So who would you say is the team's third best player?

Lee and Dedmon are statistically better than Pau.

Pau is a terrible rebounder, and like LMA controls no paint. Spurs need Lee and Dedmon to keep playing strong. Lee is 13th in PER right now. IN THE LEAGUE. He and Dedmon are 8-9 in the league in reb%. Lee is 6th in Orating, Dedmon is 3. Dedmon is ahead of KL in Defensive Rating. Dedmon 18th in league in WS. Lee and Dedmon 8-9 in League in WS/48.

Pau... not on those lists. 3rd best player WTF>?

Just like 2014, the bench has to be the 3rd best asset for the team if they are going to make a deep run in the postseason.

Kawhi can neutralize the other team's best player & Softridge can at times be the best player on the floor when he's cookin'. When Danny is hitting his 3s at a 40% clip, he's one of the best 3-&-D guy in the league who can be an X-factor for series. Pau can be the 3rd best player on a championship team ala Kevin Love but he's unplayable against certain matchups thus the bench has to cir vent the holes in the starting lineup:
-Dedmon could be to Pau what Tristan is to Love
-Considering how shot Porker looks, Patty/Manu have to be in 2014 Finals form to overcome the hole Porker is going to dig.
-If Bertans can guard stretch 4s, he could be a valuable asset since Lee can't do the job & Kyle doesn't get those assignments
-Lee can give the team 2014 Baynes short-brust type impact minutes in the playoffs
-Simmons is the X-factor who could change a series by slaying a dragon in garbage time like CoJo

-Kyle seems like the De Colo of this squad & might get traded if he's put in the doghouse

When he is knocking down his 3s (ie guaranteed 35 minutes), Green might just be the second best player on the Spurs roster in term of overall game impact..
