After leading the Australian National Team in the FIBA World Cup this summer, point guard Patty Mills has returned to the San Antonio Spurs for the 2019-20 season with a new sense of urgency. The 31-year-old is as spry as ever, gliding across the court with staggering quickness and curling off screens for triples at every opportunity.
At this point in his career, many would’ve expected Mills to take a backseat to his teammates and return to his towel-waving ways, but quite the opposite has been true. Mills now has the highest volume of his career and is thriving with the role.
