It is about that time, should start hearing names that are playing on the Spurs summer league roster. Kyle Anderson will be the marquee player for the Spurs, probably gets the "Kawhi" treatment.

[$pursDynasty]

I'll miss the JayMychael Green Spurs Summer League and DLeague talk, he was my favorite Toro but he has played his way onto an NBA roster (the Griz), I am happy for him. He flashed more than Austin Daye or Fat Head ever did at that level. He just didn't fill a need on our roster. Not athletic enough to backup the kingslayer at the 3 and not what we need at the 4. I'll have to find a new favorite Summer/D League Spur.

[DPG21920]

My favorite was the Gary Neal SL. Sat next to his fiance at the time, Pop & RC were only a few rows away and he was lighting it up. Knew he had a great shot to stick after that SL.

That's good to hear, although I'm not sure what he can do about his lack of quickness.

That's good to hear, although I'm not sure what he can do about his lack of quickness.

Foot work can bail him out of a lot of situations if he's improved on that or anticipation of where his guy is going

[ace3g]

If he can make minor adjustments on his shooting mechanics, not too worried about his foot speed; plus he has shown really good help defense instincts.

[Mugen]

good news. Fathead can play in this league despite being one of the slowest players I've ever seen. Looking forward to his development.

Alot of notable players going undrafted. Holmes was projected in the early to mid 40's in most of the mocks i saw. I saw an mock where Frazier was a high second rounder, instead he goes undrafted.

Well that's a good sign. Let's see if he's good enough to sign. A mobile 6'8" SF would be a great addition to the Spurs depleted bench.

BTW, can't Spurs bring in Bertans?

[Chinook]

Wish the team had a guard prospect (and they might depending on yhe Splitter trade. But excited to see the front court of Anderson/LJC and LaLanne.

[ceperez]

Spurs will have to live with the fact that Anderson needs to play point.

Cojo is a serviceable guard, but he just doesn't have the IQ to setup the offense, he's tried, but he just can't see what's going on.

In fact, maybe a little tweaking of the lineups:

G: Anderson
SG: Green
SF: Leonard
PF: Aldridge
C: Duncan

2nd unit:

G: Parker
SG: Ginobili
SF: LJC (?) Caspri(?)

[jyra]

Don't know the rules thought, Davis would count towards the cap since he's drafted.


Only first rounders get guaranteed contracts according to the rookie scale. Second rounders don't count against the cap until they are signed.

I'm mildly surprised that Deshaun Thomas isn't included. I guess he's a fairly known commodity at this point. Still think that going back to Barcelona is the best option for him right now unless he gets traded.

I know nothing about them. But I mean a guy whose rights they own. Denmon and Hanga are about it for guards, maybe Dangubic if you count him as a guard. Having SL guards that aren't already in the Spurs' pipeline means we're going to see another year of scrubs and sub-scrubs hogging the ball trying to show the world they can play. It was insufferable last time when only Anderson, Daye and Thomas were front-court players of note. But this is the first time many of us get to see LJC and LaLanne.

Re: LJC - is it realistic at all that he ends up in SA this coming season assuming he plays well in the SL?

It's his unilateral decision. He's already said he was coming over (though that was in late 2014), so I think he'll be on the team regardless of what he does in the summer league.

[cd98]

The way the summer is going should be roster spot opportunities. Whelp.

[timvp]

Damn, Livio :tu

[loveforthegame]

LJC, LaLanne, Blackshear, Atkins, Cherry, and of course Anderson is who I'm most interested in.

[SpursFan86]

It's his unilateral decision. He's already said he was coming over (though that was in late 2014), so I think he'll be on the team regardless of what he does in the summer league.

Interesting...would be nice if he's a capable backup SF at this point. Saves us having to go out and find someone for the minimum. I guess they'd try KA at the 2, although him guarding SGs could be problematic.

Also saw that Nate Wolters will be playing with us...he showed some signs of promise in Philly, no?

edit: errr, Milwaukee, not Philly - think I was mixing him up with Tony Wroten :lol

[AFBlue]

Interesting that Hanga and Thomas aren't on there. Guess that says something for their long term prospects.

I like Wolters. He's a big PG who's scrappy. Wouldn't be a horrible guy to put next to Mills.

[Chinook]

Interesting that Hanga and Thomas aren't on there. Guess that says something for their long term prospects.

For different reasons. Hanga probably will never get to the NBA. Thomas would get a few chances, I think, but he has a really good chance to be an elite player in Europe.

If Eddie can find his shooting form from early last season before injury, he might be a poor man's Marco replacement.

[Chinook]

LOVE that Vegas roster.

[timvp]

Wolters would be a solid third point guard.

If Davies can make threes on a reliable basis, the rest of his game is good enough to be an NBA player.

Interesting that Hanga and Thomas aren't on there. Guess that says something for their long term prospects.

It is a little weird though that the spurs still have/allow Hanga to come train for a week or two every summer at the practice facility and yet never play in the summer league.

Is this some kind of long term play to eventually use him as a scout/liaison for these developing euro countries like Hungary? Or is he still a faint possibility?

[Chinook]

Crazy that LJC is the youngest player on the roster, though.

Barring some Nealesque breakout performance, I don't see a ton of potential in the rosters outside of the draft picks. Not a bad thing though.

Dairis not Davies.... is that his brother?

[Chinook]

Barring some Nealesque breakout performance, I don't see a ton of potential in the rosters outside of the draft picks. Not a bad thing though.

Maybe based on merit, but the Spurs have a number of open roster spots and no money allocated to fill them. Someone has to be the third PG if Cory moves on. They'll need another two-guard even if Manu comes back. Fifth or sixth big? I think at least two of these guys will get camp invites.

