A local-boy-makes-good story highlighted the Spurs' introduction of three new players Wednesday afternoon.

San Antonio native Devin Brown realized a life's dream when he signed a two-year deal with San Antonio.

The 6-foot-3 guard played at West Campus High School and was a four-year player at UTSA, leaving after his 2001-02 season.

Spurs general manager R.C. Buford also announced the signing of backup point guard Anthony Carter and introduced guard/forward Ron Mercer, who had been signed last week.
