With the Spurs acquiring so much young talent over the last several seasons, that definitely means they'll have to spend so much money in just one year. Will they be able to afford Wembanyama? Also, if the Spurs don't start winning, will Wembanyama stay?
This is probably a tough one to answer, but here it goes. What are the odds Stephon Castle continues to start once Jeremy Sochan returns? Honestly been pretty impressed with how well he has played as a starter. He's making threes at a solid rate over the last couple of games, and the spacing just seems a little better out there with him.
10 games into the season, have you noticed any sets or plays emerging as go-tos for the Spurs? Efficient regular-season offenses often generate easy 'system' buckets. The Spurs of the early-to-mid-aughts got a lot of these, but the current iteration doesn't seem to.
This is an awesome question! And I think the answer will actually surprise you quite a bit! To be fair, we've had three games go by since you first posed the question! Thanks!
Malaki Branham is shooting 60% on non-corner threes on 2.8 attempts per game. Does it continue and do the Spurs have the room to use him with Castle, Champganie, Vassell, and Johnson on the roster? Overall thoughts?

Appreciate the questions Smayan! I'll definitely hit on at least one of them tonight!

Great question! I'll do my best to answer this based on what we've seen so far! This is gonna be a tough one!

Love this question Matt! I've compiled every play and action they've run this season, and they definitely have a favorite!
Why do you think Wemby is spending less time in the paint than last spring, when we saw him dominate that area. Is it a spacing issue?

Why has Zach been playing less minutes if his 3PT% has been better this year albeit on small volume?
This is another good one Romualdo! I'll squeeze it in, because I think it goes much deeper than just three-point percentage!
Thx Noah! I’ve been curious why Bassey hasn’t gotten additional time since Collins’s range hasn’t been utilized so far.

Love the Branham question! Let's dig into it! Thanks Jacob!
I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on Chris Paul’s performance and the impact he has had on the team.
