Spurs' one glaring weakness makes next roster move obvious

The San Antonio Spurs are going to be pretty good this year. If they had more than two players who I can confidently say will be above-average 3-point shooters, they could be great. After finishing No. 20 in 3-point percentage last season, the Spurs added Dylan Harper in the draft, who shot 33.3% from deep at Rutgers, and Luke Kornet, who shot 0.00% from 3-point last season in Boston.

Both of those additions are awesome for different reasons, but none of those reasons are outside shooting. That's why a trade for a shooter seems inevitable at some point this season; if the Spurs are in the mix for a top-six seed as winter rolls around, adding a 3-point specialist for a future pick seems like a no-brainer.

Who are going to be the worst teams in the league? Brooklyn? Utah? Charlotte? Start scouting those teams for potential trade targets in a few months. Or don't. I can't tell you to watch those teams in good conscious.

Anyway, those two Spurs I'm confident will shoot over league-average are Harrison Barnes and Devin Vassell, for the record. Victor Wembanyama could certainly make a leap to an above-average gunner too — him getting up to 35% on over 8 attempts in his second season was already pretty notable, and nothing that guy does will surprise me anymore.

Spurs are a versatile, talented team with not much shooting

This team will be intriguing; there's balance pretty much everywhere, upside on both ends of the floor, high-level passing at multiple positions... and no consistent shooting everywhere. How does a team of this makeup look on a night-to-night basis? They're not going to shoot themselves out of games because they're not going to shoot very much to begin with. Although that will make comeback wins tougher to come by, it also means the Spurs' floor is still pretty high each night.

It starts in the backcourt, which is massively talented (and fast) but won't draw defenses out to the perimeter much... at all. De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper are all dynamic guards who thrive in transition and fly by defenders with ease. But if defenses back up and dare them all to shoot, the offense could suddenly get pretty limited.

That's why a movement shooter will be the clear next move for this team, whenever it may come. It probably won't be before the start of the year, as I'm sure the decision-makers want to see how this unit looks first before shaking things up. But a month or two into the season, if the shooting really does hover around the bottom-ten of the league like it did last year, I bet Pop starts making some calls. Think Marco Belinelli would consider a comeback?
