Even if the Spurs find their next superstar in the draft, the twosome of Keldon Johnson...
Keldon Johnsonreaches out to teammate Devin Vassell after he hit a basket against the Milwaukee bucks in the second half at AT&T Center on Nov. 11, 2022 in San Antonio.During a game that mattered, with playoff implications, national television cameras zoomed in on the two of them together. In that moment, Derrick White knew exactly where Dejounte Murray was going.
And as they both get closer to fulfilling the Spurs’ belief in them while competing for championships with someone else?Neither White nor Murray disappointed during their time with the Spurs, but neither ever had the chance to entrench themselves, either.
From a draft-and-development standpoint, they were two of the Spurs’ biggest success stories of the 2010s, surpassed only by the guy San Antonio was scheduled to see again Saturday night in Los Angeles. In this new age of watching former Spurs thrive elsewhere, Kawhi Leonard was a pioneer. A year, or two years, or three years from now, national television cameras are going to zoom in on Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell during a big game.There are no guarantees, obviously. As a headlining duo, Johnson-Vassell might have the same not-quite-contending ceiling that Murray-White did. But the reason that Murray and White split up wasn’t that they underperformed. It was because they didn’t have the right help.
