Anything Mills can do, Forbes can do better.
Microwave Patty posted up the worst stats against GSW I've ever seen a PG have as a starter. Should never happen again.
Forbes aint doing near the starting spot.
Who actually thinks that?

Ditto...we will find out 10/18. Pre-season we might get a peak at a few things. I'm going 10/10 & 10/18. It'll be fun to see.
Well no one really...just some poster named tmtcsc so far. That said the only camp battles that are going to mean anything this year is Bertans v Kyle & DJ V ForbesForbes aint doing near the starting spot.
Who actually thinks that?
we know that Pop has not promised the starting spot to anyone yet because DJ was asked point blank in his presser yesterday.
This can only mean it will be made clear at some point during or after camp once they have been evaluated. On that fact alone you have to give him at least a slight chance (maybe 10%) to win the spot?
Like i said though in the post above, even if Forbes outplays DJ in camp i would still prefer to start Murray regardless to get him as much playing time as possible while TP is out.
He has the higher ceiling, is younger and we need to fast-track his development so we can find out if he will be a long term running mate during Kawhi's prime years.
Especially since this year is looking more and more like a throw away season....i almost wish TP was out an extra month or two then scheduled.
Also if DJ wins the starting spot i think Kawhi will have more chances to develop his point forward skills & initiate the offense.
i don't have anything to support that though. its just a gut feeling because he improves every year has ticked every other box aside from play-making at a high level. What better time to experiment with point forward then when TP is out and our starting 1 is a scorer?

I also don't think who starts at the 1 is that significant. They might start Patty just as a nod. With TP coming back as early as November it is even more insignificant.
With Paul, Mills, forbes, and considering what transpired in the playoffs...kawhi is very clearly going to play more point so yeah it wouldn't matter as much.
TP's resurgence really had a lot to do with him playing offball a lot in the playoffs, maybe he can finally see the benefit of playing offball.
Agreed - This is my gut feeling also.
Allot of experimenting with Kawhi as a point forward early in the season
Mills
Green
Leonard
Aldridge
Gasol
Unfortunately
Most likely
PG: Manu/Patty depending on the opponent
SG: Manu/Danny depending on the opponent
SF: Kawhi
PF: Manu/Gasol depending on the opponent
C: LaMarcus Aldridge
Hopefully Poop sticks to this for the whole season, sans the few games of rest, tbh...
Gasol
Aldridge
Bertans
Gay
Leonard
That's my starting five..
TP
Green
Kawhi
Bertans (If Kyle can shoot then he starts)
LMA

Pop's love for Forbes is going to surprise us all:
Forbes
Green
Kawhi
LMA
Pau
Hopefully the resulting aneurisms to Spurstalk users won't take some of our favorite posters
Can manu not play center?
Starters
Four Smalls
Lamarcus
Bench
Four Smalls
Pau
All small-ball all the time. I hope our smalls can rebound.
Forbes is a much better off the ball player than Dijon. It has to be considered that Dijon can't shoot.
That's my guess too.
A good possibility too. Very underrated the fact Forbes was Pop's featured guy in SL, had a great summer and he was the only guy he mentioned to start training camp. If Kawhi is going to be handling the ball more, Forbes fits bc he's a lights out shooter. Last season he was timid shooting. I bet he's shooting with aggression right now.
Forbes is a tier version of Mills. If it's not DJ it'll be Mills.
Or White.
If DJ is again all talk and no substance, it's definitely open season for anyone.
We can't properly evaluate DJ until he gets consistent playing time. Pop needs to stop ing around and let him play.
I don't think he will get special treatment over anybody. In fact it may be a bit of a revolving door with different guys getting opportunities through the season. That's just what I believe. He may even get the first look but others are snipping at his heels and he has to get it together. It will end up making him work harder and be better than if he's just handed minutes with no strings attached.
