David Thorpe:
"10.Pick a player you are surprised is still in the NBA. My choice is Austin Daye. I think you'll have a tough time picking a bigger surprise"https://twitter.com/coachthorpe/status/542440195031695360

LOL. I'd have to agree. Everytime he shoots this season, I cringe. It's not a good thing when you are suprised when a shot goes in.

He rode last season's 22 point, 6 for 10 3 point shooting in the Philly game all the way onto this year's roster.

I read somewhere that Austin Daye has the highest usage rate on the Spurs behind Tim, Tony and Manu. This guy doesn't stop shooting.

It's his only chance of remaining in the NBA beyond this season.

John Salmons :lol

I thought he was unofficially retired already. Same for Jason Richardson.

Kobe Bryant

Yes, and Bryant is also the player his team most wishes was not in the NBA.

Bryant is 117th in Adjusted FG percentage. And #1 in salary.

But it gets better...imagine how awful he'll be next year.

Oh shit I remember thinking Salmons was good a few years ago. :lol

HAHAHAH me too, until one idiot I had select my fantasy team for me because I was out of town picked that bum in the damn 7th or 8th round and I bitched at him all year about his stupid ass later picks (He is not even a 10th round pick). He was flat out horrible in 012, never thought a guy could be that bad but he was. I remember him actually being decent so to speak, never really saw him play much though.

I agree fully.

Austin Daye shooting ok so far. Hopefully David Thorpe's diss is waking him up.

Tim Duncan if you gauge it by how one-legged he looked in 2009 and 2010, no way I expected him to be here (and improved) as we moved into 2015.

Fortunately, the pit crew kept those wheels on. The loss of weight, the new knee brace, and a changed role all did wonders.

And, he doesn't play defense anymore either.

But at least he's a good teammate.

I was more surprised when ORL gave him a 4.5m/year contract. They change their GM, but the dumbness remains !

Good point.. i remember thinking in 2011 that ill be happy to get one more season from Tim. 4 seasons later he's got 5 and putting up 16-10-3-2 with a PER of 22 :lol incredible.
