Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs. Orlando Magic
The San Antonio Spurs suffered an embarrassing 38-point blowout at the hands of the Houston Rockets in their preseason opener on Sunday night, looking disoriented without a surefire go-to option on the floor. Despite an inadequate performance on the road, there were positive takeaways from rookies Malaki Branham and Jeremy Sochan.

A dynamic defender, Sochan can guard every position on the court with his length and athleticism. He still needs development on the offensive side of the ball but will see early minutes off the bench for this Spurs team.

Braham has great size at 6-foot-5 and was the most improved player from the start of the college season to the end. He averaged 13.7 points, two assists and committed only 1.7 turnovers per game.

Wesley is the first one-and-done in Notre Dame program history and even though he was inconsistent during the season, he has improved his jumper and added 9 pounds of muscle mass during the pre-draft process. Wesley is an underrated passer and has great body control around the rim.
