Three games into the preseason, the San Antonio Spurs have already shown us quite a lot about what we can expect from them this year. Victor Wembanyama is playing with the ball in his hands, and Dylan Harper looks even stronger and smoother than he did as a breakout rookie last season. The Spurs seem intent on starting the three-guard lineup of Harper, De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle, but Fox hasn’t played yet and newly-acquired wing Tobias Harris is also on the shelf with an injury. As San Antonio uses the preseason to evaluate talent up and down the roster, we’re seeing good signs from veterans like Harrison Barnes and Julian Champagnie as well as flashes of potential from rookies like Ja’Kobi Gillespie and Tarris Reed Jr.Hosts Tom Petrini, Aaron Blackerby and Zach Montana break down the biggest storylines of the preseason so far, and what it all means for the Spurs as they get ready to start the 2026-27 campaign.Is the three-guard lineup really happening, and how will it work?What’s the best version of Wemby?What role players are popping the most?

He spoke about how the wound from the Finals still hasn’t closed, and how the bar is even higher this year. We asked him about starting this season as a title contender, with the target squarely on this team’s back.Tobias Harris is the new addition to the roster, and in his first appearance before San Antonio’s assembled media he broke down how he fits and why he came: to win a title.Dylan Harper is a huge talent who could start for most teams, and he made some waves in a brand new GQ story where he joked (or serioused) about wanting to start. Harper spoke about his ambitions and competitive edge, and everyone from him to De’Aaron Fox and Mitch Johnson seem to agree it’s all a good problem to have.
