24-year old point guard Patrick Mills is going to be needed when Coach Popovich decides to give half the team off to rest them. Mills has played in 15 games (2 starts) for the Spurs so far this year and he is averaging 12.1 minutes, 4.9 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. In his 2 starts this year, Mills is averaging 23.7 minutes, 7.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game. I think Mills will play better as the year goes on as this is the first time his roster spot has been secure in his NBA career.
