**AITA for Thinking the Spurs Are Gaslighting Us Into Believing Devin Vassell Is a Future Superstar?**
AITA for thinking the Spurs are gaslighting us into believing Devin Vassell is a future superstar?
Okay, so hear me out, Reddit. TL;DR: Devin Vassell puts up 18 points on 40% shooting, misses 15 games with a “sore knee,” and the entire Spurs PR machine starts tweeting about his “elite two-way potential” like we didn’t just watch Jalen Suggs lock his ass in a cage.
I swear, the man has the aura of a microwave that’s been unplugged. He’ll drop 30 in a random Tuesday game vs. the Hornets, and suddenly everyone on r/NBA is calling him “Baby Kawhi” (minus the defense, the handles, the rebounds, and the will to live). But then the next week? 6 points, 2 fouls, and a turnover in a blowout loss where he looks like he’s running in quicksand.
And don’t even get me started on the “3-and-D” label. The D is just vibes. He gets cooked by every athletic wing in the league. The 3? He’ll hit one pull-up stepback a game that makes you think he’s Kobe, then brick four wide-open corner threes in a row.
So, AITA for thinking he’s just “fine”? Like, a slightly above-average rotation guy who the Spurs are desperately trying to convince us is the second coming because Wembanyama needs someone to throw the ball to in 2027? Because I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. He’s the human equivalent of a “low-usage efficiency” tweet that doesn’t pass the eye test. Change my mind.
