 The list of 3 and D players who have played for Pop's Spurs Title Teams

If there are any missing, let me know.

For Pop as a coach, it all started with Sean Elliott.

There's a pattern afoot here!
It would seem that the Positionless Basketball trend is fully being implemented.

The first time I remember someone talking about the term, Positionless Basketball was during an interview with Sacramento Kings Vivek Ranadive.

Here is a link to that story:

Here is what he said back in 2014.

He was the 21st century kind of coach that I wanted. The style of play -- we want to be like the Spurs, but exciting. We want to create a winning franchise that is a perennial contender, and we also want a strong defense, combined with up-tempo play. Malone is a coach’s son, and there was high demand for him. I knew that I wanted him, so I made a deal with him that once I bought a team, he would be my coach.

And then this question was asked:

You said you wanted to be like the Spurs, but exciting. Play up-tempo, but also have a good defense. I know your defense has improved over the course of the season, but you’re playing a little slower now than early on. How do you feel that the offense has looked, not necessarily in terms of performance, but in the aesthetics of the way you wanted to play?

I think clearly we have more work to do on offense. We have more turnovers than we would like. We need to move the ball around better. We’d like it to be more up-tempo. We have a lot of young guys on the team.

I want to basically play a new brand of position-less basketball. I want to have these super-athletic, young guys that can run and feel out the game. Guys like Rudy Gay, and Derrick Williams, these are guys who can play the 1-2-3-4 positions. There’s work to be done on offense but I think we’ve made progress.

Positionless Basketball!!!

Athletic, young guys that can run and feel out the game and play positions 1, 2, 3, & 4.

That sounds pretty familiar.

Here is the list of all the guys that Pop has used as 3 and D. Most of these guys emphasize D with some 3, but there were some who were only good at 3's and lacking at D. There are also some who were End of the bench depth but this was their role.

There are also some players who were special at it and have the awards and hardware to show for it.
