The San Antonio Spurs are off to an excellent 6-2 start to the NBA season, although their schedule has been fairly easy to kick off the year. Nonetheless, Victor Wembanyama looks like an MVP candidate, and the Spurs are the team to beat.

This summer, their only major roster move was signing free agent Tobias Harris. A calf strain has kept him out so far, so San Antonio is playing with the exact same lineup as last season.

Well, almost the same lineup. Julian Champagnie has been demoted to the bench in favor of Dylan Harper, giving the Spurs three on-ball downhill threats to pair with Wembanyama and Devin Vassell. While the Spurs' starting five does have a +28 net rating, their bench has taken a step back.

Despite the success, the Spurs have been urged to undo the move.

On almost every team in the NBA, Harper would be a starter. Every other team, though, doesn't have two other star point guards. If Harper were to be moved to the bench, he would have a lot more room to take over as an offensive leader, paving the way for a once-elite second unit.

"The choice to move 20-year-old Dylan Harper from super sixth man to starter and pair him with 22-year-old Stephon Castle and 28-year-old De’Aaron Fox was driven by a need to relieve pressure in their crowded backcourt," explained The Athletic's Sam Amick. "It may ultimately work, not only on the court but as a workaround of sorts to the prospect of potentially trading Fox, that doesn’t mean there isn’t risk involved. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, as they say."

For now, though, Fox doesn't seem to be on the trade block. As long as there are three guards on the roster, one of them should play with the second unit. If the Spurs do insist on experimenting, though, now is the time.

“To me, I feel like they know they are so good that they have enough time to kind of try to figure it out, but they are aware it’s not perfect,” an unnamed scout told Amick. “But especially with (the Oklahoma City Thunder’s) injuries now, they have enough room to see — 40, 50 games — to see if it’s working. To me, it doesn’t look good. I think they had perfect chemistry last year and were dynamic with their lineups. It never made sense offensively (to make that change).”

Fans have been vocal about moving Harper back to the bench, not due to any of his shortcomings, but simply to balance the team's stardom. For now, though, expect Mitch Johnson to hold the course.
