The San Antonio Spurs' season is still young, but backup center Luke Kornet may already be feeling the pressure of his potential replacement, Tarris Reed Jr.
Cal Durrett writes for Air Alamo that San Antonio Spurs backup center Luke Kornet should be feeling pressure from rookie Tarris Reed Jr. following a slow start to the season. Kornet has struggled in his early outings behind Victor Wembanyama, notably failing to contain Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun when Wembanyama ran into foul trouble.
Durrett argues that Reed Jr.'s elite rebounding ability and college experience make him an NBA-ready alternative if Kornet's production does not improve. With Kornet's scoring, rebounding, and shooting efficiency down, the writer suggests head coach Mitch Johnson has viable depth options to replace him in the rotation.
