ESPN analyst Kenny Smith has raised doubts about whether the San Antonio Spurs can maintain their success with a starting backcourt featuring De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper.
Smith questioned the long-term viability of the three-guard alignment during a recent appearance, suggesting the combination may face challenges over the course of a full season.
The Spurs have deployed Fox, Castle, and Harper together in the early stages of the 2026-27 campaign, but Smith believes the lineup's effectiveness could be tested as opponents adjust.
