The Spurs’ young veterans are ready to become leaders

The Spurs hosted their media day on Monday, and there’s a lot to talk about. One of the biggest topics of discussion during availability, and something fans have been wondering all offseason, was who is going to take bigger leadership roles now that guys like DeMar DeRozan, Derrick White, and Dejounte Murray are gone and there are a lot of new faces are around.

Fortunately, all three of the Spurs’ young veterans who have been around for a while seemed ready to take on the challenge, going by what they said.

Most eyes are going to be on the newly extended Keldon Johnson when it comes to being a vocal leader, and he agrees that he has earned the position.
