The Spurs really found a gem in Dewayne Dedmon. The four-year center is in the middle of a breakout year. The numbers — five points and six rebounds a game — are not all that impressive, but his defense and finishing ability are elite.
Most centers of Dedmon's caliber get eight-figure deals, yet San Antonio managed to sign him for peanuts: $6 million over two years. The downside to getting that cheap production this year is that he has the ability to opt out in the offseason.
Unless something unforeseen happens, he will. And he will get a serious raise.
