After a highly successful stint starting for the San Antonio Spurs, Luke Kornet is now back with the second unit. Even so, he has clearly proven that he is a starting-caliber NBA player. That makes the team's decision to lock him up on a four-year deal for roughly $10 million annually all the more brilliant.
He was brought in to help solve San Antonio's backup center issues and has done that and then some. He has successfully backed up Wembanyama, and when he's filled in as a starter with the silver and black, they haven't missed a beat, especially offensively.
