Aldridge's Versatile Game Has Fit In Well with Spurs

San Antonio added Aldridge to a loaded roster in the offseason, which instantly made it one of the favorites to win the title. The former Portland Trail Blazers star averaged more than 21 points per game in each of the last five campaigns and has four All-Star appearances on his resume.
