Murray functioned as Austin’s primary table-setter and transition initiator, with the freedom to create off the dribble while also pressuring passing lanes. San Antonio’s development staff viewed the assignment as a way to put the rookie in repeated situations with the ball in his hands, and his 6.2 assists and 2.0 steals reflected that unusually broad responsibility.

Forbes operated as Austin’s featured perimeter scorer, hunting shots from deep while also being asked to handle more point-guard duties than his natural scoring role suggested. Gregg Popovich specifically wanted him to gain experience with the ball in his hands, and that developmental freedom helped turn the undrafted guard into a high-volume offensive focal point. MySA |

Jefferson supplied Austin with a physical interior presence, combining post scoring, offensive rebounding and rim protection while carrying a substantial share of the frontcourt workload. His selection to the 2017 D-League All-Star Game came after he had established himself as Austin’s leading producer in both points and rebounds. San Antonio Spurs feature |

Johnson gave Austin a veteran scoring option on the wing who could attack mismatches rather than functioning solely as a spot-up shooter. His return to the organization in March came after experience overseas, and the late-season role placed another proven offensive creator alongside Austin’s younger Spurs-assigned guards.

Bertans immediately stretched the floor from the power-forward spot, with his shooting gravity forcing defenses to account for him well beyond the paint. His four Austin appearances were primarily developmental, but the assignment showed why San Antonio viewed the 6-foot-10 Latvian as a rare shooting threat for a big man. ESPN |

Thompson brought a complementary scoring profile built around spacing and efficient perimeter play, but his Austin stint also showed more rebounding involvement than a pure shooting specialist.

Diallo’s value centered on energy around the rim: he attacked offensive glass opportunities, finished inside and provided genuine shot-blocking activity. His 2.1 blocks in Austin were particularly notable for a rookie still learning the professional game, while the repeated assignments reflected New Orleans’ effort to give him meaningful developmental minutes.

Garcia played as a compact interior scorer who could finish through contact and punish smaller defenders around the basket. The season’s usage was more complementary than star-driven, with his lone start coming amid a long 49-game schedule, but his efficient 55.5% shooting shows how heavily his offense leaned toward high-percentage interior attempts.

Garino’s calling card was two-way wing activity rather than simply volume scoring. His defensive reputation followed him from George Washington, where he had been an All-Defensive selection, and in Austin he paired that disruptive style with enough shooting and secondary creation to become a 46-game starter before receiving an NBA call-up.

Jean-Charles worked as an athletic, mobile forward whose defensive activity and movement around the frontcourt mattered more than isolation scoring.

Eddie’s role was built around perimeter spacing and quick-trigger shooting, giving Austin a wing who could punish defenses for collapsing toward its interior scorers.

Ledbetter provided Austin with a reserve guard’s combination of shooting and ball movement, particularly valuable when the team’s NBA-assigned guards were recalled.

McCamey served as a reserve ball-handler, keeping the offense organized when the primary creators were off the floor. The modest scoring load alongside 2.1 assists points to a distributor-first role rather than a shot-creation assignment, consistent with his long professional experience at the point.

Stewart’s minutes were limited, but his 20 starts indicate that Austin used him as an early-game interior presence rather than a pure end-of-bench option. His job was largely functional: occupy the frontcourt, compete for rebounds and provide physical possessions while higher-usage scorers carried the offense. |

Thomas barely entered Austin’s regular rotation before moving on, making this more of a brief developmental stint than an established role.

Wangmene was used almost exclusively as emergency frontcourt depth, appearing in only two games and averaging two minutes. With such a small sample, contemporary independent analysis of his role is limited, so the available evidence supports describing this as a roster-depth assignment rather than a meaningful rotation role. |
