The San Antonio Spurs played 30 games in the 2017-18 season, moving past the quarter mark. This was mostly without Kawhi Leonard, who missed 27 games with a right quad injury. In his absence, players stepped up and took on larger roles, including the youngest ones on the roster that were hardly seen in 2016-17.
Without the performance of a handful of Spurs players, where would this team be? At 20-10 and No. 3 in the Western Conference, maybe nowhere near this mark. Especially without the redemption of a former All-Star.
So, through 30 games, who were the five best players for the Silver and Black?
