Young Spurs have the potential to wreak havoc on defense

From the early 2000s until just recently, the San Antonio Spurs have consistently been one of the best defensive teams in the league. They took a step back with the loss of Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green but were still able to play passable defense in the first season without two of their best wing defenders.
