This series will look at each of the Spurs’ eight under-30 players with an eye towards how they can improve in or expand their role on the team. Rather than focus on individual skills, for the most part, we’ll concentrate on what the team needs from each player on offense and defense to identify a key opportunity to have more impact.
Dejounte Murray has only to play regular season minutes to improve on last year’s contributions. Fingers crossed, that should be a low bar to pass. Whether he’ll be the same player or not after returning from a season-stealing ACL tear in his right knee remains to be seen, but if workout clips and rumors can be trusted, Dejounte appears to be well on his way back to form.
