San Antonio – Following the NBA schedule released On Thursday, KSAT asked fans about their thoughts on how far this year’s San Antonio Spurs team could go this year.
With the recent additions of veterans Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes via free agency, and rookie Stephon Castle via this year’s NBA Draft, there was plenty of optimism that the team would finish better than last year’s 22-60 record – especially after seeing the electric play of French phenom Victor Wembanyama at this year’s Paris Olympics.
After a day of voting, the consensus favorite was that this year’s team would reach the first round of the playoffs this season.
If this prediction comes true, it would be the first time that the Spurs have reached the playoffs since the 2018-19 season when they lost to the Denver Nuggets in the first round. It would also mean several players would make their playoff debuts.
These include forwards Jeremy Sochan, Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, Julian Champagne and Wembanyama, as well as guards Tre Jones, Malaki Branham and Castle.
Other poll results showed that 29% of fans think they would miss the playoffs, 11% think they will advance to the second round, 5% see the team reaching the Western Conference Finals and 15% of fans think they will reach the NBA Finals.
