Head Coach Mitch Johnson- The Total Sag Boss (Sagittarius ♐, November 29th)

It makes total sense the Head Coach of the San Antonio Spurs is a Sagitarrius. Sagittarians are natural bosses. They are naturally bold, optimistic, big-picture kind of leaders who shoot for the stars with enthusiasm and “We got this” energy.

Johnson can balance having visionary leadership and a fiery, competitive edge that lights a fire under the whole team when its time to compete. Pure boss energy all around.

Victor Wembanyama – The Disciplined Goat (Capricorn ♑, January 4th)

Capricorns embody ambition, discipline, patience, responsibility, and steady upward climbs.

Wembyanyama’s game is textbook Capricorn: relentless work ethic, elite defensive instincts that anchor the entire team, and a patient evolution of his game. At just 22, he already carries the franchise like someone twice his age. Expect another season of him being the ultimate “do the work, reap the rewards” force on both ends, total Capricorn energy.

Stephon Castle – The Passionate Scorpion (Scorpio ♏, November 1st)

Scorpios bring intensity, determination, resourcefulness, loyalty, and a powerful presence that can transform situations. They read the game deeply and strike when it matters.

Castle’s defensive tenacity, two-way impact, and ability to elevate in big moments fit Scorpios perfectly. He plays with quiet fire and controlled aggression. His growth into a reliable starter and leader has that transformative Scorpio energy all over it.

Dylan Harper – The Intuitive, Visionary Dreamer (Pisces ♓, March 2nd)

Pisces are empathetic, creative, highly intuitive, adaptable, and often possess an almost artistic feel for the game. They flow, connect dots others miss, and bring a certain magic.

Harper’s court vision, smooth playmaking, and ability to read defenses in real time channel pure Pisces flow. The young guard creates offense effortlessly and adapts on the fly. His game has that dreamy yet highly effective quality.

Devin Vassell – The Precise Perfectionist (Virgo ♍, August 23rd)

Virgos are detail-oriented, hardworking, reliable, analytical, and constantly refining their craft. They notice everything and deliver consistent excellence.

Vassell’s improved shooting mechanics, defensive awareness, and overall two-way reliability are classic Virgo. He studies the game, tweaks his game, and shows up ready to execute at a high level every single night. His reliability the Spurs count on for spacing and defense are the quintessential Virgo in action.

Julian Champagnie – The Loyal, Protective Heart (Cancer ♋, June 29th)

Happy birthday, Julian! Cancers are nurturing, protective, intuitive, emotional, and deeply loyal. They bring heart, and hustle to teams.

Champagnie’s has a high energy style. His Cancer shell makes him is fiercely protective of loose balls, playing with passion, and doing whatever the team needs. Those on-court skills embody Cancer loyalty and protection perfectly. He’s the ultimate “I’ve got your back” teammate.

De’Aaron Fox – The Optimistic Trailblazer (Sagittarius ♐, December 20th)

Sagittarians are optimistic, adventurous, freedom-loving, philosophical, and full of restless energy. They thrive in open space and bring excitement and big-picture leadership.

Fox’s speed, transition magic, flashy finishes, and positive leadership energy are pure Sagittarius. He pushes the pace fearlessly and brings that “let’s go explore and dominate” vibe to the backcourt. A perfect veteran spark for this young core.

Keldon Johnson – The Charming Diplomat (Libra ♎, October 11th)

Libras seek harmony, balance, charm, and fairness. They’re social, likable, and often the glue that keeps group dynamics smooth and positive.

Johnson’s energetic, fan-friendly presence, versatile contributions, and consistent motor fit Libra beautifully. He brings good vibes, plays hard on both ends, and helps maintain that balanced team chemistry the Spurs value so highly. That balance showed the most last season, as he was awarded 6th Man of the Year for bringing the Spurs together.

Harrison Barnes – The Versatile Communicator (Gemini ♊, May 30th)

Geminis are adaptable, curious, communicative, witty, and multi-talented. They thrive in varied roles and bring intelligence plus versatility.

Barnes’ veteran leadership, shooting range, intelligence, and seamless fit into multiple lineups are classic Gemini duality. At 34, he continues to contribute smart basketball, space the floor, and mentor the young guys. His Gemini traits are exactly the adaptable, wise presence a contending team needs.

Kelly Olynyk – The Bold Ram (Aries ♈, April 19th)

Aries are energetic, pioneering, bold, competitive, courageous, and direct. They charge forward with initiative and aren’t afraid to take the lead or try new things.

Olynyk brings that classic Aries fire as a veteran big with shooting range, passing vision, and a willingness to stretch the floor or make the extra pass. His experience and willingness to adapt show the pioneering Aries spirit. Olynyk’s not afraid to reinvent his role for the team’s success.

Carter Bryant – The Chill Fire (Sagittarius ♐, November 26th)

Sagittarians (same sign as Fox) are optimistic, adventurous, freedom-loving, and full of big-hearted energy. They’re often the life of the party off the court while bringing explosive play on it.

Carter Bryant perfectly matches the Sagittarius vibe: a total fan favorite with that chill, cool-guy demeanor and a genuinely big heart. Teammates and observers consistently note how everything he says lands in a really cool, positive, laid-back way. Bryant is approachable, kind, and brings great energy anyone he comes in contact with. But on the court? Pure aggressive Sagittarius fire. He plays with intensity and shows that fearless all-or-nothing attitude his sign embodies. It’s the classic Sag duality: super chill and big-hearted off the floor, but competitive and aggressive when the ball is tipped.

Luke Kornet – The Laid-Back Yet Protective Crab (Cancer ♋, July 15th)

Cancers are nurturing, protective, intuitive, emotional, and loyal. July Cancers (like Kornet) often lean into the more expressive, humorous, and spiritually attuned side of the sign compared to the earlier June ones like his teammate, Julian Champagnie (June 29th).

Kornet brings that perfect July Cancer mix: funny and chill in his demeanor, yet deeply protective of his role and teammates. He’s known for his sense of humor and easygoing personality that lightens the mood, but when it’s game time he’s a team-first big who does the work without complaining. That protective, nurturing Cancer energymakes him a steady, positive veteran presence who looks out for the younger guys while bringing his own unique flavor to the frontcourt.
