The San Antonio Spurs are going to get a lot of offense out of their shooting guards in 2011-12
The San Antonio Spurs are going to get a lot of points out of their shooting guards in 2011-12. 34-year old Manu Ginobili is still a force for the Spurs. He played in 80 games (79 starts) for the Spurs last year and he averaged 30.3 minutes, 17.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Ginobili has now played in 633 games (340 starts) in his career with the Spurs and he is averaging 28.1 minutes, 15.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game. The Spurs will likely keep Ginobili about 30 minutes a night in an effort to keep him healthy all year because of his all-out style of play. 27-year old Gary Neal will back up Ginobili. Neal came out of nowhere last season to turn in a very solid season for the Spurs as a rookie. Neal played in 80 games (1 start) for the Spurs last year and he averaged 21.1 minutes, 9.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Neal is also a great long range shooter as he hit 41.9% from three point range last year.
