ESPN analyst Kenny Smith has raised doubts about the San Antonio Spurs' ability to maintain their current level of success with a starting backcourt featuring De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper. Smith questioned whether the three-guard lineup can be sustained over the course of a season.
The comments were made on November 5, 2026, as the Spurs experiment with an unconventional perimeter-oriented rotation. Fox, Castle, and Harper each bring playmaking and scoring ability, but concerns remain about defensive size and long-term viability.
