    I don't think he is as bad as his numbers indicate, but his numbers are bad.

    A stretch four/five with God awful shooting percentages across the board.
    not THAT bad, for 4th or 5th option and 14 mpg

    I guess he is just a younger Baynes with some more range and less grit.

    People are dumb.

    He's a Euro White. Most people would say that's your typical stretch 4.
    He was used as a stretch 4 in denver and it wasn't a good fit. His shot isn't consistent enough yet.

    His mobility is his biggest strength. No doubt about it. He does a good job as a dive man and also is decent at cutting to the rim when holes in the defense open up and he comes off the three point line.

    I could never get a Guage of his iq in denver. Malone had them all screwed up rotation wise and really did all three of his bigs a disservice from a confidence perspective. There was no rhyme or reason to his rotations. Completely unpredictable.

    Malone is a strange bird who tries to be hands on with everything but the end result is no control and a chaotic system. I want to pUT most of the blame on the coach and give the players the benefit of the doubt but I think it's a little of both and a good bit attributable to having no one to run the offensive show.

    So here's hoping his i.q. is decent. It seems to be. If so, I like the signing and he will learn and improve. If not, low risk move.

    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



    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



    Not as good as pre injuries Splitter, but 6 years younger and healthier. He can be a minute eater in the regular season, which is probably why this spot didn't go to Splitter. If they're only going to have 3-4 traditional bigs, they need to be durable and have stamina.

    This is a good signing, and JL will be a solid situational/matchup bench option for the Spurs' frontcourt, particularly as an offensive specialist. He's proven to be an effective scorer on all 3 levels, with his 3pt shooting improving every year. He's a solid rebounder (more than 11 per 40 minutes for his career), and while not a shot-blocker he's not a liability on defense either. He's only 25 so his NBA game still has upward trajectory left. Good teammate, too. Nice get for the Spurs.

    Opposite of what we need at the center position, we need someone to rebound, protect the rim and anchor the defense, too bad we didn't go after Dwhite...

    And I'm not griping about the deal - it's likely the minimum and does no damage to cap space next year. There is a limited market that fits that. Just don't love his offense and especially his defense. I would like someone I could see helping, but he's still decently young.

    But man, this defense has me worried.

    Joffrey, Gay, Mills, Murray, Forbes, White, Bertans. Lot's of poor defensive players.

    Danny/Kawhi/Maybe Simmons if he's back/LMA/Kyle are the only good defenders.

    Not sure what's funny bro

    Have you seen chicago utilize him? They were begging him to shoot. Only real explanation to that is his race. Tbh.

    He never played for Spurs, contrary to Parker and Diaw

    Worried about the defense as well. We have no rim protectors at all. It's looking really porous at the moment.

    Good thing that's not his only skill. He shot solidly from mid range in 15-16 and teams seemingly wanted him to extend to the 3pt line last year. He has some dribble ability and isn't as slow as Pau so that also helps balance his game.

    He's got ok mobility for a big. Really not clear if he's as bad defensively as his denver days. Hard to be decent with atrocious perimter defender. Maybe he'll flourish and be better with better perimter and team defense.

    He really is a better player than his stats indicate. Try not to focus on those. It will make your outlook gloomy for sure.

    most of the casual vanilla posters on here hating the signing would've loved Montejiunas and his stats. Joffrey is better (and healthier)

    Speaking of meh signing tbh... Joffrey in a Spurs jersey ? I did not expect dat one

    He is a big time fan of Boris but I hope people don't expect a Bobo kind of player, they are going to be disappointed.

    He is a hard worker and young so there is that...

    I think the question for him is can he be a good shooter? Pau Gasol only shot more than 26 threes in a season his last year in Chicago when he shot 69 and made 24. There was nothing to suggest Pau would shoot over 100 threes and shoot 54%. Joffrey took 98 and shot 34% from three last year. His shooting percentage and volume grew after joining OKC. Still, nothing looks to suggest he is anymore of a "stretch" big than Pau and that turned into fools gold come playoff time (18 attempts/33%).

    Joffrey looks like a role player that hasn't found his niche. He is only two years older than White and three years younger than Dedmon. As long as the contract is cheap this could be a solid signing.
