Mike Mitc
Mitc was an important transitional player for the Spurs. A 6-foot-7 small forward from Auburn, he joined the team before George Gervin's eighth season and instantly became a solid second scorer. By the 1984-85 season, Gervin's last in San Antonio, Mitc led the Spurs in scoring, the first player other than Gervin to lead the team since it joined the NBA in 1976. He was the team's top scorer again in 1985-86, at 23.4 points per game, and led the team in minutes played from 1983 to 1986.
Mitc averaged 20.1 points in his seven seasons with the Spurs and is all over the team's list of all-time leaders. Most significantly, he ranks fourth in points scored in silver and black with 9,799. He also ranks eighth in games played (488), fourth in field goals made (4,152) and attempted (8,429), sixth in free throws made (1,480) and attempted (1,888) and 10th in all-time free throw percentage (78.4). He ranks eighth in three of the club's all-time playoff categories: points scored (646), and field goals made (273) and attempted (544).
"Mitch" scored 40 or more points 10 times during his Spurs days, including a high game of 47 in 1984.
When Mitc became a free agent after the 1987-88 season, during which he averaged only 13.5 points, the Spurs opted not to re-sign him. But he became something of a bridge from the Gervin era to the David Robinson era when the Spurs brought him back for the 1990 playoffs, Robinson's first postseason.
