NBA Free Agency: What's Spurs 'Biggest Hole'? /

San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs have a few needs to address this offseason.

While their biggest need -- a star to build around -- will be fulfilled in the draft when they select Victor Wembanyama, the team still has a few holes to fill.

Bleacher Report believes the team's biggest hole is at the point guard position.

"Much of the buzz around the Spurs this season will come via the draft instead of free agency, and that's perfectly OK," Bleacher Report writes. "This team now needs to do everything it can to maximize the play of Victor Wembanyama, which includes solidifying the point guard position."

Among the team's in-house free agents, Tre Jones is the biggest one. Jones started 65 games for the Spurs this past season, and if San Antonio doesn't retain him or match an offer sheet from whichever team looks to sign him, a replacement will be needed.

Jones, 23, averaged 12.9 points and 6.6 assists in his third professional season and is expected to have a big payday this summer. While Jones is good, there may be better options out there on the open market, and the Spurs should keep all of their options open and maintain flexibility this summer.
