Jamaal Franklin has been in SA the last few days working out for the Spurs

Wouldn't be the worst idea if Franklin could can consistently guard PGs like Green can. However, I'd like to see Anderson's ability to play the offensive point at this level before giving him that role over Joseph.

Insert Franklin and drop Daye.

Franklin is a defensive specialist, Anderson is way closer to Ginobili than he ever will be imo.

That said I like the idea, would be even better if they got rid of Beli to make room for him, would be such an improvement by subtraction... And you have Anderson as a secondary playmaker/PNR ball handler to replace Beli anyway...

TD Splitter
Diaw Beasley
Kawhi Ginobili
Green Franklin
TP Anderson


That team would be fun to watch .

Franklin initiated the offense his Jr year at SDSU, so he's a bit more than a defensive specialist. Despite have no real jump shot, he consistently got into the paint to create or draw contact. He averaged 6.8 FTAs per game that season.

Did the same in the D-League last season.

Suprs love them some big playmaking guards.

If Chip can fix his shot he can be a nice addition.

If he can get to the rim and play defense, but isn't a great shooter, I'd still be interested. If Chip thinks he can help him at all with his shot, he'd be a very good prospect to have.

He's with the Laker affiliate in the DLeague now:

If the Spurs don't keep Green for the rest of the season, I hope they give Franklin a look.
