I see. So he is just injury insurance at this point, that's a shame.

I'd like to see Blossomgame, Brihma, and Hilliard called up.

Blossom needs to get more defensive stats. His offense isn't superlative enough to be NBA-caliber yet. The rebounding is really nice, but he needs the blocks and steals to go along with them, or else he's an awkward niche player. He's not an elite athlete either.

[palangi]

I can't tell if you are talking about Jaron Blossomgame or Danny green? Your irreplaceable player.
Sure he doesn't get blocks like green but he does rebound (you can't down play this) much better than green. He is getting steals at an equal rate to green. But here is a huge difference... Blossomgame can dribble and make layups!

And I bet you would see his blocks go up if he was playing SF/SG and not just PF like he is in Austin.

[r0drig0lac]

he is certainly more "ready" for the NBA, than half of the current roster, for the simple fact of having athletics and size of a real basketball player

White needs extended time in the d-league so we can see what they have in him. That's a decent but not great line from him. He should be almost threatening a triple-double there by the time he's an NBA-caliber rotation player. As I've said before, I really would like see Blossomgame pick up more defensive stats with the Toros. He's not making in the NBA on his offense alone. Hanlan has been pretty streaky this season. It's a damned shame he has not path at all to a rotation spot. He'd be a good Forbes replacement next season.

[SAGirl]

I haven’t watched these games but noticed that apparently Spurs have White playing the 3, as a wing and not a PG... makes sense with Pop committing to Murray/Parker/Mills that they are moving White to the wings, Hmm

White is not even big enough to guard NBA 2s, though he’d make a good combo guard.

Poop’s midget fetish has gone too far.

microball,Pop going against basketball logic

only player less than 6'6 '' in gsw is the greatest shooter of all time, the best team of the 80's had Magic (6'9 '') Whorty (6'9 '') AC Green (6'9 ") and KAJ (7'2") in his s5 and Spurs with a bunch of dwarves that can be explored by intelligent and athletic teams

[exstatic]

I'd like to see Blossomgame, Brihma, and Hilliard called up.

They have a full roster of 15, plus their 2 two way contracts. They can’t call up anyone but Hilliard and Costello with cutting someone, and they’re not cutting someone for a look-see.

[exstatic]

I see. So he is just injury insurance at this point, that's a shame.

The perspective is that the two way contracts are your 16th and 17th man, and no other team wanted them on their roster this year. Don’t expect anything.

He’s doing all that in the frikkin g-league, which is probably below NCAA compe ion. Danny Green was a god in the d-league.

With the gleague expanding teams so quickly I have wondered if the talent level aside from the 2 way contracts and assignments, is watered down.

I'd think that it's getting better considering guys are more amenable nowadays to actually playing in that league rather than going overseas.

I disagree. The g-league is really only beneficial if you think you have a shot THIS YEAR. The money and compe ive level are FAR higher in Europe. Standard g-league money is like 30K. You can easily make ten times that much in Europe, and the compe ion is better. If you’re not on a teams radar, the best way to get there is Europe. They’ll actually coach you, teach you, and play you in the second best league in the world, if you make Euroleague. Even Eurocup is better compe ion than the g-league.

i dont think we need a forbes replacement. he's already redundant with mills... and they'll try to give white a shot at minutes at the 2

I don't think we'll see all five of the top guards back next season. But even if they do have them all, Forbes walking and Paul being a possible cut makes getting another guard a good play. Hanlan wouldn't cost a pick and is under team control for three years. I think they could lock him in for a Neal-like deal and have him through the ends of everyone's contracts. One of the team's big problems recently is that they haven't been able to keep players who are outside their top 10 for more than two seasons. That's made "next man up" significantly harder. If you have a chance to get long-term deals for cheap players with upside and marketable skills, you do it and let everything sort itself out later.

I mean in general guys are not completely adverse to playing in the G-League now. Guys don't see it as much of a joke as before so the league is picking up more of that talent.
