Victor Wembanyama may have just added a dangerous weapon to his offensive arsenal

The San Antonio Spurs' offseason is all but over, but it may just be beginning for superstar Victor Wembanyama. He is already hard at work and even practicing with teammates such as De'Aaron Fox, Harrison Barnes, and new addition Tobias Harris.

Better still, he appears to be working on a new shot to add to his offensive arsenal. In one clip posted by the Spurs on X, Wemby was being guarded by Harris in the post, and he hit a picturesque turnaway fadeaway jumper ala Dirk Nowitzki.

If that is a sign of things to come, it could be a game-changer not just for Wembanyama but also for the Spurs.

Victor Wembanyama adding a go-to shot would be a game-changer

I can hear the criticism now: why is a 7'4 center fading away when posting up? Well, by doing so, he's creating separation from his defender while also making his unblockable shot even more difficult to stop.

Hopefully he will be even stronger next season, which will allow him to get better positioning in the post. Even so, he has been an inefficient post player due to his struggles with turnovers.

A lot of that has to do with teams double- or triple-teaming him when he has the ball in the paint. Having a counter by hitting a quick turnaround jumper could not only negate that strategy but also give him a reliable shot.

Adding a go-to move is crucial to Wembanyama's development

Ironically, former Spur LaMarcus Aldridge has been calling for Wembanyama to add a go-to shot, and he may finally be taking that advice.

In some ways, it's impressive that he averaged 25 points per game last season despite not having a go-to shot. Imagine how great he could be if he could master the Dirk fadeaway as a counter to the double teams and the physicality opposing teams throw his way.

That wasn't the only thing of interest from the workout video. Barnes employed the same strategy that opposing teams use when guarding Wembanyama in the post.

He was both physical and handsy when guarding Wembanyama, constantly swiping at the ball and trying to take him out of his comfort zone.

Wembanyama specifically practicing for that will hopefully make him much better in the post next season. Particularly if he adds that turnaround jumper to his offensive arsenal.
