Patty Mills more comfortable working with Spurs' second unit
San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills confirmed he feels more comfortable working with the second unit, when he talked to reporters after Monday's practice.
What It Means:
Mills is a candidate to join the starting lineup after Dejounte Murray tore his ACL. The veteran point guard is likely to stay the backup with Derrick White taking over the starting job, for at least the start of the season. Mills role will ultimately not change too much from last year.
Our models project Mills for 9.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 23.4 minutes per game this season.
