All offseason, many saw the Spurs as a team that would live or die by the hands of Victor Wembanyama. What they didn't realize is how awesome the Spurs bench is, and we got full proof of that last night against the Pelicans.
The Silver and Black bench mob is constructed of several players who could be starters on different teams. Whether it's rookie Dylan Harper, who may get his opportunity soon, or Luke Kornet, the perfect role-playing center, the Spurs have all the right pieces. While many doubted whether this group could stand firm without their leader, they came to play on Friday night.
