San Antonio Spurs' star Victor Wembanyama has commented on the team's new three-guard lineup, which debuted with De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper. The trio, supported by Devin Vassell and Wembanyama, faced some early struggles during a preseason game against the Phoenix Suns, scoring only three points in the first five minutes and shooting just 1-of-10 from the field.
However, Wembanyama believes the issues stemmed from missed opportunities rather than a flawed strategy. He stated, "I felt like we were trying to do the right things in the beginning, but we scored so few points. When we clicked, it really clicked." Once the unit settled down, the starters performed much better, with Wembanyama leading with 19 points and four blocks, Castle contributing 18 points at a perfect free-throw shooting rate, Fox adding nine points and four assists, and Harper chipping in nine points and six rebounds.
Wembanyama expressed his confidence in the lineup's potential for the regular season, saying, "Just as confident as last year. Nobody got worse."
