Spurs Fiesta 5: Jaxson Hayes Return to Texas, Victor Wembanyama Frontcourt Teammate?

Inside The Spurs identifies five of the biggest NBA storylines in addition to relevant San Antonio Spurs news and analysis.

1. JAXSON HAYES TO SPURS?

"While Hayes struggled this past season, averaging a career-low five points per game, the former No. 8 overall pick could be the perfect big man to pair with Wembanyama. As a 7-4 center, Wembanyama would best be served to protect the rim, but as a playmaker, he would play more on the perimeter on offense. Hayes would allow Wembanyama to play his best position on both ends of the floor."

2. GRAHAM WANTS TO STAY

"This is my third team," Graham said via KENS5. "I want to stay. It's a great city to be in. The fans have been great. We have a chance to do something special, so just growing, man."
