Despite stellar defensive stats, Wemby came up short in DPOY voting.
However, the team will also look to improve, and if left up to Basketball Hall of Famer George Karl, he'd start by adding veteran players to the San Antonio roster to help the NBA Rookie of the Year.“I would probably have to say that he needs more than one veteran. In today’s game, most teams that are rebuilding do it totally young. I don’t think that works," said Karl."I think that you have to have old and you have to have new.
Throughout the season, losses could be pinned on youth and inexperience, but by the season's end, the young Spurs turned it around, winning four of their last six games, knocking off the Knicks and Nuggets and forcing the 76ers to a double-overtime game before losing."We gave them a little bit of what it would be like moving forward as far as how the team is going," Tre Jones said."These last few weeks or months, we've been playing better.
From draft picks to the financial cap space and players on the roster to use in potential future deals, the Spurs can undoubtedly bring in the right vets. "It's not like we're starting next year with a bunch of veterans. We'll still be young but we'll be able to pick up where we left off for sure. Be able to just go with the chemistry that we built throughout the year," said Jones.
