Unlocking the Spurs’ Secret: What’s Fueling San Antonio’s Unstoppable Rise in the NBA?

Unlocking the Spurs' Secret: What’s Fueling San Antonio’s Unstoppable Rise in the NBA?

The positional size of the Spurs’ guards — Fox stands 6-foot-3 with a 6-foot-6.5-inch wingspan, Castle’s 6-6 with a 6-9 wingspan, Vassell’s 6-5 with a 6-10 wingspan, Harper’s 6-5 with a 6-10.5-inch wingspan — helps mitigate the typical defensive concerns that might come with rolling three-guard looks. (So, too, does the looming back-line presence of Wembanyama — and, for that matter, reserve center Luke Kornet, who’s been aces in his first season in Texas.) And the offensive benefits of virtually always having multiple high-level ball-handlers capable of attacking the rim, moving without the ball and facilitating on the go have far outweighed any of those drawbacks.
