The Austin Spurs’ 2022-23 season was one of the most challenging in franchise history, as the team finished 8-24 in the regular season and placed 14th in the Western Conference. The campaign unfolded during the NBA G League’s split-season format, with Austin also posting a 5-13 record in the Showcase Cup. Under head coach Petar Božić, the Spurs fielded a young roster centered on development rather than immediate results, and growing pains were evident throughout the year.
Despite the record, the season provided important opportunities for several prospects tied to the San Antonio organization. Julian Champagnie, Dominick Barlow, Blake Wesley, and Charles Bassey all spent time in Austin, while Brandon Randolph emerged as the team’s leading scorer during the regular season. The 2022-23 Austin Spurs were not a playoff contender, but the season reflected the organization’s emphasis on evaluating and developing young talent during a period of transition for both the G League club and its NBA affiliate.

| Charles Bassey | Interior Offensive Hub (1.1) | 29.5 | High (1.2) | 25.5 | 12.3 | 2.3 | 3.8 | 115.9 | Bassey functioned as Austin’s dominant interior hub, combining deep-post scoring with active rim protection; San Antonio coverage described his move to Austin as an opportunity to get extensive offensive and defensive repetitions, while later reporting highlighted his efficiency and shot-blocking presence. San Antonio Express-News — Bassey joins Spurs organization | None |
| Alize Johnson | Frontcourt Scoring Engine (1.1) | 32.0 | High (1.2) | 20.3 | 12.1 | 3.3 | 1.1 | 97.2 | Johnson operated as a big playmaking forward rather than a stationary interior piece, with his Austin stint drawing attention for scoring, rebounding and three-point volume; San Antonio coverage specifically noted his production gave the Spurs needed frontcourt depth when injuries hit. San Antonio Express-News — Spurs make move to shore up injury-depleted frontcourt | NBA Call-Up (2022) |
| Chaundee Brown Jr. | Primary Wing Scorer (1.1) | 34.6 | High (1.2) | 20.1 | 5.1 | 1.8 | 1.9 | 76.3 | Brown supplied the wing scoring punch Austin expected from him, with his two-way background making him more than a pure scorer; the preseason G League outlook specifically identified his defensive presence alongside his added scoring touch. The NBA G League — 2022-23 Western Conference season preview | None |
| Blake Wesley | Lead Shot Creator (1.05) | 23.3 | High (1.2) | 14.7 | 1.7 | 2.0 | 2.3 | 52.2 | Wesley was being developed as a downhill creator who could pressure defenses with the ball, with San Antonio viewing Austin as a place where its young first-rounders could receive heavier developmental reps before taking on larger NBA responsibilities. Sports Illustrated — Austin Spurs development outlook | None |
| Jordan Hall | Point-Forward Connector (1.05) | 29.2 | Medium (1.1) | 11.7 | 6.3 | 3.3 | 0.8 | 51.1 | Hall’s value came from his unusual point-forward skill set: contemporary reporting emphasized that he could handle the ball or play off it, with his size helping him see passing lanes over smaller guards and operate as a primary pick-and-roll handler. Sports Illustrated — Jordan Hall signs two-way contract | NBA Call-Up (2022) |
| Jordan Murphy | Interior Rebounding Forward (1.05) | 20.8 | Medium (1.1) | 11.7 | 6.9 | 1.4 | 1.6 | 47.6 | Murphy supplied physical interior work and second-chance offense, while his ability to stretch defenses enough to attempt threes kept him from being purely a paint-bound reserve; he also produced a 13-point, 12-rebound double-double in an early Showcase Cup game. Memphis Hustle — Austin falls in overtime | None |
| Jordan Goldwire | Defensive Floor General (1.05) | 30.6 | High (1.2) | 9.7 | 3.9 | 4.5 | 1.9 | 46.2 | Goldwire served as a defensive-minded organizer who could pressure the ball while initiating offense, and his early Austin workload reflected that responsibility; in one November matchup he paired 15 points with eight rebounds and six assists. Capital City Go-Go — Goldwire acquired | None |
| Stephen Zimmerman | Veteran Interior Reserve (1.0) | 19.0 | Low (1.0) | 8.0 | 9.0 | 3.0 | 1.0 | 42.0 | Zimmerman provided a traditional low-post and rebounding option during a very brief Austin stint, with the veteran center appearing only once before being waived; his lone game produced nine rebounds and nine personal fouls. ShamSports — Stephen Zimmerman profile | None |
