What happened
Spurs observers said Carter Bryant looks calmer, defends with less reaching, and has shown more confidence as a shooter, including 6-for-12 from three in preseason play.
They also said Tarris Reed is making a case for opening-night rotation minutes, even if some still expect him to begin behind Luke Kornet as a backup center option.
San Antonio’s forward mix and backup-center pecking order still look unsettled. The three-guard starting group may hold, but Reed could pressure Kornet for a bigger role if bigger lineups are needed.
