The best and the worst of the Spurs’ preseason so far

Pounding The Rock writers analyzed the San Antonio Spurs' preseason performances ahead of their final exhibition game. Contributors Marilyn Dubinski, Mark Barrington, Devon Birdsong, and Jeje Gomez highlighted Carter Bryant and rookie Tarris Reed as the team's most impressive standouts, praising Bryant's shooting confidence and Reed's readiness to contribute immediately to the big-man rotation.

The roundtable expressed minor concerns regarding inconsistent play, blown leads, and defensive schemes involving new three-guard lineups with Victor Wembanyama. However, the panel broadly agreed that the Spurs are unlikely to significantly shake up their core regular-season rotation under head coach Mitch Johnson before opening day.
