After a surprisingly strong preseason in which the San Antonio Spurs went 5-0, there are increased expectations heading into the season. The Spurs hope to make the playoffs for the first time in more than five years and have the talent to do so.
Even so, a big question mark surrounding their team is a lack of shooting. San Antonio's need for shooting opens up a potential lane for second-year forward Riley Minix to earn minutes this season.
Although he barely played during the preseason due to injury, Minix is among the best shooters on the team.
