New Commanders Head Coach Dan Quinn has a history of players following him to a new destination. Flush with cap space and a need at many positions, it can be easy to talk about the big-name free agents set to hit the market all while overlooking how important players with experience in a scheme can be for a first-year head coach. Recent memory tells a story of Washington typically overpaying players to come to town.

2.) Improvements to a historically poor defenseAdmittedly, this is a mighty low bar. Saying the Spurs ranked last in defensive rating last season would be an understatement, as they had the dubious honor of being the first NBA team to reach the 120 defensive rating threshold for a full-length season.

The preseason is well underway, and the arrival of an extraterrestrial talent, revolutionary facilities, and development from a promising young core have done little to convince anyone outside of the 2-1-0 that the San Antonio Spurs are ready to return to their winning ways. ESPN predicts the Silver and Black will finish with a league-worst 26.4 wins this season. Other outlets have set the line closer to 28 or 29 wins, not that it makes much of a difference.

3.) Better personnel across the depth chartThe Spurs didn't have the cap space to keep Reggie Bullock, give him a spot in the rotation as a reputable shooter, and flip him for assets at the trade deadline. That has been the modus operandi for the front office over the last couple of years, but it is telling that they were willing to cut him for nothing and watch him sign with a division rival. San Antonio had little leverage because they lacked the minutes to spare for Bullock.

3.) The Spurs have the potential for a lethal team defenseAfter fielding a historically poor defense last season, there is nowhere to go but up from here. Adding a 7-foot-3 Magic Eraser will work wonders to fortify the team on that end of the floor. Again, reading too much into defensive trends in the preseason is ill-advised, but the configurations of lineups we've seen point to an energetic team ready to weaponize their long wingspans.

2.) Devin Vassell is a man on a mission to secure MIPVassell's ascendence has been bubbling since the start of last season, and this preseason has done little to cool down expectations for his potential rise to stardom. The fourth-year swingman has been simply incandescent from deep, and he even drained five three-pointers in last night's matchup against the Rockets, which fueled his 25 first-half points.

The San Antonio Spurs avenged their preseason loss to the Houston Rockets from earlier this week in a 117-103 victory on Wednesday night. Preseason or not, every game is an opportunity to learn a little more about the youngest team in the NBA, especially playing the second game in a row against another rebuilding organization and in-state rival. It's crucial to avoid putting too much stock into the outcome of the contest, but we should monitor noticeable trends from the good guys.

Two preseason games in, and San Antonio Spurs rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama has already unleashed a series of unfathomable moves that are unlike anything we've ever seen in the NBA. His highlights are difficult to comprehend and downright comedic, something Miami Heat center Thomas Bryant had the chance to witness up close and personal last night.
