Drew Gooden Pouring In Points
by Bill Schoening | April 9, 2009
Spurs newcomer Drew Gooden is seeing an increase in his workload and in his production, and it's becoming clear that his contribution to the Spurs' frontcourt will be of paramount importance as the Spurs head into the postseason.
"It's important for us to get him some quality minutes right now with the other guys on the floor" says assistant coach Don Newman, who spends a lot of time with the Spurs big men.
Gooden can help the Spurs second unit with his low post defense and rebounding and his ability to score in the paint and on the baseline. It may be a good sign that some of Gooden's best offensive performances came during the Spurs recent three-game road trip when he scored 17 points at Indy, 15 points at Cleveland and 20 points in Oklahoma City.
