    Dude how his this a bad contract look how much we are paying Millls?
    So, De Colo will be better than 10 ppg in 15', with 42.9% from 3.
    Playing Pop's backup PG, a position in which just about everybody failed over the last 10 years.

    Interesting.

    he's a better passer than i thought. i don't expect him to be a beast defensively, but how is he on that end? has to be better than neal, right?

    He probably won't be the best defender/scorer in the league but at 6'5 it will help him see the court (especially with his passing ability) and his size should help him grab a few boards from time to time.

    Great shooting mechanics and good arch on every shot, his passing looks real good too. Hopefully he can play some defense.

    And at 24 at the moment, he still has room to improve his game. He's not 28 going on 29 like Lorbek who is pretty much who he is at his stage in his career. He most likely doesn't have a high ceiling like DG but I'm sure Pop will make good use of his skills and he'll be a solid addition to the bench. Dude can speak Spanish along with French so he'll be a great communicator with Manu and TP and Boris.

    Especially if he learns from Manu the art of chaotic plays.

    Can't be worse than Neal though.
    From what I've seen he's nowhere near as bad as Neal as a defender, but he's better at defending the 2 than the 1, so he's likely to be more effective playing alongside someone like Danny (or Denmon, if he makes the squad and the rotation) who can defend opposing point guards.

    I can envision a Mills/De Colo backcourt in garbage time/last season games. Mills is the better scorer whilst De Colo is the better ball handler.

    I'm looking forward to a Parker/De Colo/Manu/Diaw/Duncan lineup. We thought the passing this past season was sick, just wait for that lineup!

    You're right -- when the worst passer on the floor is Tim, that's quite a lineup.

    The worst passer on that lineup averages 3 assists a game.

    Mills had a ridiculous PER in limited minutes.

    As long as it doesn't lead to overpassing and guys not wanting to take the big shot in the playoffs.

    Will become critical when Turiaf and Ajinça are signed.

    Good insight from RC though that they do see him in both guard roles for the Spurs. Tells me they believe he can do both well enough in the NBA.

    Well, they do think Gary Neal and Roger Mason Jr. can run the point too.

    They didn't ask Neal to play the point in his first year, and only did it reluctantly due to lack of options. Mason had actually spent some time at lead guard before coming to the Spurs, so it's understandable why they put him in that position.

    I'm surprised he didn't mention that De Colo also speaks some Spanish, which will be useful with Manu in case they wanna throw some more teams off on the floor.

    Only asked Neal to play point once TJ Ford had to retire.

    Buford had one interesting financial wrinkle. He said Mills and De Colo's deals did not come out of the midlevel exception. #Spurs
