The Spurs’ group of teens, incidentally, are five of the NBA’s 17 youngest players who made rosters or got two-way deals to start the season, the Associated Press reported. Joseph’s and Dominick Barlow, a 6-foot-9 inch big man formerly of the Overtime Elite development program, will try to improve their games.įree agent signees Isaiah Roby and center Gorgui Dieng, along with guard Romeo Langford (who was acquired in the Derrick White trade) round out the official roster.Īnd an interesting note: the Spurs’ opening day roster has five total players (Joshua Primo, Blake Wesley, Dominick Barlow, Malaki Branham and Jeremy Sochan) who are just 19 years old as the 2022-2023 season begins. The team has signed two two-way players to contracts, both of whom will see some G-League games in Austin. The team’s other two 2022 first-round draft picks, guards Malaki Branham (who played well this preseason) and Blake Wesley, will also be pushing to see the floor as well. Josh Primo, a second-year 6-foot-6 guard out of Alabama, is expected to play a pivotal role and will likely see a huge increase in production. Guard Josh Richardson, forwards Doug McDermott and Keita Bates-Diop and center Zach Collins all may see heavy minutes until the youth on the roster gets up to speed. This season’s bench unit is an interesting mix, comprised of both the team’s oldest veterans, along with some of their youngest players and most recent draft selections. The lineup should again be stout defensively, but questions remain offensively after trading away last season’s leading scorer and only All-Star, Dejounte Murray.
