Outside of Kawhi who improved his reputation again this year.

The shadow that is "team" has overshadowed some of maybe the better individual performances some of the spurs players have shown this year...At least from a mainstream POV. Ginobili, Dedmon, Lee, Bertans etc.

I think the team misses some opportunity to prop Bertans more as a bonafide rookie.

I think they don't even get credit from some so called fans here... but yes. Everything Spurs is about the system. It's a good system worth giving credit to but obviously the players execute the plays in the siystem and it is their talent that can win games with that system or not.

Bertans does usually seem to get recognition for his skill and contributions by the commentators when the Spurs play the nationally televised games. Which is somewhat surprising. It is typically mentioned in conjunction with the Kawhi/Hill trade, seemingly implying that the Spurs didn't think super high of him, and that he was just thrown in to the deal but that he ended up being a real NBA player.

No one has been consistently reliable outside of Kawhi...so no, I don't think anyone is getting seriously underrated or anything. If I had to say anyone, it'd probably be Lee.

Could you start up a blog, see if it catches fire?

David Lee is really the only consistent performer outside of Kawhi on the team. Gasol has been good, too.
