4. Attract Free Agents

San Antonio rarely attracts big-name free agents. Though the 2-1-0 is one of the best basketball towns in the country, as a small market, it doesn't compare to cities on the East and West Coast. Adding a prospect like Wembanyama, who will have more attention from the media than any former Spurs star, will make San Antonio a much more coveted destination for free agents.

His playstyle will also be extremely attractive to free agents. The gravity he brings on the court will open space for everyone else to operate. He'll have the same effect as stars like Kevin Durant, Luka Doncic, and Steph Curry, drawing extra attention from help defenders. Wembanyama does so much on the floor, and he could also help attract free agents to San Antonio.
