Spurs Add Veteran Coach Billy Donovan to Mitch Johnson's Staff
Billy Donovan is headed to San Antonio as the lead assistant under head coach Mitch Johnson, Shams Charania and Pete Thamel of ESPN report, stepping onto the bench of the reigning Western Conference champions after 11 seasons as an NBA head coach. The fantasy read runs entirely through development. Donovan spent years developing guards, most memorably a young Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in Oklahoma City, and that track record is a quiet plus for San Antonio's young backcourt. Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper are the names to watch, both still ascending alongside anchors Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox. A hire like this doesn't reshuffle anyone's draft-day value on its own, but an experienced offensive voice steering Castle and Harper raises the long-term ceiling on two of the league's most promising young guards. That development curve is where the fantasy payoff lives.
