Spurs: Addressing 5 Unanswered Questions Through 1st Quarter of Season

2. Who will be the Spurs' consistent second option on offense?

Heading into Tuesday night's game against the Knicks, Keldon Johnson is currently the Spurs' second-leading scorer with 14.8 points per game. While this is a great development for him, it also points to the fact that Derrick White hasn't been living up to his expectations so far.

Not only did I predict Dejounte and Derrick to be the two leading scorers heading into the season, but I thought White would emerge as the team's best player overall with the team's keys in his hands. So far, it seems I had those two flipped. Murray has become the Spurs' best and most consistent player and is even drawing attention as a Most Improved Player candidate.

Now that Murray has established he'll bring it every night, the Spurs need a reliable second option that'll be good for 16-18 points a night to help him out. A big factor in San Antonio's four-game winning streak was the fact that White averaged 19.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in those games.

If he and Dejounte can consistently be the one-two punch many thought they would be, the Spurs might not be that far off from contending in the future after all.
