The San Antonio Express-News’ Tom Orsborn shared the following update from Spurs training camp on Wednesday:
Will Pau start or come off the bench? Will Rudy be a small-ball PF? Who is the backup PG? “We don’t have anything in stone,” Pop said. “We don’t know who our starting team is or who the first guys off the bench are going to be. That will become apparent to us as we move along.”

The uncertainty makes sense given the makeup of the roster, with an offensively limited young point guard, two scorers who also don’t exactly space the floor, and a pick-and-mix of tweener forwards, combo guards and seven-footers to slot into the other two spots (with DeMar DeRozan, Dejounte Murray, and LaMarcus Aldridge’s spots ostensibly secure).
