Zach LaVine draws San Antonio Spurs's drop coverage scheme — sits the big back to wall off the rim and lives with contested mid-range looks.

Primary assignment projects to Stephon Castle (solid defender, 74 Perimeter D), Devin Vassell secondary, with Victor Wembanyama as the low-man/help.

Model lines LaVine at 19.3 pts (range 16.3–22.2) vs a 19 line — a lean to clear it (53%).

Biggest edge: scheme fit — drop coverage concedes the pull-up/mid-range he likes.

Model favors San Antonio Spurs (61%), projected 111–113, ~224 total at 96.2 pace.
