Heading into the 2026-27 NBA season, the biggest storyline concerning the San Antonio Spurs is the starting point guard situation. The battle (strong term!) between Dylan Harper and De'Aaron Fox is making headline after headline.

Somehow, Victor Wembanyama himself isn't the biggest area of focus. What a change of pace!

Lost in the fold, though, is the conundrum at power forward. Last season, Julian Champagnie usurped Harrison Barnes. This summer, though, the Spurs signed Tobias Harris in free agency. Harris is a bigger guy and plays with more physicality than Champagnie, although Champagnie is a better shooter and rebounder. 

At the end of the day, though, it doesn't really matter.

Last year, Champagnie shot 38.1 percent from 3-point range, better than Harris' mark of 36.8 percent. With neither Fox nor Castle being excellent shooters, having some extra range matters a lot.

Harris, however, can guard bigger players and give Wembanyama a break from banging around in the paint. 

Balancing those skill sets isn't a bad problem for Mitch Johnson to have, and Champagnie has made it clear that he won't complain, as long as the Spurs are winning.

"We can have the same starting lineup all year, or we can have five different ones," bragged Champagnie. "To me, it doesn't matter. It's not my job to figure out who's starting, who's not starting. I think as players, we're all focused on just one thing, and that's getting back to where we were last year. I don't care. Starting, not starting, I just like being here. I trust in Coach. Whatever he needs me to do is what I'm going to do. Whatever the team needs me to do is where I'm going to be. That's how I'm moving about it."

This summer, Champagnie was re-signed to a three-year, $45 million contract. Before that, he was on a non-guaranteed four-year, $12 million deal. For the first time in his career, Champagnie is set for life. As if that wasn't enough, he's playing on a winning team.

Remember, before heading to San Antonio, he was a two-way guy on the 76ers, playing in only 17 games. Before that, he spent three seasons on a middling St. John's team in college. 

He doesn't need to hear the public address announcer say his name before every game. All signs point to Champagnie having the best season of his life, both on and off the court.
