Why Chris Paul believes in Spurs, Victor Wembanyama future
The post Why Chris Paul believes in Spurs, Victor Wembanyama future appeared first on ClutchPoints.
The San Antonio Spurs have a bright future, and they will be led by Victor Wembanyama for years to come. Everyone was excited to see what they would look like this previous season, but injuries doomed the team, and they ended up falling out of the playoff race. Chris Paul signed with the team last offseason, and he was recently on the Pat McAfee show to talk about their future.

'Wemby is different. Being 7'4, able to move the way that he does,' Paul said. 'He just loves the game. He loves to hoop. I think the Spurs are going to be great. You have Harrison Barnes who's a great vet, they brought in De'Aaron Fox.'
With Fox in the picture for the Spurs, they now have a dynamic duo who will be the cornerstones for the team. They also have young players such as Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, and Stephon Castle who could play a big part in their success. To add on to them trending upwards, they have the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft, and they could go in a lot of directions on what they'd like to do with the pick.
The future seems to be bright, and everyone should be watching out for them for years to come.
Spurs believe the future is bright
Not only does Paul believe that the Spurs' future is bright, but Barnes also had some great things to say about the team.

'The future is bright. This young group has is one of the more talented groups that I've been a part of, and I've been a part of some pretty good teams,' Barnes said. 'Now, hopefully, I'm not retired by the time all this talent has been realized, but the future's very bright for Spurs fans, so they should be excited.'
Barnes is under contract for one more season, and he can continue to be the vet that the team needs. This offseason will be crucial, as they can continue to build the young core, or they can go for a big star. The two names that have been mentioned as possible targets for the Spurs are Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant, and they have the pieces to pull off a trade.
If they were to land either one of those players, their ceiling would immediately rise, and they could become one of the better teams in the Western Conference sooner rather than later.

Draymond Green wants his soccer enthusiast son to take up basketball: "At some point, I'll turn into LaVar Ball"
Draymond Green wants his soccer enthusiast son to take up basketball: "At some point, I'll turn into LaVar Ball" originally appeared on Basketball Network. Being an integral part of the Warriors alongside one of the greatest backcourt duos in the Splash Brothers means Draymond Green knows his basketball well. A second-round pick in the 2012 draft, the Michigan State product defied all his doubters and naysayers, compiling a Hall of Fame resume. Advertisement Some of the biggest takeaways from Draymond's game include his tenacious defense, high basketball IQ, and leadership abilities. The veteran forward remains one of the founding pillars of the Golden State Warriors and is pivotal to their championship DNA. Given his success over the years, Dray wishes to have his legacy carried on, especially by his son. In 2022, the Warriors star tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Hazel Renee, parenting four children in a blended family. While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Draymond recently discussed his children's sports preferences. He hopes his eight-year-old son, Draymond Green Jr., gives basketball some serious thought. The 2016 DPOY felt his boy has something special regarding hooping. "My 10-year-old, she's pretty competitive, she's in dance, piano, she's more artistic. My 8-year-old plays soccer. He only wants to play soccer. I saw him play basketball, his friend had a party last weekend at a fieldhouse, and they played. He was destroying those kids. I couldn't believe it. But he won't play. So, I tried to have this conversation on the way home, I'm like, 'Hey DJ, you know if you really wanna take basketball serious, I can help you be really good. I kind of got the cheat code. He's like, 'Yeah, I'll play soccer.' So I tabled the conversation, I'm holding on," revealed the four-time All-Star, who even joked about taking some inspiration from LaVar Ball. Advertisement "I'll LaVar Ball him at some point, but I'm not there yet. At some point, I'll turn into LaVar Ball and push off. He is an amazing dad," said Draymond about the Ball family's head honcho, who made it his life's goal to groom all three sons to become NBA players. The Ball family LaVar cracked the code regarding being media savvy by making national headlines with his outlandish statements and comparisons. Leveraging the hype, he set up a sports apparel company named "Big Baller Brand" while producing a reality TV series, "Ball in the Family." The 57-year-old had begun training his three sons from a very early age. Nevertheless, this never detracted from LaVar's hard work in developing his three sons into pro ballers. The three siblings, Lonzo, LiAngelo, and LaMelo, began their journeys from Chino Hills, with Zo and Melo earning top spots in the NBA drafts. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case for Gelo, who couldn't pass the G League. Will Draymond go LaVar mode? A future first-ballot Hall of Famer, Draymond has played his entire 13 NBA seasons with the Warriors. It won't be surprising to see the 35-year-old have his statue outside of the Chase Center or Oracle Arena at some point after retirement. Advertisement Just like most fathers in the league, Dray would love to see his kid pick up where he left off. What makes the situation further interesting in the Green household is that the Warriors star sees immense potential in his eight-year-old son. Whatever the case, we hope D.J. finds the same success, if not more than his father, in whatever he chooses to pursue in his life.

