What to expect from the San Antonio Spurs this season

The San Antonio Spurs commence another 82-game crusade as they host the Charlotte Hornets for their season opener on Wednesday night. Gregg Popovich established player development as the central goal as they dive headfirst into the unfamiliar territory of a rebuild. Nonetheless, committed fans can still look forward to a thrilling brand of fast-paced hoops.

Minutes, shots, and touches will be up for grabs, but who will make the most of their opportunities?
