Richard Jefferson has had a forgettable first season in San Antonio so far, but with the Spurs in the rare position of having to battle for a playoff spot, they’re hoping the veteran forward can elevate his play. If his past few games are any indication, he’s starting to do just that. Suddenly thriving in a reserve role, Jefferson looks to continue his revival Monday night when San Antonio visits the New Orleans Hornets. The Spurs felt Jefferson would be a great complement to Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili when they acquired him from New Jersey prior to draft day. Jefferson, who averaged 19.7 points over the past six seasons, has instead seen that average dwindle to 12.0 while struggling to fit in on Gregg Popovich’s team.

He’s come off the bench four times in San Antonio’s last six games, and seems to be getting the hang of his new role. Jefferson had 15 points Friday in a 109-104 loss at Houston, then scored 20 on Sunday in a 113-110 win over Phoenix. Popovich has tried all sorts of lineup combinations with newcomers Jefferson, Antonio McDyess, Keith Bogans and rookie DeJuan Blair. One configuration featured Jefferson up front alongside Duncan, taking him away from his natural small forward spot.
