Julian Champagnie’s Spurs Rise | San Antonio Spurs News

Julian Champagnie locked in for three years, $45M, staying with the Spurs after they declined his option — a reward for his breakout season: 11.1 PPG, 5.8 RPG, and a franchise-record 38% from three, including playoffs. He helped lead them to their first Finals since 2014, beating OKC en route. Meanwhile, veteran Harrison Barnes returns on a $8M deal, but minutes dipped as rookie Carter Bryant rose. With cap space to spare, the Spurs are poised to bolster Victor Wembanyama’s roster and add depth — plus, they’ve got young talent like Jayden Quaintance and Maliq Brown coming. And don’t forget: Champagnie wasn’t even drafted in 2022 — he’s risen from the scraps to become a cornerstone. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
