Former Gator forward, Matt Bonner signed a four year deal with the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. The Spurs value Bonner’s shooting touch, especially from beyond the three point line where he has made over 40% of his attempts in his career. According to Yahoo! Sports, the deal will be worth $16 million.

After being drafted in the second round of the NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls in 2003, Bonner was subsequently traded to the Toronto Raptors where he averaged 7.2 points and 3.5 rebounds as a rookie. Bonner would spend only one more season with the Raptors before bringing his soft shooting touch to Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs.

Matt has apparently found his niche in San Antonio where he has been rewarded for his efforts with his newly inked 4 year, $16 million deal.
