The Spurs have relied on a team effort to be successful this season. While DeMar DeRozan and Dejounte Murray have arguably posted the more impressive numbers, San Antonio wouldn’t have exceeded expectations to such a significant degree without the contributions of the supporting cast.
Within that supporting cast, Patty Mills has been particularly impressive. Not only is the veteran guard performing well individually, but he’s also made life easier for the coaching staff and his teammates by filling in the gaps in lineups and taking on whichever role is needed from him. At age 32, Mills has become the ultimate glue guy.