| Malaki Branham | Developing Three-Level Guard (1.05) | 24.0 | Medium (1.1) | 14.0 | 2.5 | 0.5 | 1.0 | 41.6 | Branham entered the Spurs system as a polished scoring guard whose offensive versatility was already apparent, but San Antonio’s reporting also highlighted his willingness to make hustle plays and create for bigs when his shot was not falling. San Antonio Express-News — Branham contributes elsewhere while searching for stroke | None |
| Jalen Adaway | Two-Way Slashing Wing (1.05) | 27.3 | Medium (1.1) | 12.5 | 2.4 | 1.5 | 1.4 | 41.1 | Adaway brought a physical scoring profile from St. Bonaventure into Austin, with his summer-to-G League transition centered on proving he could translate his downhill game and perimeter shooting against professional athletes. Sports Illustrated — Spurs and Jalen Adaway agree to Exhibit 10 contract | None |
| Tommy Kuhse | Pick-and-Roll Organizer (1.05) | 23.9 | Medium (1.1) | 9.9 | 3.3 | 3.8 | 1.3 | 40.4 | Kuhse gave Austin a steady secondary ball-handler with enough shooting threat to keep pick-and-roll possessions moving; his early Showcase role was reflected in a 16-point, nine-rebound outing against Memphis while handling significant creation duties. RealGM — Tommy Kuhse player profile | None |
| Dominick Barlow | Stretch-Four Development Piece (1.05) | 23.4 | Low (1.0) | 9.4 | 4.4 | 0.9 | 1.3 | 33.6 | Barlow was being developed as a modern forward capable of spacing the floor while using his length defensively, continuing the experimentation that began with Overtime Elite; San Antonio viewed him as a developmental two-way prospect rather than a finished interior player. Associated Press — New league for prep standouts sends Barlow to NBA Draft Combine | None |
| Justin Kier | Defensive Utility Guard (1.05) | 25.5 | Low (1.0) | 7.8 | 2.6 | 3.0 | 1.6 | 31.5 | Kier’s role leaned toward point-of-attack defense and connective play, giving Austin a guard who could defend, move the ball and occasionally attack closeouts; his G League selection also reflected the value placed on that all-around guard profile. Sporting News — 2022 G League Draft results | None |
| Kenneth Faried | Energy Rebounding Reserve (1.0) | 13.7 | Low (1.0) | 4.6 | 5.5 | 0.7 | 1.8 | 25.2 | Faried remained recognizable as an energy big, relying on rebounding, rim activity and defensive disruption rather than designed offensive possessions; his short Austin stint was a veteran stop after years of NBA and international experience. The NBA G League — Kenneth Faried profile | None |
| Greg Malinowski | Spot-Up Wing Reserve (1.0) | 12.0 | Low (1.0) | 4.3 | 2.8 | 0.8 | 0.2 | 16.2 | Malinowski filled a low-usage perimeter role, with his value primarily tied to spacing and keeping possessions functional around higher-usage creators; contemporary coverage of his professional path was limited, so the Showcase sample provides only a narrow view of his Austin role. Georgetown Voice — Pro Hoyas coverage of Malinowski | None |
| Denzel Mahoney | Perimeter Shooting Reserve (1.0) | 22.4 | Low (1.0) | 4.0 | 1.7 | 0.7 | 1.1 | 15.0 | Mahoney was used as a perimeter-oriented reserve rather than a primary creator, and his Austin tenure followed a Creighton career built around wing scoring; contemporary reporting on his specific Showcase role was limited, making this a relatively small sample of his professional usage. The NBA G League — Denzel Mahoney profile | None |
| Alphonso Anderson | Emergency Rotation Wing (1.0) | 12.0 | Low (1.0) | 2.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 | 8.0 | Anderson occupied an end-of-rotation wing role in a crowded Austin roster, with limited contemporary reporting available on his specific Showcase usage; the available team context places him among the depth options surrounding Austin’s larger group of established G League contributors. Austin Spurs — 2022-23 training camp roster | None |

| Charles Bassey | Rim-Protecting Offensive Anchor (1.1) | 29.9 | High (1.2) | 22.6 | 9.1 | 2.4 | 2.4 | 96.4 | Bassey worked as Austin’s interior focal point, mixing strong post finishes with aggressive rim protection. Earlier reporting in Philadelphia noted that San Antonio viewed his rebounding and shot-blocking as immediate NBA-ready traits, while his development accelerated once he received meaningful minutes. Philadelphia Inquirer — Did the Sixers let Charles Bassey go too soon? | None |
