For many, summer league basketball brings little interest, especially if you aren’t a lottery team getting a first glimpse of your draft pick, hoping you’ve struck gold with the next franchise player who will resurrect your team. This is often the case for Spurs fans, when the most interesting aspect is usually finding out if the first round draft pick or an old stash has a chance to get minutes under Coach Gregg Popovich.
This typical dullness also serves a purpose: it makes those times when a player like Bryn Forbes, underdog story and all, comes along and blows your mind all the more special.
