Dominick Barlow: Defensive Versatility
Dominick Barlow showed outstanding two-way upside with the Austin Spurs, and his impressive stint in the G League earned him a late-season promotion to the NBA. Though a 28-game sample size isn't enough to suggest Head Coach Gregg Popovich should hand him full-time rotation spot next year, he is one of the most intriguing project players to land in San Antonio since Luka Samanic.
Dominick Barlow has such intriguing physical tools on the defensive end, really hoping the Spurs invest in his long-term potential.

Though the 6-foot-9 forward went untouched in the 2022 NBA Draft, you can see why the Spurs were so quick to swoop in and sign him to a two-way contract. His combination of measurables and fluidity afford him the defensive versatility to switch onto virtually any position on the hardwood, and fans will have a chance to see how packing on muscle this summer impacts his development.
