The Spurs’ best lineup has played zero minutes together, and Tobias Harris won’t change that

Air Alamo's Jahlil Williams argues that Tobias Harris's eventual return from a left calf strain will not solve the San Antonio Spurs' early-season offensive struggles. The Spurs opened the campaign at 1-2 while starting De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper together. Williams contends that the team's primary flaw is an awkward guard rotation that fails to maintain rim pressure when the backcourt is staggered.

According to Williams, San Antonio's premier five-man unit from last season—featuring Fox, Devin Vassell, Castle, Julian Champagnie, and Victor Wembanyama—has played zero minutes together this year. The writer notes that leaving single initiators isolated on the floor disrupts the offense and causes Wembanyama to overthink, suggesting the rotation must be restructured before Harris can truly elevate the team.
