Champagne problems make for interesting offseason conversations. Coming off an NBA Finals run, the San Antonio Spurs are returning a stacked roster with some minor additions. The signing of Tobias Harris gives the Spurs another option in their starting lineup, alongside De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, and Victor Wembanyama.

But Julian Champagnie was a starter for 68 games last season and started every single NBA Playoff game. He has some claim to keeping his spot to start the season. Then there is Dylan Harper, who became a 19-year-old star in the postseason, at times looking like the best player on the court across multiple series.

So between Harris, Harper, and Champagnie, who gets the fifth spot? We want your input. Vote in the poll below, and we will be back later in the week to go over the results.
