DeMar DeRozan has had a solid first year with the San Antonio Spurs, but it’s been LaMarcus Aldridge who has primarily led this team to a better record than many predicted this season.
Aldridge’s All-NBA buzz was awakened yet again when he torched the Celtics for 48 points on 20-for-31 shooting with 13 rebounds and 6 assists in a comfortable 19-point victory, which was one of the Spurs’ best road wins of the season.
The forward position will be very competitive on this year’s All-NBA ballot, and Aldridge is unlikely to make All-NBA as a center with Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, and Karl-Anthony Towns all having incredible seasons.
