The Spurs’ biggest mid-season shakeup has been future Hall of Famer Pau Gasol’s move to the bench, with Dewayne Dedmon taking his place in the starting unit. While Dedmon continues to settle into the first gig as a starter and the team looks to build more chemistry with its new rotations, the most interesting takeaway thus far is how Gasol’s game has changed to that of a modern-day stretch five.
Gasol was already familiar with the three-point shot last season as a Bull, averaging one attempt per game for the first time in his career.
