A common theme that quickly emerges when trying to discuss individual performances by all but the most important players on last season’s Spurs roster is that everyone had ups and downs. Health-related absences, mid-season trades, and role changes combined to create an uncharacteristically volatile environment in San Antonio.

Yet, once things settled for a while after the trade deadline, everything seemed to click for the young wing who had never found the right role before.
