Three Spurs starters are down about four points in true shooting from last season, which is why San Antonio’s top-10 offense doesn’t pass the eye test.
Air Alamo's Jahlil Williams argues that De'Aaron Fox's career-best scoring efficiency is masking major offensive regression among fellow San Antonio Spurs starters early in the 2026-27 season. While Fox is posting a career-high 65.1% true shooting percentage alongside steady play from Victor Wembanyama, starting teammates Dylan Harper, Devin Vassell, and Stephon Castle have all seen their true shooting percentages drop significantly compared to the prior season.
Williams contends that the Spurs' ninth-ranked offensive rating is misleading, having been inflated by blowout wins against struggling defenses like the Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks. The writer suggests San Antonio must address spacing issues and reconsider its starting rotation to sustain deep playoff ambitions.
