Marco Belinelli

Salary:

2018-19 – $6,153,846
2019-20 – $5,846,154
As per spotrac.

A player who fits into any system he’s sent to. Over the years we’ve witnessed previous Spurs land outside San Antonio only to see their high performances dip. Oh, the power of Gregg Popovich.

But, Belinelli isn’t one of those players. Every location he landed in after his first stint with the Spurs resulted in success. One could argue his addition along with Ersan Ilyasova was why the 76ers did so well to finish last year and into the early stages of the postseason.

Belli has played for nine different teams over his 11 years in the NBA with San Antonio being the only repeat destination.

This season his stat line is 11 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.5 steals and he’s shooting a robust 39.0 percent from the perimeter in 5.1 attempts per game.
