The San Antonio Spurs are officially treating the NBA regular season like a laboratory experiment.
According to Underdog NBA, San Antonio is rolling out a starting five of De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, and Victor Wembanyama on Wednesday.
"Lineup alert: Spurs will start Fox, Harper, Castle, Vassell, Wembanyama on Wednesday."
That is four perimeter players and a 7-foot-4 cheat code. For context, most teams are thrilled to have two guys who can initiate an offense without panicking. The Spurs are deploying four dynamic ball-handlers at once just to see how fast they can make opposing defenses tap out.
The 5-2 Spurs are throwing this chaotic unit on the floor against the Dallas Mavericks. You have Fox pushing the pace, rookie Dylan Harper adding 18.3 points and 5.3 assists a night, plus Castle and Vassell locking down the wings.
Then there is Wembanyama, who is currently averaging 25.7 points and 4.0 blocks while basically just existing as a human eclipse in the paint.
If you are looking at the prop markets for this Texas showdown, you are basically throwing darts blindfolded. Fox is going to want to run the floor at lightspeed, but Wembanyama is always a threat to accidentally log a 30-point triple-double while barely breaking a sweat.
We will find out quickly if this small-ball chaos can hold up against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks. If this four-guard experiment actually clicks, the rest of the Western Conference is going to need a support group.
