Spurs plan to use trio of guards this season despite concerns

Summary

The San Antonio Spurs are set to utilize a combination of guards this season, featuring De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and Stephon Castle. Despite a troubling -27.5 net rating when they played together last season, both Harper and Castle have improved as shooters. These developments come alongside the addition of Tobias Harris and the presence of Victor Wembanyama on the roster. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson faces the challenge of maximizing minutes for the younger players while managing Fox's role. A potential shift towards a triple-guard lineup could be employed in close games.
