San Antonio currently has the worst offense in the sim. He’s shooting 42% from three, but is only taking two attempts per game. In a limited role, Reggie Bullock has had a minimal impact. NBA2K’s “rookie report” has him ranked 4th in impact made by rookies, behind Brandon Miler, Scoot Henderson and Chet Holmgren. He’s shooting an abysmal 32.5% from the field and 23.8% from three. Wembanyama has struggled to adjust to the NBA game, as he’s averaging 11.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks a game.

How could this team be struggling even more despite their offseason additions? First of all, their acquisitions haven’t been playing very well. Somewhat of a surprise, the Charlotte Hornets are 9-11 and in contention for a play-in spot, which bodes well for the Spurs draft assets next offseason. The Dallas Mavericks are also struggling, going 6-14. Luckily for them, there is a lot of season left, the they are just 5 games out of a play-in spot. After dropping the next three games to the Warriors, Nuggets and Hawks, the Sliver and Black ended the first 20 games on a two game winning streak, defeating the Pelicans and Jazz.Īfter the first 20 games, the Spurs find themselves with the worst record in the NBA at 4-16. Reprieve came in the form of a 112-105 revenge win over the Clippers, on the back of Vassell and Johnson, who both dropped 22 in the home victory. Over the course of the 13 game skid, the Spurs were outscored by a total of 298 points. There was an 125-77 loss to the Clippers, 123-85 against the Suns, 135-98 against the Pacers and 125-88 against the Thunder. I’m glad we got the euphoria out of the way early, because the rest of the simulation was not kind to the Spurs.Īfter winning their opener, San Antonio dropped their next 13 games. Wemby struggled to score in the opener, putting up 12 and 9 on 3-13 shooting. Zach Collins was a beast on the boards, nearly having himself a 20-20 game while grabbing six offensive rebounds. Sochan had an incredible game off the bench, putting up 21 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks in just 21 minutes of play. The Spurs barely pulled out a 122-121 win in San Antonio. Expectations were high going into the first game with the Dallas Mavericks.Īn opening night win over an in-state rival is the ideal start to the Wembanyama era. That’s interesting because the team doesn’t have many high overalls, and was one of the worst teams in the league last year. Preseason expectations and resultsĪccording to the NBA2K power rankings, the Spurs are expected to be the fourteenth best team in the NBA.

This would obviously not be my choice, and I would be shocked if this is what actually happens, but I want to keep my hands off of this simulation as much as possible. I really didn’t have a choice on who got cut. One thing I noticed is that the game automatically cut two players to get the roster to 15 players. I kept all other minutes and rotations the same to keep it accurate to the games settings. I did not alter anything besides swapping Collins and Sochan. I went back and forth on whether or not I should move Sochan to small forward, and move Johnson to the bench, but ultimately decided to sit Sochan because Johnson has the second highest overall rating on the team (and this is a simulation based on ratings after all.) The first change I made was to move Jeremy Sochan to the bench, and add Collins to the starting lineup. As many Spurs fans are aware of, Wembanyama is slated to start at the forward position, and be flanked by Zach Collins as the starting center. The first thing I noticed when booting up the simulation is that the game has Victor Wembanyama starting at center, with Tre Jones, Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson and Jeremy Sochan filling out the rest of the first five. Without further ado, here is how the first 20 games went for the Spurs in the NBA 2K24 simulation.

I have left the simulation settings on default, meaning we will be getting the games true take on how next year will go for the Silver and Black. I will only intervene when an injury happens and the rotation needs to be adjusted.

I won’t be signing free agents, accepting or proposing trades, or making any roster changes. To make this as “accurate” as possible, I am not interfering in any games. In this series, we will be breaking down the NBA season into 20-game segments, tracking how the Spurs do over the course of the simulation.

Which is why I downloaded the newest NBA 2K game to run your 2023-24 San Antonio Spurs through a full season simulation to see how they fare. There are so many burning questions about the team next year that urgently need answered. Offseason burnout is at an all-time high, and Spurs fans need a remedy. In mid-September it can feel like the NBA season is years away, despite opening night being right around the corner.
