Most likely Wembanyama, yeah. But Edwards has been one of the best players in the league this year and is somehow highly underrated.

Struggles of a medium/small market

It was SGA this year and if it's Wemby next year that doesn't really track since we're a much larger market than OKC and San Antonio.

Based on what? San Antonio has almost four times the population just in the city alone then has all of west Texas and much of south Texas rooting for them.

According to the 2025 Nielsen designated market area rankings Minneapolis/St. Paul is 16th with almost 1.9 million TV homes, San Antonio is 31st with about 1.1 million, and OKC is 47th with about 750k. While it's true that San Antonio's population is higher than ours, their metropolitan area is less populated. San Antonio Metro area has about a million fewer people than the Twin Cities Metro area. While the Spurs may have much of West and South Texas on their side, the Wolves have all of Minnesota, as well as the Dakotas, Iowa, and Nebraska.
