The Spurs have better options than Devin Vassell at power forward, with Tobias Harris and Julian Champagnie offering more natural fits for the starting lineup.
Air Alamo's Jahlil Williams argues that the San Antonio Spurs are overcommitting to small-ball lineups by planning to start 6-foot-5 Devin Vassell at power forward. San Antonio's intended opening unit alongside Victor Wembanyama includes guards De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper, leaving the squad potentially undersized on the glass against larger NBA opponents.
Williams contends that the Spurs should instead rely on Tobias Harris once he recovers from a left calf strain. In the meantime, the writer suggests that starting 6-foot-7 Julian Champagnie would provide better size and rebounding against big frontcourts like the Oklahoma City Thunder.
