Will “The Alien” propel the Spurs to new heights this season?

Victor Wembanyama begins his third season with the Spurs, following his selection as the top pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
So far, this 7-foot-3 rising star has earned accolades such as Rookie of the Year, All-Star, first-team All-Defensive selection, and he led the league in blocks during both of his seasons.
However, he still seeks to bring the Spurs back to the playoffs and achieve further individual honors.

Is this the year for Wemby and the Spurs to compete for an NBA title? Will he finally claim the Defensive Player of the Year award? Could he also be in contention for the MVP title?

Let’s examine Wembanyama’s current betting odds as reported by FanDuel Sportsbook on October 9.
