Questions for The Vic-and-Roll Mailbag
The Spurs are showing serious signs of life as we approach the midseason mark.
The San Antonio Spurs have rung in the New Year with back-to-back losses, but their latest defeat at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks was arguably their most impressive showing of the season. Not only did Victor Wembanyama trade buckets with Giannis Antetokounmpo in crunch time, but Devin Vassell demonstrated the versatile scoring skills that earned him a lucrative extension from the front office this summer.
Several unfortunate injuries have forced Gregg Popovich to tinker with rotations, and fans finally caught a glimpse of how fluid the offense can look when Tre Jones gets an overdue promotion to the starting lineup. While having a natural point guard running the show invigorated San Antonio, it is far rom a definitive solution to all their issues. With that in mind, send in your million-dollar questions for our weekly mailbag.
You can also find me on Twitter (@N_Magaro) or Threads (Noah_Magaro). I will get to as many of these as possible and have answers for our readers by Tuesday afternoon.