Doyel: Tyrese Haliburton's historic 2025 NBA playoff run has been borderline impossible
OKLAHOMA CITY – The statistics are as preposterous as the shots Tyrese Haliburton keeps hitting, one impossible rainbow after another, none of it making sense – not the stats, not the shots – as Haliburton and the 2025 Indiana Pacers continue to write their storybook postseason march into the 2025 NBA Finals, and perhaps beyond. Perhaps all the way to NBA immortality. Haliburton is there already, authoring an individual postseason run we've never seen before. And before you do that thing people do and criticize – accuse someone of being a prisoner of the moment – ask yourself: When have you seen anything like this? Better yet, ask someone who's seen more basketball than you and me combined, Mark Boyle, the voice of the Pacers since 1988. Boyle was sitting courtside at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on April 29 as Haliburton blew past Giannis Antetokounmpo in the final second of Game in the first round. Haliburton's high-arcing scoop shot fell, and so did the Bucks in five games. Re-live the Pacers unbelievable run to the 2025 NBA Finals with IndyStar's commemorative book Boyle was courtside in Cleveland on May 6 when Haliburton dribbled past Cavs defender Ty Jerome into the lane, then darted back and launched a 30-footer over his outstretched hand to win Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Boyle was at Madison Square Garden on May 21 when Haliburton did something similar to Knicks center Mitchell Robinson in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, going into the lane and then turning around and dribbling back behind the key for a 23-footer at the buzzer. The shot bounced high off the rim as MSG exploded in happiness, then fell through the basket as the building went silent and the game went to overtime, where the Pacers won. And Boyle was at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City on Thursday for Game 1 of these NBA Finals, when Haliburton dribbled Thunder defender Cason Wallace to the right before pulling up for a 21-footer that won the game with 0.3 seconds left. It's absurd, what we're watching. When have you seen anything like this? That's what I'm asking Boyle, after first asking about the pressure of having to say something memorable, something extemporaneous, in the instant after every one of these Haliburton shots. Boyle shrugs about the pressure – he's been calling Pacers games for 37 years; whatever he says, he says – but he's not shrugging about the ride Haliburton is taking the Pacers, and the rest of us, through the 2025 NBA playoffs. 'I've seen things like this – but not at that volume,' Boyle says. 'In other words, Reggie (Miller) did some things, but Tyrese has done in a span of what – a few weeks? – he's done four things at minimum. I don't want to diminish anything Reggie did, or anything any of the greats ever did, but in my personal experience I have never seen anything like this because of the frequency and the short window.' We've not even gotten to the stats yet, the numbers, that prove what we're watching isn't just fun or rare … but borderline impossible. Nor have we asked OKC defender Alex Caruso what it's like to be on the other side of this. Let's do both now. You were promised the preposterous, and here it comes: In the 2025 NBA playoffs, on shots in the final five seconds with a chance to tie the game or take the lead, everyone in NBA not named Tyrese Haliburton is 3-for-16. Tyrese Haliburton is 4-for-4, according to ESPN. You were promised the absurd, and here it comes: This season alone, including the regular season and playoffs, Haliburton has attempted 15 shots to tie or take the lead in the final two minutes. He has made 13. For context, consider something. You're aware Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexnader was named NBA MVP this season, right? It's like this: SGA has attempted seven such shots all season – final two minutes, to tie the game or take the lead – and made exactly none of them. He's 0-for-7. And Haliburton is 13-for-15? I'm asking Boyle about it, and he's nodding. 'To put that into perspective,' he says, 'there are guys playing professional basketball – which means, great players – who could stand on a foul line in an empty gym and not hit 13 of 15.' At this very moment Saturday, the day before Game 2, Paycom Center is mostly empty. The players are here, along with an international group of reporters, but the fans are gone. The place is mostly quiet. I'm asking Thunder guard Alex Caruso about this playoff run by Haliburton. Specifically, Alex: Can you remove yourself from the equation as his opponent, and just appreciate what we're all watching? 'Sure,' Caruso says. 'Yeah – I mean, he's a competitor. I know how good of a player he is. I've got respect for that, and through this run through the playoffs he's made some big shots and big plays. That's who he is.' Haliburton has now hit a last-second shot to beat three of the four teams the Pacers have seen in the playoffs – Bucks, Cavs and Thunder – and his buzzer-beater at New York would've won that game had his toe been outside the 3-point arc. Either way, the shot forced overtime, where the Pacers won. The poor guy charged with defending Haliburton in the final six seconds Thursday night of Game 1, Wallace, was asked if he was aware of that history this postseason. 'Yeah,' he said Saturday. 'That's what we told ourselves because we have seen it. We just didn't want to let it happen to us.' You were promised the impossible, and here it comes: In the last 20 postseasons, there have been seven comebacks where the eventual winning team had a win probability of less than one-fourth of 1 percent. The Pacers have three of those wins – all this postseason. And that doesn't include Game 1 against the Thunder, when 'all' the Pacers did was rally from a 15-point deficit in the final 9½ minutes, and a nine-point hole with 2:52 left., Their win probability at that point was a robust 2.3%. Look at those four victories, and do the math. Well, here, Tom Haberstroh from Yahoo! Sports did it for you: The odds of one team pulling of all four of those comeback ever – to say nothing of doing all four within six weeks – is 1 in 17 billion. One in 17 billion. Your chance of winning the Powerball lottery is 1 in 300 million. Which means you're 57 times more likely to win, say, $200 million than the Pacers were to win those four games during this postseason. And to win those four games, it has taken a team effort clearly. Another statistic: In 33 minutes of 'clutch time' this postseason, the Pacers have committed just two turnovers. Down 10 points in the final seven minutes of Game 1 on Thursday night, the Pacers committed zero turnovers the rest of the way – and this was after they'd committed 25 turnovers in the first 41 minutes. Takes a team to win those four games and overcome those 1-in-17 billion odds. But also, it take Haliburton. Because those were the four games where Haliburton hit his shot in the final second, or at the buzzer. Haliburton hasn't talked much about the run he's one, and I'll be honest: We're not asking him about it. This feels like a no-hitter or even a perfect game we're watching. Who wants to be the one to jinx it? But Haliburton was asked Saturday about the NBA Finals, and these playoffs, in general. 'I'm just cherishing this moment,' he was saying Saturday, 'and just really enjoying what I'm doing right now.' Here was Pacers center Myles Turner, Thursday night, after Haliburton's latest game-winner. 'He's a baller and a hooper and really just a gamer,' Turner said. 'When it come to the moments, he wants the ball. He wants to be the one to hit that shot. He doesn't shy away from the moment. 'He just keeps finding a way … and the rest is history.'

