Julian Champagnie’s Role with the San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs rely on 6'7" Julian Champagnie for a specific role: to be a 3-and-D specialist. He has delivered the best defense fans have seen from him since joining the team. However, his shooting this season has been the weakest of his career.
Performance Highlights and Challenges
In the game against the Lakers, Champagnie showed brief flashes of potential, reminiscent of Vecna in Stranger Things, but quickly faded without posing a consistent threat.
Concerns About Shooting Efficiency
- Before the season, critics questioned whether the Spurs had enough shooting to support Victor Wembanyama and the offense.
- Early games suggested the team had sufficient shooting, but their three-point efficiency has dropped from the top ten to 15th place.
- This decline confirms earlier doubts, though there is still time to improve.
Season and Preseason Comparison
Champagnie was exceptional in the preseason, shooting 50% from three-point range, which raised hopes for a breakout year.
“Spurs Nation thought he was about to have a career year, evolving into the new-and-improved version of former Spurs fan favorite and three-time champion Danny Green.”
Despite expectations, this season he is shooting only 31% from three.
