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 18.8 pts (range 16–21.7) vs a 18.5 line — a lean to clear it (54%).

Biggest edge: opponent defense — soft unit — points come easier.

Model favors San Antonio Spurs (76%), projected 115–121, ~236 total at 98.9 pace.
