Victor Wembanyama and a soft schedule are bailing out a Spurs offense that can’t shoot the ball

Air Alamo's Jahlil Williams argues that Victor Wembanyama's exceptional play and an easy schedule are masking major perimeter shooting deficiencies for the San Antonio Spurs. Despite riding a six-game winning streak, the Spurs shot just 5-for-36 from three-point range in a recent win over the Dallas Mavericks, with San Antonio ranking 24th across the league from beyond the arc at 32.2%.

Williams highlights widespread shooting slumps among key rotation players, including Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, and Carter Bryant. While recognizing solid contributions from Julian Champagnie and Harrison Barnes, the analysis warns that the Spurs cannot reach their championship aspirations or challenge elite opponents unless their outside shooting improves substantially.
