San Antonio Spurs need to manage relentless depth at shooting guard

Heading into the 2019-2020 season, the San Antonio Spurs arguably own the deepest backcourt rotation in the NBA. Let’s not overstate it – the Spurs’ starting guard duo won’t parallel the likes of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson or Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. However, the Spurs believe the depth and talent they possess is enough to launch themselves back into the battle atop the merciless Western Conference.

Fiery 22-year-old Dejounte Murray will return from injury this season to assuredly hold down the starting point guard duties. This leaves the door open for several players to ascend into the shooting guard role, begging the question: Who are the team’s shooting guards, what can we expect from them this year and what areas do they need to improve in?
