Spurs' Victor Wembanyama is already experimenting with game-changing new skill

As the NBA calendar switches over to September, we are now closer than ever to seeing San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama back in action. He may also have a new trick in his bag once he finally takes the floor.

Wembanyama's most underrated skill is his passing ability, and that may be on full display next season. According to Sam Vecenie, Wembanyama has been working on using "tip outlet passes" to try and ignite the fast break.

That would be an intriguing use of his skill set and maximize De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper's abilities too. They all have the ability to get out in transition, especially Fox, who is blazing fast.

Wembanyama throwing outlet passes will help the Spurs play faster

Wembanyama working on his outlet passes signals that coach Mitch Johnson plans to play faster. That is a smart move with the Spurs having young legs, hopefully allowing them to rack up easy points in the fast break.

Having Wembanyama crash the glass, toss a quick hit-ahead pass, and having Fox, Castle, and/or Harper push the pace in transition could be lethal. So much so that it could help the Spurs offset their comical lack of shooting, with five rotation players being nonfactors from outside.

Not just that, but Wembanyama's shot blocking may also ignite fast breaks. Being able to get out in transition will be key for the Spurs. It is also reminiscent of how the Spurs played during Tim Duncan's later years.

The Spurs may follow a tried and true blueprint with Wembanyama

He would often throw out lead passes to Tony Parker or Manu Ginobili, who could probe for attack lanes while defenses weren't set. If they couldn't get anything easy in transition, then they'd simply go into the half-court offense.

In this team's case, San Antonio could still use Wembanyama after he tosses throw-ahead passes. He could feast on threes while trailing the fast break.

Teams may be so focused on keeping the Spurs from getting easy shots in transition that they temporarily lose track of Wembanyama trailing the play. If that doesn't work, then they would still have plenty of time to score in the half-court, though their lack of shooting may limit them there.

That increases the need to take advantage of quick scoring opportunities and rely on Wembanyama and Fox to help them score effectively in the half-court. Were that to happen, then San Antonio might be far better than expected offensively next season.