Grizzlies' Zach Edey to undergo ankle surgery, miss start of 2025-26 season: Source
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey re-sprained his left ankle in an offseason workout earlier this week and will have a procedure to 'address the laxity and re-stabilize his ankle,' the team said in a statement Saturday. Edey is scheduled to undergo surgery Tuesday and is expected to miss the start of the 2025-26 season, a league source confirmed to The Athletic. Advertisement 'After consulting with the Grizzlies and multiple specialists, we decided this is the best approach for Zach long-term as it gets him back to 100 percent with no limitations,' Edey's agent, Mark Bartelstein, told The Athletic. Edey, the No. 9 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, suffered a left ankle sprain in July 2024 while playing in the NBA Summer League and missed five games. He sprained his left ankle again in November 2024 and was sidelined for the next 12 games of his rookie season. As a rookie, Edey started 55 of the 66 regular-season games he appeared in, averaging 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks en route to earning All-Rookie First Team honors. The 7-foot-4 center also started two games in the Play-In Tournament and another four in the first round of the playoffs, where Memphis was swept by the eventual Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Edey's absence for the start of next season puts the Grizzlies front office in a unique position. Reserve big Brandon Clarke, who missed the tail end of the season with a right PCL sprain, opted against surgery and should be fully healthy by the time the 2025-26 campaign rolls around. Outside of Clarke, sparingly used Jay Huff would be the only other true center on Memphis' roster. The free agent center market isn't exactly robust, but there are a few names that could help the Grizzlies in the interim, specifically Steven Adams, who played for Memphis between 2021 and 2023. Expect the Grizzlies to also consider options like Brook Lopez, Clint Capela and Kevon Looney, who could help immediately and be had at the non-taxpayer mid-level rate. Edey, the 2023 and 2024 National Player of the Year at Purdue, played in 138 of a possible 139 games during his four-year college career. His lone absence was due to a non-COVID illness in the 2022-23 season.
