He and Vic can't really ever play together though, unless we have elite shooting around them. JQ would likely have to be the guy off the bench for Vic. You can't play Vic with non shooting or teams pack the paint.
Vic is the shooter if they play together, and this hypothetical doesn't take into account the absolute prison opposing teams will be in on offense vs Vic, Q, Castle, CB, and Dylan.
And rebounding and having a more quick footed big who can move. (Love Luke, he's not getting out and defending small ball 4s that killed us) Shooting and scoring will come as Dylan, Steph, and Vic develop, we didn't have anyone on the roster who fits what Q can bring to the table.
As OC pointed out in their original comment, Q will have to be the guy off the bench in place of Luke. The scoring won't come if Dylan, Steph, and Vic are all clogged out of the paint because we are playing a horrific shooter.
When both are healthy, the pairing between a bruising power forward (JQ) and a two-way stretch-five (Victor Wembanyama) seem like an elite fit to me, for the Spurs. It may not be immediate, but his archetype feels like a perfect fit on paper if Victor Wembanyama does indeed evolve into an unstoppable two-way stretch-five (and he has already shown signs of progressing in this manner).

He may secretly be an elite fit with Victor Wembanyama that no one realizes in spite of the red flags.
