In some games, yes! PG De'Aaron Fox 6'3 SG Stephon Castle 6'6 SF Harrison Barnes 6'8 PF Victor Wembanyama 7'4 C Luke Kornet 7'2.
They will start together according to Jedi plans; the Force is strong with these two. Beware the CB4 Lockdown combo; TSA ALERT – SA is a No Fly Zone. 50W season. Drink healthy my friend.
Luke is soooo underrated! YES….Wemby likes to shoot 3's…and you can never have enough rebounding! Our forward positions are mediocre….that's why I'm expecting a consolidation trade by Feb!
It sounds good on the surface but they should not play them together because opponents will adjust and find a way to get 1 or both in foul trouble , we know the NBA in today version is soft and Tickie Tack fouls will be an issue watching last nights preseason game if there both in the game at the same time spacing will not be an issue DURING THE GAME IN CERTAIN STRETCHES yes play them together but no more than 10 minutes.
BOTH FOX AND CASTLE WILL BE Integral Parts to this team collectively.
Man, I'm at odds with some of our spurs players, if Johnson, Julian and others had any passing abilities they would create for Wemby on the drive, I saw Wemby open so many times again, with Johnson and others forcing a tough shot and missing. This is Wemby's team, his shot down low is way better than anyone else in the league, our players need to get on board with that if we are going to take a step to the playoffs this year.
Luke Kornet's career high in mpg was last year at 18.6. If Wemby plays 35ish, that leaves about 13 minutes of backup minutes for Luke and another 5 or 6 of overlap with both on the court.
We could have 2 experiments occurring at the same time. Twin Towers and the 3 guards(Fox, Vassell and Castle) back court experiments. Better rim protection and peripheral defense. High grade transition offense. Bismack, Sochan, Barnes, Champagne/Keldon and Harper on the second unit. I am worried about Olynyk's soft defense. Just saw a video where Fox dunked on him.
Maybe just play them together situationally.
If the other team is trying to run double bigs.
PRE-SEASON: Fox is out, so yeah! Starting: Castle, Vassell, Barnes, Wemby, Kornet. Then Olynyk or Sochan comes in for whoever rests first. Once Fox is back, against most teams, I'm thinking Kornet will come in more as 'backup', instead of the twin-towers lineup.
