There’s a group of five players getting a good amount of run together this year, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite units on the team. It’s the Happy Fun Ball lineup, consisting of Patty Mills, Manu Ginobili, Jonathon Simmons, Davis Bertans and Dewayne Dedmon.
It features high BBIQ basketball players at all five positions (important), three potent shooters (also important), a big man that can catch and finish lobs in traffic (also, also important) and an athletic wing in Simmons that can beat bench defenders off the dribble when they help too far off Mills or Ginobili.
