The San Antonio Spurs have been a model for consistent success and are recognized as one of the best-run organizations in sports. Since Gregg Popovich took over as head coach, the franchise has established a culture and playing style that has allowed them to develop players to reach their potential as a team. One player that exemplifies the Spurs way is Keldon Johnson. As a late first-round pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Spurs found a gem in Johnson, a player with high offensive upside. Four seasons into his career, the Virginia native has improved every year to become a top-tier scoring threat. What stands out more is how well he fits into the system and has bought in. Johnson plays a selfless, team-oriented brand of basketball with an emphasis on fundamentals, and he is a leader of the team. A player like this that is also scoring at a high level is just what the Spurs need to lead them back to contention.
