The only curveball Mills brings is hustle and streaky shooting while getting abused on the defensive end when it matters because hes just too small. Murray had a wider range of postives that can all be curveballs on both ends.
As for next year, Spurs would be dumb making him get most of his minutes at the SG ( his size/ length wouldnt be an advantage on either end). He'd be most effective being the guy, the PG, on both ends of the floor. Defending PGs, and handling the O since hes already the player on the team who creates the most seperation out of the PnR.
I hope the Spurs smell the roses and dont handcuff Murray in a situation to where they play him at a position where his ceiling is lower. All while, paying Prime Dana Barros/ Eddie House 50 million. That would be a mistake.
Let Murray run the 2nd unit next year.
