Spurs sign Joffrey Lauvergne

[DPG21920]

Joffrey kind of got shuffled around alot last year. Hard to base anything off of his last year.

The year prior to that with Denver I use to watch the Nuggets a decent bit. I thought they had 3 talented young bigs in jokic, nurkic and joffrey, with joffrey being the least talented.

He has a high motor and moves well and rebounds okay. Doesn't play a tough brand of basketball though.

He shoots way too many threes, or at least he did in denver. In a good offensive system with spacing and alot of cutting I think he can be a useful player.

He has the ability to move his feet laterally so he shouldn't be a complete liability when defending the pic and roll.

But absolutely no rim protection at all.

So basically the opposite of how SA currently plays.

This feels more like a "we need a big" signing and 'he's willing to come for the min" than something actually solid. Not expecting much and will be a downgrade from Lee or Dedmon most likely (for sure on the defensive end). But I guess if he's fills an end of bench role and doesn't eat into 2018 cap space, I get it.

[Ron Swanson]

in' staaaaaaacked!

There's some truth there. He fits the 'beautiful game' much more than what we are playing now.

He's going to be stricly a diveman. He was poorly utilized by most teams forcing him to be a spread player because he's white.

He's real assest is in his ability to roll. This wi Help Kawhi, Murray a lot

[adonis827]

seems to be more mobile but less defense than splitter

[SPURt]

Finally someone to compete with Darymond

If that is the case - we will see. But everyone seems to be calling him/using him as a stretch. That is my beef. I also don't like how if your only real skill is to be able to dive on offense, you should be a plus defender (like Dedmon, Tiago, etc..). He's awful on defense

[Leetonidas]

He has some touch around the basket and as others have mentioned he seems like a solid roll man something we have been lacking. Not going to be a ground breaking signing but if it's a cheap signing not a bad deal for us

Kind of. I think joffrey can be polished up a bit and can work in most offenses. He still seems raw to me and could improve in the right situation

People are dumb.

He's a Euro White. Most people would say that's your typical stretch 4.

So, is this guy like a Tiago that can shoot?

Plus this.

He'd be a great 10th guy playing the Aaron Baynes mintues.

I'm convinced PATFO read my thread. I swear I was calling for his name a few days ago.

[cd021]

Seems promising. PATFO stay finding big men diamonds in the rough tbh

[phxspurfan]

Bonner?

Teams forced him to shoot.

He can't shoot though and isn't anywhere as good as splitter defensively.


Very good rollman though.

I should get hired by the vertical. Know way too many sources within the orgqnization.

apalisoc_9 with a direct ear to PATFO

This Euro inbred sucks. Shouldve gotten Tiago, he is working his ass off.

The void left by Woj makes you the obvious choice, tbh.

[SpursforSix]

Parker vouched for him. Swore on his left quad that Lauvergne is the real deal.