| Brandon Randolph | Primary Wing Scorer (1.1) | 32.5 | High (1.2) | 19.2 | 4.8 | 2.5 | 1.8 | 74.7 | Randolph operated as a high-volume perimeter scorer after returning to the G League, with Austin using him as a sizeable wing who could attack from the outside and create his own attempts. His earlier G League work had already established him as a proven scoring option rather than a purely defensive reserve. Wisconsin Herd — Brandon Randolph joins Wisconsin | None |
| Blake Wesley | Downhill Lead Guard (1.05) | 29.6 | High (1.2) | 20.9 | 3.8 | 2.8 | 2.0 | 74.3 | Wesley’s Austin assignment gave him room to play with the ball and pressure defenses as a downhill creator, a useful counterpoint to the more structured NBA minutes he was receiving as a rookie. His 2022 development path centered on turning his speed and scoring instincts into a steadier professional guard game. Sports Illustrated — Spurs developmental outlook | None |
| Julian Champagnie | Starting Two-Way Wing (1.05) | 33.9 | High (1.2) | 18.1 | 8.4 | 2.5 | 1.8 | 71.1 | Champagnie brought a modern wing profile to Austin, combining high-volume perimeter attempts with rebounding and defensive activity. His subsequent San Antonio opportunity reflected the value of that skill package: reporting later described his three-point shooting and defense as central parts of his NBA role after his G League stint. Yahoo Sports — Meet the Austin Spurs alum making their mark | None |
| Dominick Barlow | Mobile Stretch Forward (1.05) | 29.7 | High (1.2) | 16.1 | 8.3 | 1.5 | 2.4 | 65.4 | Barlow was used as a rangy, developing forward who could operate around the paint without being confined to a traditional center role. His unusual route through Overtime Elite had already emphasized skill development, athleticism and learning the professional game, and Austin became an important laboratory for those tools. Yahoo Sports — Spurs sign undrafted forward Dominick Barlow | None |
| Alize Johnson | Rebounding Playmaking Forward (1.05) | 26.9 | High (1.2) | 14.5 | 11.0 | 1.6 | 0.8 | 64.4 | Johnson gave Austin a physical frontcourt creator who could rebound outside his immediate matchup and initiate offense from the forward spot. His G League reputation already centered on unusually productive rebounding and passing for a forward, and that same all-around profile carried into this Austin season. San Antonio Express-News — Alize Johnson and the Spurs’ frontcourt needs | NBA Call-Up (2022) |
| Jordan Hall | Point-Forward Initiator (1.05) | 29.6 | High (1.2) | 10.0 | 5.9 | 4.8 | 1.5 | 55.9 | Hall functioned as a point-forward connector, using his size to handle the ball and organize possessions rather than simply spotting up on the wing. That role followed the passing-heavy identity he developed at Saint Joseph’s, where he had already been entrusted with primary creation responsibilities. Saint Joseph’s — Jordan Hall profile and career coverage | NBA Call-Up (2022) |
| Chaundee Brown Jr. | Two-Way Wing Scorer (1.05) | 30.0 | Medium (1.1) | 14.4 | 5.4 | 2.0 | 0.7 | 52.0 | Brown served as a physical scoring wing who could absorb difficult perimeter assignments while still carrying offensive possessions. His prior South Bay season had already produced NBA call-ups, and contemporary coverage repeatedly connected his value to both scoring punch and defensive versatility. Sports Illustrated — Michigan players in the G League | None |
| Olin Carter III | Pick-and-Shoot Guard (1.05) | 27.0 | Medium (1.1) | 13.9 | 2.9 | 3.4 | 2.2 | 51.7 | Carter supplied Austin with a perimeter-oriented guard who could space the floor while also making secondary reads. His season included a notable 25-point outing against Memphis, with five made threes, illustrating how quickly his shooting could swing a G League possession. Memphis Hustle — Hustle win streak snapped in loss to Spurs | None |
| Justin Kier | Defensive Playmaking Guard (1.05) | 28.5 | Medium (1.1) | 8.8 | 3.6 | 4.9 | 1.2 | 42.7 | Kier’s role leaned heavily toward defensive pressure and connective playmaking rather than shot creation. His Arizona career had already established him as a veteran guard willing to defend, rebound and facilitate, and Austin used that same low-maintenance approach in a larger G League workload. Arizona Daily Star — Arizona’s veteran guard Justin Kier | None |
