Episode Details

Utah Jazz confront the Victor Wembanyama conundrum: is three-point shooting the key to unlocking their offense against the San Antonio Spurs’ rising superstar? David Locke uncovers the staggering defensive metrics that make Wembanyama a generational threat, exploring how his rim protection and floor-altering presence force opponents to rethink shot selection. Can spreading the floor with five shooters and ramping up long-range attempts break through Victor’s dominance?

Locke spotlights potential draft target Cameron Boozer, dissecting his fit as a versatile, shooting big who might provide the Jazz with an answer on both ends. The episode breaks down offensive sets—pick-and-roll, handoffs, off-ball screens—and NBA data to reveal what works (and fails) against Wembanyama. Plus, Mark Daigneault’s clever late-game plays show how top coaches adjust lineups to neutralize San Antonio’s prodigy. Don’t miss this tactical blueprint for building a contender in the Victor Wembanyama era.
