SAN ANTONIO – Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he believes power forward LaMarcus Aldridge is slowly but surely becoming more comfortable with his new team and its system.
“When you play with a whole group of new players, it takes time to understand what your place is,” Popovich said before Friday night’s game with the Los Angeles Lakers. “Sometimes I think he’s deferred too much because he is just trying to fit in. And immediately that’s the right thing to do when you enter an organization. Any of us who has a new job defers in the beginning and tries to fit.
