The San Antonio Spurs don't have nearly as many two-guards as they do ball handlers, but there are some solid players who fit such a mold. Here they are, and what they could provide next season.
shooting guard unit isn't quite as prominent — or plentiful — as their point guards, there isn't any denying the impact having a strong shooting-heavy guard.
"We tried to kind of convince him that he sells himself short if he just thinks of himself as a shooter," the coach explained. "He has so much more."With Vassell at the helm, the Spurs have a strong scoring option who doubles as a leader, especially if he's to become Victor Wembanyama's right-hand man. But who else sits beneath him?It isn't always the case to have a player solely fit the shooting guard mold.
Malaki Branham, however, fits the mold of a true shooting guard more-so than a point guard. He's shifty and can attack the rim, but where his skillset differs is his shooting ability and ceiling.Last season, Branham finished third in 3-point shooting percentage of players returning to the team — first and second going to Vassell and Champagnie — and while he might not be the most voluminous shooter next year, his high mark provides the Spurs with a good option.
