Shooting guard Bryn Forbes surprised many with his play last season. He wasn’t supposed to start out as the San Antonio Spurs’ point guard, but when injuries forced Forbes into the role, he took off. The 26-year-old took his increased minutes and responsibility in stride.
Scoring in double-digits in sixteen out of the team’s first nineteen games, Forbes was a valuable and consistent option on offense early on. His assist average doubled as he took on more playmaking responsibility than ever before. He looked comfortable; he knew he was ready for his moment.
His play didn’t go unnoticed by the Spurs.
