Stud Point Guard – Patty Mills

Team: San Antonio Spurs

ADP: 137.1

Pre-Season Ranking: 188

Current Ranking: 69

It may be surprising to see a bench player here as a stud, but San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has worked his magic again, allowing Patty Mills to flourish (and outperform Tony Parker in fantasy and real life) in his best season to date.

As Parker has continued to show signs of his aging game, Mills is showing the Spurs why he is worthy of the starting role when Pop decides it is time to hand over the reins to a new point guard. And he’ll have to decide soon, as Mills hits the open market next summer.
