If it wasn't already obvious to San Antonio Spurs fans, forward Julian Champagnie is a keeper. He's thrived in whatever role he's been asked to play this season.
Better still, he has given the Silver and Black a reliable option on both ends of the floor. That has made coach Mitch Johnson's decision to start Champagnie over Harrison Barnes a wise one.
To his credit, Barnes is having the better shooting season. However, Champagnie is the better all-around player and having a much bigger impact on San Antonio's success.
Even so, he can't shake comparison to former Spur Danny Green.