| Jordan Murphy | Interior Scoring Reserve (1.0) | 19.7 | Low (1.0) | 11.0 | 5.6 | 0.8 | 1.7 | 38.2 | Murphy remained an inside-oriented scorer and rebounder, using his strength around the basket rather than stretching the floor extensively. His Austin role continued a G League profile built around physical rebounding and efficient interior touches, and he produced an 18-point outing during the season. ShamSports — Jordan Murphy player profile | None |
| Galen Robinson Jr. | Backup Floor General (1.05) | 27.0 | Medium (1.1) | 10.0 | 1.3 | 4.3 | 1.3 | 37.3 | Robinson’s value came from organizing the offense and keeping possessions moving, a role consistent with his long G League résumé as a pass-first guard. His earlier Austin tenure had already established him as a reliable assist producer, and the 2022-23 return gave the Spurs another experienced ball-handler. South Bay Lakers — Galen Robinson Jr. transaction coverage | None |
| Kaleb Johnson | Starting Interior Connector (1.0) | 20.9 | Low (1.0) | 10.8 | 3.8 | 0.6 | 0.9 | 32.2 | Johnson filled a straightforward interior role, providing size, rebounding and finishing while staying mostly outside the team’s primary creation hierarchy. His later Austin usage showed that he could slide into the starting frontcourt when needed without demanding a large share of possessions. Austin Spurs — Kaleb Johnson game coverage | None |
| Marcus Zegarowski | Floor-Spreading Backup Guard (1.0) | 22.7 | Low (1.0) | 8.7 | 2.3 | 2.5 | 0.9 | 28.8 | Zegarowski provided a shooting-oriented guard option after arriving in Austin, with his previous Creighton career built around high-volume three-point shooting and point-guard responsibilities. His Austin stint therefore represented a chance to rebuild that perimeter identity after a quieter start to his professional career. Creighton Athletics — Marcus Zegarowski draft profile | None |
| Tommy Kuhse | Secondary Pick-and-Roll Creator (1.0) | 18.5 | Low (1.0) | 7.9 | 2.7 | 2.5 | 0.8 | 27.8 | Kuhse operated as a secondary organizer who could shoot enough to keep defenders attached to him. Coming from Saint Mary’s, where he had been recognized as a sixth-man scorer and strong three-point shooter, he entered Austin with a useful blend of ball security, passing and perimeter skill. San Antonio Express-News — Tommy Kuhse joins Spurs system | None |
| Adrian Delph | Spot-Up Scoring Guard (1.0) | 19.1 | Low (1.0) | 5.8 | 2.6 | 1.2 | 0.5 | 20.2 | Delph was primarily a spacing-oriented guard whose offensive background was built around perimeter shooting and secondary scoring. He arrived in Austin after a decorated Appalachian State career in which he was a major offensive option, but this season placed him in a more complementary professional role. Appalachian State — Adrian Delph career coverage | None |
| Jalen Adaway | Defensive Slashing Wing (1.0) | 21.3 | Low (1.0) | 5.7 | 2.1 | 1.0 | 0.8 | 19.2 | Adaway’s role was more about physical wing defense, cutting and opportunistic drives than creating offense from scratch. His college career at St. Bonaventure had established him as a strong, two-way perimeter player, making Austin a natural setting for him to translate that style against professional competition. St. Bonaventure — Jalen Adaway basketball coverage | None |
| Denzel Mahoney | Perimeter Spacing Specialist (1.0) | 21.0 | Low (1.0) | 4.3 | 1.2 | 1.0 | 0.7 | 14.4 | Mahoney occupied a low-usage wing role built around spacing and selective scoring rather than sustained creation. His Creighton background was that of a productive guard-forward who could make threes and defend passing lanes, traits that translated into a complementary Austin assignment. Sports Illustrated — Michigan and G League player coverage | None |
| Tyler Hagedorn | Stretch-Four Reserve (1.0) | 11.5 | Low (1.0) | 2.0 | 2.5 | 0.5 | 1.0 | 12.0 | Hagedorn was used as a deep frontcourt option with a perimeter-capable skill set, but his Austin stay was extremely brief. Contemporary transaction reporting shows he joined Austin in early February and was waived only two days later, leaving too little runway for a substantial offensive role to develop. OurSports Central — Austin Spurs roster and transaction coverage | None |
| Jai Smith | Emergency Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 10.7 | Low (1.0) | 0.7 | 1.0 | 0.3 | 0.7 | 5.4 | Smith’s Austin stint was strictly developmental and came late in the season after stops with Sioux Falls and Overtime Elite. Contemporary coverage described him as a young forward still gaining professional experience, and his Austin sample remained limited to three games. OurSports Central — Austin Spurs acquire Jai Smith | None |
