2023-2024 Spurs starting 5

[Death In June]

Is it out of the realm of possibility that they pursue Fred VanVleet as an option at PG?

Only if he has gotten over himself. Didn't he dis Pop in the Raptors championship parade?

I don't think that's the type of player you want to blow your cap space on. Not that he's bad, but the Spurs need a ceiling raiser more than a steady floor general right now imo.

[TrueSpursFan]

Might be unrealistic long term but pop played Sochan at PG some this year

PG- Sochan
SG- Vassell
SF- Keldon
PF- Wemby
C- Collins

This is exactly what I imagine the staring 5 would be. Position-less basketball is the future and there’s a reason why the spurs tried Sochan at PG. Just get the ball past half court and run your sets.

i sure hope so

we dont need fat devonte graham

raptors fans absolutely hate him as he's just a chucker

[heyheymymy]

Jones/Graham/Wesley
Vassell/Branham
Johnson/McDermott/[Champagnie]
Wembanyama/Sochan/Mamukelashvili/[Barlow]
Zollins/Bassey

13. 2023 NBA Free Agent
14. (2023 SA #33 Pick)
15. (2023 TOR #44 Pick) / or open slot if Spurs sell the TOR pick

16. & 17. [Two-Way players in above depth chart]

18. [Two-Way] slot #3 to be filled

[heyheymymy]

wish we could experiment with:

Vassell
Johnson
Sochan
Wembanyama
Zollins

Potential death squad but obvs has its vulnerabilities/reasons why it would not work

rather have austin reeves who's a better fit and younger at better cost

[heyheymymy]

I think:

PG: Jones
SG: Vassell
SF: Johnson

might be kinda locked in barring new personnel incoming and it is just a matter of either Zollins or Sochan off the bench:

PF: Sochan
C: Wembanyama

PF: Wembanyama
C: Zollins

or I could see them actually bringing Wembanyama off the bench at the beginning of his first season to ease him in and then it would be the classic starting bigs:

PF: Sochan
C: Zollins

Could also totally see Sochan shifting down to SF realistically. Which would push Johnson to the bench.

I think Sochan at PG is less likely, but would be crazy if Jerm unlocked ball handling enough to warrant that. Feels like that was a tank experiment and not too viable outside of extreme situationals at least for now.

But Sochan at PG would solve every problem, would not push anyone to the bench and that would be a definite death squad lineup:

Sochan
Vassell
Johnson
Wembanyama
Zollins

[SPURt]

I can’t wait to see Sochan/Vassell/KJ/Wemby/Collins

hard pass on 38 yr old CP3. Absolutely no.

[Mr. Body]

Sochan guarding PGs will probably be okay on switches. Full games could be a problem.

[BackHome]

The Falkers lost I am staying up late ragging on all my Laker friends- Number 1 pick and my most hated team loosing what a night it don’t get better then tonight

[Philthemage]

I could see us getting fournier perhaps.

I see Pop still being a mad scientist we still need to find out where we stand with all 3 rookies from this year. So add potentially another 3 rookies and it’s not about who starts but more so playing time. And I don’t see Wemb getting a lot of minutes his first year they going to bring him along slow

[TeKu]

This makes some sense actually, Knicks want to clear space, and could help Wemby acclimate.

[Mugen]

i think there's little chance Keldon moves to the bench tbh. Sochan is more likely and probably the best move while Victor bulks up.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

fuk ya mad scientist pop thru december

[scott]

Wonder if the Spurs will go try to re-sign Poetl after all the talk about how they envisioned him playing next to Victor.

I think this would be hilarious, but no team would ever trade with us again (unless Jak just flat out refused to sign with TOR)

[Das Texan]

I really would be curious if Pop does more with that Sochan as Point Guard experiment he was doing at times last year...

[couchman]

C- Collins 6'11"
PF- Wemby 7'4"
SF - Keldon 6'5"
SG - Vassell 6'5"
PG - Sochan 6'8"

That's four players who can shoot the three so that Sochan can stir the drink

[Philthemage]

If celts don't win, and jaylen brown ends up u happy, maybe we could trade Vassell / keldon, some future picks.

A lineup of fournier / brown / Sochan / wembanyama would be sick

[Silverheart80]

PG: Sochan
SG: Vassell
SF: Keldon
PF: Wemby
C: Collins

That positionless roster design I've been advocating? This is what I'm talking about, sans the position designations. This would be my starting lineup if the season started today. Collins relieves VW from the pounding in the paint. VW becomes the most terrifying help defender ever. Devin and Jeremy are now modern point forwards. Drop the traditional short point guard from the design. Play a lineup like this and we're not just hoping to keep up with where the league is headed with big playmakers spreading the floor, sharing, cutting, and shooting threes. We're leading the charge for the next era.

[offset formation]

Definitely don't see Wemby as a 5, so I think you're lineup is probably pretty close to what we see to start the season. Maybe Wemby at the 3 and Sochan at the 4.

Wemby/Sochan/Keldon could be a pretty nice 3 man rotation at the 3 and 4 tbh. Obviously one of them will need to come off the bench, wonder if Keldon would be willing to accept that.

Is that their small ball lineup?? lol

[Rocalcio]

rather have austin reeves who's a better fit and younger at better cost

He isn’t a PG

[Rocalcio]

Not a PG either

[EricB]

Collins
wemby
sochan

bring Keldon off the bench,
