For the better part of the season, there’s been a Spurs player floating just below the radar; not so much due to a lack of visibility as the presence of agitated indifference, and it’s not terrifically challenging to work out just why that is. At 6’3” and 175 lbs, with only a 6’5” wingspan, Bryn Forbes doesn’t exactly rate as an impressive athletic specimen in the modern NBA. You’d actually have to go back pretty far in NBA history for those to be considered even mildly impressive physical traits. And unless you happen to be the San Francisco Bay Area’s lord and savior, Steph Curry (who at the same height and wingspan still managed to pack on 15 extra pounds of muscle), those are the sort of measurables that keep you out of the league.
The rise of Bryn Forbes mirrors what is to come for the Spurs.
