Wembanyama One Man Team vs San Antonio. Hot Debate Mountain King Candidate Theory. From now on, the true media test will be

There is no disagreement about the fact that he is one of the best players this season.
Let's go further. Will the Wembley-led San Antonio Spurs be the favorite. This part has a wide range of evaluation spectra.
ESPN discussed the topic with four experts.
The media published an analysis article on the 5th (Korea time) under the theme of 'Is the San Antonio Spurs led by Victor Wembanyama a true favorite?'
The media outlet said 'San Antonio appears to be a young team making a leap forward. It started with a five-game series for the first time in franchise history, and Wembanyama was considered the second best player in the league. 'The real test is from now on. Now tricky teams are holding up, and we have to overcome them.
There are positive views.
The media reported that if Wembanyama continues to play like an MVP candidate, San Antonio's potential will increase that much. Wembanyama has a PER (Player Efficiency Index) of 30.7 for six games. In the history of the NBA, there have been 35 cases of player efficiency ratings of 30 or more, and their teams have won an average of 53.5 games.
However, there is also a counterargument. The media outlet said 'NBA's playership is too deep. The odds of a single transcendent superstar bringing his team to the top are low. During the heyday of Janis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, they performed tremendously, but the team's performance remained in the middle. San Antonio is still unclear about the quality of its 2 options to support Wembanyama. San Antonio is also unlikely to leap to the top. Stéphane Castle, who won the Rookie of the Year award last season, has excellent defense and an average of 20 points. However, De'Aaron Parks and Dylan Harper are injured.
This is the part that came out as San Antonio's weakness even before the season. The absence of two options to support Wembley is the key. Furthermore, inaccurate three-pointers by players who have to provide outside support such as Pax, Castle, and Harper when Wembley provides spacings were also pointed out as weaknesses.
