Lamelo: 20 minutes, 2-10 shooting, 5 turnovers, 6 fouls.

Fox again the stabilizing force when Minn kept threatening to make a run.

Luke 7 rebounds (4 offensive) in 14 minutes.

Has Castle ever started and not scored before?

Rough night for Castle, who was questionable due to a migraine. Harper and Fox picked up the slack.

Harper finished with 25 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists in 39 minutes; Fox 22/8/7 in 35 minutes.

The Spurs scare their opponents on the court, but this Halloween yard display in San Antonio is sure to give trick or treaters a thrill (and yes, Wemby really is that tall). It also features the Coyote and a Western Conference graveyard. 👻🏀 pic.twitter.com/EvDO8EvEsu

You could tell Harper was feeling it better. Very nice to see.

I get that Goober wasn't playing, but we did win the rebounding war. Seven players with at least 7 rebounds and nine offensive rebounds from our bench.

Not the cleanest game we have played, but nice to see us putting it together a bit. Victor and Harper shot well and Carter went 2-3.

Interesting to see a breakdown of how the refs are better enforcing the rules this year.

Full segment.

It was a good interview.

I had wanted Yaxel a couple years ago when we took Carter Bryant, but he pulled out of the draft to take the NIL money because he was expected to drop out of the lottery.

6 games in, he is shooting 52/41/74 with 22p/7r/4 assists and a steal. His mouth will get him in trouble, but he's leading the way for ROY right now. I thought he was a high floor, lower ceiling role player that would be the like 15/7 type role player we would need, but he is actually showing all star potential right off the bat.

I havent had a chance to actually watch them this season. Its just been ESPN gamecast (play by play) and it seems like every time he does play he quickly racks up rebounds and blocks in the little mins he's getting

He plays aggressively? Tonight he had 7 rebounds in 7 mins and a block. He played very similar last week against the Kings

Yeah, Yaxel looks like the steal of the draft so far. Still has to prove he can be this good consistently, but early returns are that he's exactly the kind of wing player every team covets and he slipped all the way to 11. Obviously his age played into that, but still kind of hard to believe that teams took risks on developmental projects with big holes in their games like Brown and Acuff rather than a mostly finished player in Yaxel.

I think the Spurs will regret not moving up for either Yaxel or Morez because of how hard it is to find versatile wings at that size.

---

I think the teams that took those players are far away. Brooklyn and Sac need to hit a grand slam. Yaxel's chance at 24 being a grand slam was slim. Yaxel's chance at being a good role player wing was good, but that means ****all when you have Sacramento's roster. I think that's why the Spurs took swings on guys like Sochan, Primo and Branham. They needed that grand slam.

I agree that the rationale was that Acuff and Brown have potential upside, but that's mostly because they both had huge questions about what they actually are.

Acuff is small and plays less defense that Trae Young. And Brown only gave us 21 games of inefficient scoring in college.

Since I love draft hypotheticals. I think if I was Washington I would have traded 1/1 to GS for 11 plus 2 unprotected 1sts and 2 swaps

That wouldn't have be enough, I don't think. I also felt like AJ fits their team. IDK what they are doing giving Trae that contract. I would have tried to trade down to pick up more assets, but not that far down. Utah, Memphis, or Chicago. Get a top 4 and some picks.

Moving down 3 spots, picking up a couple picks, and still getting Cam Boozer? Makes a lot of sense.

Easy win despite the starters shooting 4 of 17 from three. Defense really locked the hapless Jazz down.

Nice to give the bench some extended run! Reed certainly looks the part as a Kornet starter kit and future replacement!

If Q's knees hold up (which may be a big "if") he'll be ahead of Reed.

Fox is playing outstanding. He is taking care of the ball, setting up his teammates, deferring to his teammates and taking high quality shots. He is taking the 5th most shots on the team. He's playing the exact role we need him to play and I hope he plays at this level all season. Now, is that a max salary level, perhaps not, but who cares? It's the best he has looked since he has been with the Spurs in my opinion and I hope he keeps it up.

Kornet is a great regular season backup and a luxury to have. He definitely was exposed pretty hard late in the playoffs so having Reed develop for the faster, switching teams is going to be great for this team. Last night was a good step, but the overall non-Wemby minutes still need to get better from a +- perspective. I think Harris coming back will help there.

I'm squarely in the "not holding my breath" category. If it does, I'll be ecstatic.
