There are players who lack consistency but make enough dazzling plays to make up for it, and there are others who just quietly do their job most nights without standing out. Spurs forward Keita Bates-Diop belongs to the latter category.
The 26-year-old forward didn’t wow anyone on either end this past season, but his defense was solid, and he made up for his limited skillset on offense by being smart and hard-working. In a way, he was a very Spurs-y player.
But as the team tries to reinvent itself, should they be giving minutes to guys that don’t seem to have a lot of potential?
