With the expectation that New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris would don the silver and black this season, the San Antonio Spurs sent Davis Bertans to the Washington Wizards in the early stages of free agency to make room for their new-look lineup. Instead, Morris ditched the Spurs and the team was left without its homegrown talent.
Now that Bertans is on a new team with a ton of opportunity, the Latvian Laser is putting up career-high numbers in scoring, rebounding and assists in roughly 29 minutes per game. He’s one of the game’s deadliest three-point marksman, hitting 45.
