The San Antonio Spurs came into the season in a tough spot as their starting lineup has changed a ton from what we expected at the beginning of October.
The Spurs have adapted well at point guard as Bryn Forbes has filled in admirably for Dejounte Murray and Derrick White, but the early disappointment of Jakob Poeltl has opened up a starting job in the frontcourt.
Poeltl began the year as the starting center, but he has been benched after starting three of the first four games and it has become clear that he’s lost the trust of Gregg Popovich.
