All my spurs talk capologists, Can spurs afford to sign Metu after the Bertans signing?

This should be Patfo's next move imho
He will most likely be asked to play a few seasons in Europe. Too raw to take up a roster spot.
No they need to bring Nikola over.
Metu arrived in San Antonio with a sizeable chip on his shoulder. “If you ask me, I don’t think there’s 48 people better than me in this draft,” Metu said. “I’m trying to prove to myself that I’m better than a second-round pick. I can go out there and compete with anyone else.”
He is quick and versatile and can move well enough to defend along the perimeter as needed. “He can stretch the floor a little bit and open up passing lanes,” assistant general manager Brian Wright said. “He will also be able to play some with his back to the basket and some in pick and roll, and then help you on the glass and help you some with his shot-blocking. He has a versatile game.”
When the team resumes tournament play Thursday against Milwaukee, Metu will be in street clothes. “It sucks,” said Metu, the high-energy center the Spurs selected 49th overall out of USC in June. “I can go play right now. They said it might be fractured, but honestly it feels perfectly fine.”
Metu said he understands the Spurs’ caution but is frustrated by what he views as a missed opportunity. “I’m kind of bummed,” Metu said. “They’re being cautious for good reasons. I trust them. At the same time, I feel like there’s a lot more I could go out there and show.” – via San Antonio Express-News
As a mid 2nd rounder if he gets a second contract, let alone crack the rotation in his first few years, he will have done pretty well for himself. He has the tools though.
Certainly has a thousand times better at ude than Kawhitter.
As did anyone who played out their contract last year
I like the kid.
Wonder if he makes the team day one, he’s got to fit the modern nba skill wise better than Joffrey did right?
Maybe he should go to New York for a second opinion
If I have to choose a comparsion for Metu, he looks a lot like a Draymond Green type. Can play center in certain line ups, can shoot from outside and can be a more than decent defender, he can jump high and can attack the rim.
i like this kid at ude. keep working on your game specially ball handling like Randle, Green and Anderson. i guess they see in him to not sign Kyle. I like Putney too but somebody give the guy a sandwich. Gaymond will go through that body
PAFTO treating Metu like he's an asset.
are you trolling? you really compare him to a generational talent like green? don't do it, green is like magic johnson meets dennis rodman meets cedric maxwell...
I don't think he's saying he is another Green. He just said he's that "type" of player.
He looks to be an average rim protector already but his size suggest he would get scored on in the post and may get out muscled for boards. I am definitely ok with giving him a spot and seeing how he performs in garbage time but it may just be better to keep him in g league if it's only garbage time. I actually like Cory Jefferson at limited minutes over Metu.
it still a blasphemy...
More important than basketball is if he damaged his jack off hand. Pafto looking out for what matters
Maybe he should go to New York for a second opinion
