Spurs show off depth in third straight win without Victor Wembanyama

Missing 2023 No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama, last year's No. 4 pick Stephon Castle and 2025 No. 2 pick Dylan Harper, the San Antonio Spurs are showing they have talent all over their roster. Even if it doesn't have the same draft pedigree.

San Antonio defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 135-126, behind big performances from two undrafted players. Julian Champagnie hit five three-pointers and scored 20 points, while rookie David Jones Garcia keyed two big Spurs runs with 12 points, six assists and three steals in his first significant playing time.

The Spurs are showing they're more than just Victor Wembanyama

Champagnie has started 98 games for the Spurs in the last three seasons, despite the Spurs continually adding more high-profile talent. He's got good size at 6-foot-8 and can defend multiple positions, while shooting 39% on threes. The Spurs have other talented defenders, but not many who can also space the floor like Champagnie and move the ball without needing shots.

Jones Garcia was a Summer League standout for San Antonio, averaging 21.3 points and making half of his three-pointers in Las Vegas. He shot 38% on threes in his final college season with Memphis, and like Champagnie, he's a solid defender with good size.

In the fourth quarter, after the Hawks got within two points, Jones Garcia grabbed a rebound and fired a long pass to, who else, Champagnie, for an easy bucket.
