Wemby called his meeting arranged by the NHL with 18-year-old Chicago Blackhawks rookie sensation Connor Bedard a great experience.
“It’s not often – almost never – that I get to meet people so great that also have so many similarities with myself,” he said. – 11:09 PM

Vassell says Spurs have to know each other’s strengths. “Wemby at 7-5, we’ve got to see him when he is down there. Whether he is posting up or is sealing early, we got to see him. If Jeremy is posting a smaller guard, we’ve got to know that that is a mismatch and get it to him.” – 10:35 PM

Andre Drummond has deceptively quick hands, he’s developed a real knack for creating steals/deflections during the hedge/switch part of a screen – 8:35 PM

Pop told me the McCombs family rejoining the #Spurs ownership group is a “fantastic situation.” He said the addition of more local investors gives the franchise more of a “family-like” feel. “I think that’s the way the Holts want it, and that’s what we are used to,” he said. – 7:48 PM
