How Spurs building around Victor Wembanyama mimics other crucial off-seasons

As generational a talent as Victor Wembanyama may be, the San Antonio Spurs have been here before. Wemby followed David Robinson and Tim Duncan as iconic top overall picks in the franchise's history. In the summer of 1989, with Robinson en route after a two-year Naval commitment, the Spurs added Terry Cummings and Maurice Cheeks through two different trades. In the off-season leading up to Duncan's second NBA season, the team added Mario Elie, Steve Kerr, and Jerome Kersey among multiple new pieces.
