Entering his sixth year with the San Antonio Spurs, the expectations were high for Devin Vassell. Without any additions at small forward over the offseason, we're looking at you, Kevin Durant; the Spurs were left with Vassell as their lone option at the position.

But as time wore on, expected progression began to halt. After his 2024-25 campaign was riddled with injuries, many expected a big bounce-back season this year. Thus far, Devin has failed to live up to the hype.
