To kick things off, we asked the staff to simply grade the San Antonio Spurs’ offseason.
Kendall Garriss: All in all, the San Antonio Spurs deserve a well-rounded B for their offseason efforts. The Spurs entered the summer with a few essential needs that had to be addressed, most notably bolstering the wing position to complement their assortment of young guards.
Despite the flashes he showcased during the Summer League, I’m still not completely convinced selecting Luka Samanic was the right choice with the 19th pick in the draft. The jury is still out, but Gonzaga’s Brandon Clarke, who took home Summer League MVP honors as well as a Summer League Championship with the Memphis Grizzlies, was one of many prospects still available by the time the Spurs were on the clock.
