Five games. Fifty-one minutes. Seven points. Fifteen rebounds. Three assists. One block. One steal. Two turnovers. No fouls.
That is the entirety of Jauncho Hernangomez time with the San Antonio Spurs. Not much to hang your hat on, but as a fan of the Spurs (and I do remind people from time to time that i am Spurs fan, not a basketball fan...there is a distinction) any player who suits up receives some respect. There is research, time and energy, and essentially I must admit I get attached.
Whatever it was the Spurs saw in this player — enough so to bring him to San Antonio — I want to understand it.
