In his fourth year with the San Antonio Spurs, LaMarcus Aldridge proved again why he’s recognized as one of the best big men of his era. While San Antonio struggled to initially bring together so many new players, Aldridge was the most consistent player in a time where the team desperately needed stability.
After a turbulent summer, San Antonio focused the preseason on integrating new players like DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and Quincy Pondexter. To add another complication, San Antonio lost presumed starting point guard Dejounte Murray to a torn ACL.
