The San Antonio Spurs don’t have the best options to turn to when star center Victor Wembanyama heads to the bench, which was evident in the NBA Finals vs. the New York Knicks.
Luke Kornet may be a fan-favorite due to his high energy and fearless play style, but he doesn’t possess the skill necessary to pick up the slack in Wembanyama’s absence. Additionally, Kelly Olynyk and Bismack Biyombo aren’t regular rotational guys, making it pivotal to find a viable backup center this summer.
CBS Sports’ Sam Quinn recently identified a Golden State Warriors NBA champion veteran frontcourt stud as a potential free agent target for the franchise.
“Here's the luxury option I'm more excited about: Kristaps Porzingis,” Quinn wrote last Sunday. “Golden State has the advantage with Bird Rights, but if the Warriors are saving their money for James or another similarly splashy addition, Porzingis might be gettable at the mid-level.”
