Tremendous stat shows exactly what Spurs fans can expect from Chris Paul
He’s still got it.
The San Antonio Spurs have been searching for a steady hand to guide their young core, especially in the clutch moments of games. Last season, the team often struggled to close out games, a common issue for a young squad lacking veteran leadership. Enter Chris Paul, one of the most seasoned and respected point guards in NBA history, and there’s one stat that should get Spurs fans excited: since 2020, CP3 leads the league in fourth-quarter assists.
The young Spurs will learn a lot about closing games from Chris Paul
This stat isn’t just impressive; it’s exactly what the Spurs need. Closing out games in the NBA requires more than just talent—it demands poise, decision-making, and the ability to keep cool under pressure. That’s where Paul excels. His ability to set up teammates for good shots when it matters most could be a game-changer for San Antonio.
Last season, the Spurs had enough young talent on the team who knew how to score, but they lacked someone who could orchestrate the offense and ensure they got the right shot at the right time. Paul doesn’t need to be the one taking the last shot; his value lies in his ability to ensure the right person does. The Spurs can expect a more controlled and efficient offense with his leadership, especially in those critical final minutes.
While Paul may not be the same player he was in his prime, his experience and ability to make plays when it counts are invaluable. Spurs fans can look forward to a more composed and effective team in crunch time, thanks to CP3’s veteran presence.
