I completely understand the cir stances that led to it, but it remains bizarre to me that we gave this guy a two year guaranteed deal, meanwhile guys like Barlow, who flashed more sooner, have to practically wait for someone on the roster to die to get a real contract.
Don't see Sidy doing anything yet in the G-League that is any more impressive than what Dom or Bassey did in the G-League. Maybe this guy eventually develops into a deep bench player.
Sidy can at least dunk the ball without missing!
Sidy 5-6 from 3 today.

That’s awesome! Not sure what’s wrong with these scrubs, Spurs favored v Brooklyn and owing paybacks and place is dead AF!?!
People are sleeping on Sidy tbh

Absolutely, he's 19!!! Ready for him to get some minutes with the main squad.
wish this kid the best but he is destined for ing some league. lmao that "buzzer beater" was a lost ball, recover, chuck it to the heavens and God answered once in 14.3%
kid sucks. sorry
Go suck a tailpipe
He's definitely going to have to sustain and even raise that efficiency over longer than 5 games if he wants to sniff rotation minutes in SA. But it's good that he's starting to look more comfortable. Even if he only learns to shoot from the corner, that was enough to keep Bowen on the floor during the dynasty years.
Good questions. To me, the contract, combined with Zollins extension and Devin's big contract, suggest not a team looking to tank but perhaps overconfident and understandably in a sort of manic phase after landing Victor. Then starting Jeremy at point guard. We'll never know exactly as they often seem to vacillate between brilliant and head scratching moronic. So hard to say their actual intentions.
I stopped getting excited about G League players after we has a guy who pretty much scored over 20+ pts a game to go with over 10 rebounds and he got called up for only a couple of games and eventually was let go.
I loved Sidy pre draft because of his innate passing skills and anticipation, NBA body and willingness to get after it on defense. If he can get anything close to a passable jumper, he could really be something. But folks need to be patient because he is really, really raw. He would have been a much better point guard experiment than Sochan.
Big kid
Young and strong
Enticing skill set
Needs to shoot better
And not get fat
Probably won't play but was called back to SA.
At this point with the state of the G-League, it's more of a red flag if you can't produce down there rather than a green flag if you are putting up big numbers. The NBA needs to get its act together with the developmental stuff; disbanding Ignite was a good start.
I think he played in France, but wasn't Sidy in G-League Ignite also ? That might explain a lot of his short comings.
I hope he gets some minutes down the stretch. I'd like to see how much he's improved.
maybe they just needed help building the new stadium
As others have said, due to unfortunate cir stances, let's see what he can do.
I didn't like the pick and I don't see Sidy ever developing his jumper to an acceptable level. With that said, I would take advantage of Vassell and Sochan's injuries to give him real NBA minutes from here to the end of the season. Let's see if he can show us something.
Gray is also intriguing as a 6-9 PF with a floor game.
If I were the Spurs, I'd start Graham and Cissoko and leave the bench mostly intact. Then run Wesley, Branham, Osman, Gray, Collins as the second unit. If Gray sucks, bring in Bouyea and so forth.
Nah, I think starting Branham and giving him basically the Vassell role is a nice oportunity to see if he's anything more than a fringe rotation player.
we all know branham will just step in at SG. he's also done so at PG and SF. he's a pet
we already know what branham does.Hes very inconsitent at shooting.Dont play defence.Cant make play for others.Doesnt really have basketball iq.
Rather others get a chance like duke jr or cissoko.
