What's completely odd is that he doesn't seem to play big for a 6'10" guy.

Here's his pre-draft measurements: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...-Haislip-2681/

Height w/o Shoes Height w/shoes Weight Wingspan Standing Reach Body Fat No Step Vert Max Vert Bench Press Lane Agility 3/4 Court Sprint Class Rank
6' 8.5" 6' 9.75" 221 7' 0" 8' 11" NA 33.5 36.5 8 11.35 3.21 17

Play #10 - Nice quick reaction to block an easy dunk.
Play #9 - Nice dribble penetration and showing flexibility finding a hole in well defended basket using a reverse layup. (possibly the most impressive play IMHO)
Play #8 - Nice one hand alleyhoop play. He definitely doesn't need two hands to catch a ball. Take note of the vertical!
Play #7 - Reverse layup. May have recognized that the basket was covered, so promising that he's able to change his shot in mid jump.
Play #6 - Nice monster block... but the guy was simply over matched.
Play #5 - Break away double handed block... notice the vertical... his head almost hits the ring!
Play #4 - Pass and then dunk. Shows he can dunk even in congestion.
Play #3 - Alley hoop dunk. Notice how far away from the ring he picks up the ball. Man... Manu is going to have a grand time feeding this guy!
Play #2 - Rebound to dunk in one motion. Holy! Look how far away from the rim he rebounds the ball.
Play #1 - Dribble penetration, dunk in traffic on top of Tiago Splitter!!

Nice. I hope he is up to playing some defense too. Haislip seems to have good hands, so heres hoping that Manu and him can get some highlight reel worthy dunks this season.

TIMMYD! · 08-31-2009, 07:14 PM

I have always had a good feeling about him, if he comes out and gets maybe 8-9 points, a couple of rebounds, and highlight reel dunks it will be a very good signing.

angelbelow · 08-31-2009, 09:01 PM

still very intrigued by what haislip can do. hopefully hes ready for the nba.

rayray2k8 · 08-31-2009, 09:14 PM

Most of the highlights were dunks, but I hope he can help the spurs on the glass and on D. Anything else he gives them is a plus.

Libri · 08-31-2009, 09:29 PM

I hope he uses that athleticism to alter some shots at the defensive end.

mosdef17 · 08-31-2009, 09:52 PM

We have always needed someone like him. An athletic freak who will throw down some dunks, get some putbacks and alter some shots on defense. Since D-Rob retired we have basically never had an athletic advantage over another team (TP is quick and fast, I mean someone athletic, long, and 6'4 or taller). Now with RJ and Haislip running around we should finally have some extremely nice hustle play highlights this season.

Dejuan Blair Fan · 08-31-2009, 09:59 PM

@ the people who think that Haislip will actually see playing time.

Spur|n|Austin · 08-31-2009, 11:00 PM

I heard him and RJ were gonna duke it out for the #24 jersey.

Sotongball21 · 08-31-2009, 11:11 PM

Was that Splitter he posterized in the last play?

I bet in the pre-season he will see plenty of time. If he outplays Bonner he can get 5 to 10 minutes a game.

tomtom · 09-01-2009, 12:47 AM

Couldn't play worse D than Bonner

Yeah and then what happened after he got PT?????

BUMP · 09-01-2009, 09:24 AM

What a waste of height. Way too soft to do anything in this league

truth is, we don't know where in the rotation Finley or Haislip will fit. I'm not saying he will get PT, I'm saying it's not a guarantee he will not

There are no guarantees at this point. Right now the Spurs have 7 bigs. Haislip will have to move past 2 of them just to be one of the 5 in uniform. He will have to make it past one more to play minutes outside of garbage time. When you look at the 7 bigs currently on the roster, it is more likely that Haislip will be number 5,6, or 7 rather than number 3 or 4.

He has the opportunity, we'll all find out at the same time how much he makes of it. Count me among those who do not foresee a similar highlight reel of Haislip in a Spurs uniform.

manufan10 · 09-01-2009, 09:49 AM

I say he gets the same or more playing time then Ratliff, IMO.

McDyess is OLD. no guarantee he will be healthy throughout.

Mahinmi is made of glass, also no guarantee he will be healthy

Blair has no ACLs and a rookie

Theo Ratliff... seriously?

Hailslip could very well get minutes this season.

And, the guys who are our top four scorers, each of them will be required once every two months to appear on MTV. And the guys who shoot the worst free throws over a one-month period, the next time we have a TV game, they are required to look into the camera and beat their chests after they make a good play. I think then we will have a little bit different reputation." - Gregg Popovich.
