Hours after the San Antonio Spurs lost Manu Ginobili to retirement, Quincy Pondexter signed a one-year deal for the 2018-19 season. He became the roster’s 14th man, with one spot open for whoever San Antonio chooses to use it on, if anyone.
On paper, Pondexter owns the measurables to replace Ginobili, at 6-foot-7 and the ability to play shooting guard and small forward. A six-year veteran, he flashed the ability to shoot from three-point range at 35.7 percent in 17.3 minutes per game, so there’s some upside for the Spurs to have someone else to spread the floor.
