Thanks!

I guess it's final Mr Anderson won't play. Also, no Marcus Williams there.

[ElNono]

Oh... and James Gist bitches!

[Shastafarian]

Squeaky Johnson!!!

[Manu20]

James gist!!!

[DPG21920]

Underwhelming roster.

[The Btown Spur]

I remember when Lomers played HS bball at Boerne, he was stud in HS, and he was a good player at baylor, but i remember him getting in foul trouble a lot. it will be interesting to see how he does in summer league

[DesignatedT]

I'm glad its not too stacked. I hope to see Hairston,Gist,Gee, and Temple get lots of minutes competing for these roster spots. Kinda upset Anderson and Richards won't be able to play.

Lomers sucks.

[Obstructed_View]

Josh Lomers!

[benefactor]

Gary Neal is a bit of an interesting player. He has played well in Italy and is currently #4 on DX's overseas free agent list.

[TimmehC]

No Richards.

[Spurs Brazil]

I thought Richards would play

[DynastyBuilder]

james gist!

[Biggems]

hopefully Lomers can get some quality minutes. I would like to see what he has to offer.

I know he wasn't all that impressive at Baylor, but you can't teach size.

[ohmwrecker]

I hope Carldell “Squeaky” Johnson makes the team.

I didn't catch that. He should be interesting

[Dex]

Disappointed to see neither of the rooks. Really curious to know how they look.

[lurker23]

No Anderson is a bit of surprise, but it's probably due to hamstring issues. I imagine he might make an appearance in Vegas if it's within the recovery plan, but not on the court for in-game action.

No Richards is an even bigger surprise for me. You have to wonder if they've somehow convinced him to go overseas.

It's battle royal for roster spots time for Hairston, Gist, Jerrells, Temple, and Gee. It's an important summer for all of them, but I think it's especially do or die time for Gist. This might be the summer the Spurs bring him into the fold or make him a bonafide NBA free agent.

[Obstructed_View]

Hey, what's Jack McClinton doing these days?

Edit: Damn, Chicago picked him up for SL. :bang

[ohmwrecker]

I'm really curious as to why Richards is not there . . . is he our new project big or our new Bonner?

[ElNono]

As stated by Mel_13 in the other thread, Richards seems to still be under contract with his Euro team, which precludes him from playing in the Summerleague...

I think he's a stiff.

Aaahhh . . . gracias!

Hopefully, he makes the Toros squad.

[angelbelow]

Yup - definitely disappointing to see not see Anderson on the roster. Is the injury really that bad? If not... is it worth sitting him out of the summer league?

If Gist doesn't impress quite enough to make the team but still shows flashes, the Spurs could always ask him if he wants to play for the Toros. He still has all of his D-League eligibility.

If Gist hasn't shown that he's developed a consistent shot from the arc then he's history. The same goes for every other hopeful in this roster that's not playing center or PF.

[024]

where did gist play 09-10? he shot 49% from the 3pt line in the italian league from 08-09. if he continued improving his shooting or put on some weight, he may get a nice roster spot.

nvm i found the answer. he played in the russian league and his states weren't impressive at all with 31% from 3pt. here's the link.

[mattyc]

Interesting roster.

Blair gets a chance to show some leadership and play as "the man".

Temple, Hairston, Gee, Jerrells all get an opportunity to show their wares. Hairson and Temple would obviously be looking to impress in particular.

And we get another look at James Gist. The Spurs obviously like him. Hope he plays well.

[crc21209]

It's all about The Gist this year! Hopefully he performs well...:tu

[spectator]

It's all about The Gist this year! Hopefully he performs well...:tu

man, i hope he performs. he has the length we require at that spot. however, the spurs top performer will probably be malik hairston, fueling the hairston fascination on st.

if i was a gambling man, i would bet my house on hairston performing well.

[spectator]

also, i believe that the euro leagues have a shorter 3-pt line

[timvp]

I really wish Anderson and/or Richards were playing. Not playing in summer league will make it more difficult to blossom in training camp and preseason.

Outside of those two omissions, I like the roster. I'm glad it's focused around the players who the Spurs need to take a look at. We should have a much better idea of where those players stand after the SL.

Neal is a somewhat interesting prospect. Wilkerson is an odd player to have on the team -- he was the other bigman on Marshall (Hassan Whiteside had the headlines).

[Darkwaters]

This is likely James Gist's last shot. I'd expect him to get inked to a contract for training camp no matter how he performs and then let the cards fall as they may. It's time.

[siraulo23]

Im excited to see improvements from Temple and Blair...

[angelbelow]

Hoping for good things from Gist.

[Mr. Body]

No Jackie Butler?

[EricB]

Richards NEEDS to be on the summer league team. If he doesn't get on it it'll be a crying shame. he was the only reason I was lookin forward to summer league sadly...

[Bruno]

The only player who could create a surprise on this roster is Gary Neal. He is having a very good career in Europe as a scorer. He is the name that strikes me out on this list.

For the rest, it will be interesting to look at players that still are in Spurs pipeline:
- Gist has struggled this year. Will he be back at the level he showed during the 2008 SL.
- Will Blair hit some jump shots?
- What will show Jerrells, Gee, Hairston and Temple who are battling for roster spots.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah Neal is interesting.

I imagine the Big 12 players could be allocation players for the Toros.

Hopefully Eric Dawson can play more than three quarters of basketball. His last injury was just sad.

Gary Neal could be very interesting indeed. I definitely forsee him challenging for a spot on the team.

Do we think there will be a Temple vs. Neal battle going? Honestly, if they both looked good I wouldn't mind keeping them both. But what would Neal want to come over?

Check out his profile at DX: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Gary-Neal-544/

Could get interesting...
