A plethora of preseason injuries to the Spurs’ point guard rotation has forced Bryn Forbes off the bench and into the starting lineup. Although he rarely operated as the primary facilitator in either college or high school, Forbes has filled in quite nicely in the absence of Dejounte Murray and Derrick White.
It’s unclear at the moment whether or not San Antonio can maintain their success with Forbes in the starting five. He’s been far from perfect on either end of the floor, but without his contributions the Spurs wouldn’t have beaten the Lakers and they could be looking at a winless record to start the season.
