Everyone on the San Antonio Spurs would be quick to point to Victor Wembanyama as the team's leader. He's easily the best player on the roster, if not in the entire league, and his competitive spirit sets the tone for the rest of the roster.

After close or important wins, he's often overcome with emotion, going viral for his soundbites and making it clear that he's not going to put up with the nonchalant gimmick that plagues other stars.

However, it's a double-edged sword. Showing that he cares about winning is healthy for the league. Letting his frustrations get the best of him, though, is not the best look. Before the regular season starts, the Spurs aim to make reigning in his emotions a priority.

With every playoff win last spring, Wembanyama looked like the happiest person on Earth. During the losses, though, he often let his exuberance get the better of him.

"Victor certainly presents himself for the most part as a very mature, thoughtful, young guy, but there were streaks of immaturity throughout that playoff run," said ESPN's Tim MacMahon. "The crap with lining up the elbow on Naz Reed...and then taking zero accountability."

Wembanyama certainly meant to hit Reed, even if he didn't admit it. He also shoved Jalen Brunson in the Finals. Fans, including yours truly, enjoyed watching him refuse to be bullied. However, getting ejected and nearly suspended would have been catastrophic.

This season, the Spurs still want him to be a leader on and off the court, but are asking him to be more thoughtful.

"Victor Wembanyama grabbed a clipboard during a huddle at Sunday’s scrimmage and sketched up a play he was sure would work," reported Jared Weiss from the Spurs' scrimmage. "Ideally, this won’t be the last time Wembanyama draws up a play this season. He made strides learning how to read the floor in Year 3. Now he has to own his space more efficiently and effectively in Year 4."

Wemby doesn't quite have the court vision of Nikola Jokic, but he is elite nonetheless. The Spurs are hoping they can tap into that this season.

Maybe, if Wembanyama is the one who writes up the plays, he'll have bigger fish to fry than guys like Reed pushing him around. Plus, it should help him become even more of a focal point on offense.
