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.
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.
