST CAUGHT A PASS AT THE THREE POINT LINE ON A BREAK AND THEN EURO-STEPPED OVER A MIAMI PLAYER LIKE HE WAS NOT EVEN THERE TO THEN LAY THE BALL IN LIKE HE WAS DR. J. OR SOMETHING. HE JUST TRAVERSED THE DISTANCE FROM THE 3-POINT LINE TO THE BASKET IN LIKE TWO STEPS LIKE IT WAS NO BIGGER THAN TWO BOXES IN A HOPSCOTCH. NEVER HAS SUCH ELEGANCE AND GRACE BEEN SEEN ON A BASKETBALL COURT BEFORE NOT EVEN SEAN ELLIOTT HAD SUCH A SILKY SMOOTH SCOOP AND DELIVERY…

Oh my total bad guys, I keep just losing time writing this. Once again, the last couple minutes were just a total blur, and I can’t recall what I wrote. I’m sure what I was writing though was that Wemby will take time to build chemistry with his teammates and we can’t expect things to just click. It could easily be two or three years before we get real results from this and we need to all have totally rational expectations about the Spurs’ prospects next year. They are not a Championship team and even competing for a playoff spot would be a complete win in my book for this upcoming year given Wemby and the other Spurs’ youth. We, as fans, need to be reasonable about…

WOOOOAH. TRE JONES JUST LIKE TOSSED THE BALL VAGUELY IN THE DIRECTION OF THE HOOP AND NOT ONLY DID WEMBY GO GET IT, HE FREAKIN’ TRACKED IT DOWN LIKE A TRAINED ASSASSIN AND DUNKED IT IN TRAFFIC. THE MIAMI HEAT WERE FOOLS FOR EVEN TRYING TO DEFEND THIS GUY. IT’S OVER…OVER I SAY…LIKE LEBRON SAID -- "NOT 1, NOT 2, NOT 3…NOT 7!!!!"

Oh okay, well you guys get the picture. It’s all about easing into the season and doing the hard work to improve. That’s what this season is all about…
