LaMarcus Aldridge staged a resurgence in his Spurs career after initially putting in a trade request at the start of last offseason. Always knocked for his defense before joining the Spurs (even though he was an above-average defender from the low post before his move), Aldridge is now a true two-way stud with whom few big men, if any, can keep pace with on either end of the floor.
The Spurs will go only as far as Aldridge takes them this season.
