When you ask the average NBA fan to describe the style of play the San Antonio Spurs have demonstrated over the years, you usually get responses like methodical, fundamental, and machine-like. Gregg Popovich has never had the most athletic rosters over the course of his legendary career, which has unfortunately contributed to his club being labeled ‘boring’ with some of the mainstream media in the past.
True fans of the game appreciate the effectiveness of the Spurs’ system, whether it’s flashy or not. In the upcoming season, San Antonio has a good chance to be both devastatingly efficient and flashy at the same time, and one of the main reasons is 20-year-old Lonnie Walker IV.
