The Spurs have rallied after losing their first two games of the season, rattling off four wins in a row. They are starting to round into form while still having room for growth, looking like the contender their talent suggests…
Writer Jeje Gomez argues that the San Antonio Spurs should remain patient with backup center Luke Kornet despite his early-season struggles. Although San Antonio has won four consecutive games, the second unit's offensive and defensive metrics have dropped significantly when Kornet replaces starter Victor Wembanyama on the floor.
Gomez notes that the bench unit's poor performance stems largely from collective lineup issues rather than Kornet alone. Additionally, Gomez suggests rookie Tarris Reed Jr. is not an automatic upgrade, meaning head coach Mitch Johnson should wait before making an immediate rotation change.
