LIFE

Roots & the rise

An undrafted, iron-man 3-and-D wing — the durable floor-spacer who set a Spurs three-point record.

Julian Kymani Champagnie was born and raised in Brooklyn, the identical twin of NBA player Justin Champagnie, and starred at St. John's as a two-time first-team All-Big East wing. He went undrafted in 2022, signed a two-way deal with Philadelphia, and was claimed by San Antonio in February 2023.

He became a durable rotation 3-and-D wing — an iron man who played all 82 games in a season — and set a Spurs franchise record with 11 three-pointers in a game (a 36-point night against the Knicks). He provides shooting and wing defense on a Finals team.

BEYOND THE GAME

Beyond the game

Basketball and Brooklyn shaped Champagnie: raised in Kensington by a family of Jamaican descent, he grew up with his identical twin Justin, whom he faced in an NBA game for the first time in 2025 — a milestone for a pair who did everything together. His father Ranford played championship soccer at St. John's.

His identity is availability and shooting — a low-maintenance 3-and-D wing who rarely misses a game and stretches the floor. Setting the Spurs' single-game three-point record with 11 makes showed the ceiling of his shooting, the skill that turned an undrafted twin into a rotation regular on a contender.

ANALYSIS

What the numbers say

Availability and spacing

Champagnie's value is durable, low-cost 3-and-D play — a wing who shows up every night, spaces the floor, and defends his position. His franchise-record 11-three game shows the shooting ceiling, and on a Spurs team built around Wembanyama, that kind of reliable, cheap floor-spacing wing is exactly the connective depth a contender needs.