Maybe based on merit, but the Spurs have a number of open roster spots and no money allocated to fill them. Someone has to be the third PG if Cory moves on. They'll need another two-guard even if Manu comes back. Fifth or sixth big? I think at least two of these guys will get camp invites.

With a LA signing, Spurs are beggars and need to fill in the roster with minimum deals. So any stiff here that shows a pulse may just be good enough.

Uh.... do you see any available centers in free agency that'll take the minimum?

Maybe you aren't following the news... Spurs have ZERO centers.

Nice looking rosters this year. It's kinda nice you can actually get a little more excited too since the Spurs have some room on the in roster to potentially bring a couple of players in for an extended look if they play well...both from their team and others.

Is that a serious question, or are you just being obtuse? I don't know anything about him. In the past, that's kind of how you made a splash with Pop in summer league. See Neal, Gary and Tolliver, Anthony. Like I said, he's going to have to do something other than hit threes.

[south side spur]

Lalanne says he can shoot 3s, but that's just a skill he has not his whole game. He says his strengths are as a defender and rebounder and compares himself or studies Draymond Green, David West, Brandon Bass. He's not a finesse player.

Being a defender and rebounder would do it, but he's going to have to really dominate summer league to warrant a look with the big team.

[south side spur]

Was Ayres a summer league beast? Baynes? I don't remember him dominating summer league. Lalanne should be able to fill that role. Like a Mahinmi type. Nothing special but just some spot minutes.

[SpursFan86]

I mean, he was the 55th/56th pick in the draft. Him even being good enough to even play spot minutes in the NBA next season is far from a guarantee.

[south side spur]

Baynes was undrafted Ayres was like the 60th pick. They were able to contribute and Lalanne should be able to as well.

[TheProfessor]

Baynes was undrafted Ayres was like the 60th pick. They were able to contribute and Lalanne should be able to as well.
Ayres was picked 31st and Baynes honed him game overseas for several years. I doubt Lalanne will be contributing in any meaningful way, if he even makes the team.

[south side spur]

Well, I'll be rooting for the kid. He looks like a solid player. He should be able to take Ayres spot. It's always intriguing when the Spurs draft a kid who will actually play in the summer league which can't get here soon enough. I'm sick of all this Aldridge hype.

[exstatic]

Baynes was undrafted Ayres was like the 60th pick. They were able to contribute and Lalanne should be able to as well.

LaLanne is an Austin Spur. He'll get a TC invite, and a little guaranteed money to soften the blow of the shitty d-league check, and be cut at the end of camp.

[FireMicoHalili]

Spurs passed up Christian Wood and Cliff Alexander for him. Guessing role player potential is there.

[Maddog]

Cady did perform pretty decently against some of the bigger schools, especially on the boards, so that might translate to the next level.

If you look at his pace adjusted Stas on draftexpress he ranks pretty high on rebounds and blocks. Add in his length!, and as you point out he did well against bigger schools, I think he has an outside chance of making the final roster.

[ceperez]

Ayres is 31st pick... that's pretty high for someone with his lack of skills. I can't believe he didn't improve in the 2 years he played for the Spurs.

Hope Lalanne has enough length to make an impact. Here's an interesting stat... Lalanne standing reach is 9'2.5" with 7'5" wingspan.... Splitter standing reach is LESS at 9'1" and wingspan of 7'1".

Leonard's reach is 8'11" and wingspan of 7'3". Greek Freak's wingspan is reported to be 7'3" to 7'4".

So there is no doubt that Lalanne has length. Let's see if Chip can make him into a 3 and D dude!

Just looking at the video here: http://www.umassathletics.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/062615aab.html you think that he's some monster player!

Unfortunately, I don't take any of the recent 2nd rounders seriously until Spurs sign them to a real deal. I am sure Malcolm Thomas had a lot of impressive length as well but we see where he is along w/the rest of the 2nd rounders drafted. Don't expect much, but hope for best.

I really am hoping Anderson looks impressive and can start getting time in the rotation.

Malcolm thomas went undrafted.

[south side spur]

That's definitely what I want to see as well. This is where Slo Mo takes the next step. He has to become a contributing member to the rotation. There is no reason why he shouldn't as he looked promising when given minutes. This summer he should be filling the stat sheet flirting with triple doubles every game. 15 ppg 8 rpg 8 apg are the stats he should have. Obviously, every one will be focused on his on ball defense I'm hoping he improved there we'll see.

[Spur-Addict]

Didn't see a general Summer League thread, and I figured if I started one, nobody would really post in it anyways. But so far in this first game, Myles Turner looks good. Tyler Johnson quietly having a solid outing.

They think they have the only legitimate opinion about talent. And unfortunately, they align with the people of power.

Think of it in real life terms. If you go to the doctor with a problem, he tells you what your problem is. Your family tells you to take his advice. You yourself may have doubts, but you really should defer. You could do your own research influenced analysis, and develop your own course of action. But you probably aren't that wise, especially if you couldn't relay enough information for a proper diagnosis, from your doctor, in the first place. And even if you did, that course may actually be criminal for you to follow.

Better just to accept common practice, most of what you'll find in the dumpster is trash. You should realize that what you've found in the dumpster, is likely trash. If you found something of value, it probably won't stand up to the pretty designer alternative. It will probably contaminate the designer alternative, so shun. If somehow your trash makes it to the golden cirlce, it will still not compute. It has no recognition. It must have come from the dumpster. Gold doesn't come from the dumpster, talent doesn't exist in the kiddie pool. "Good day sir," at best. "Security, remove this drunk," most likely. Tweet encouragement to the player. If you get crap for hope, imagine what he deals with.

Caddy Lalanne speaks with a level of maturity higher than the typical rookie. I guess that's because he spent 4 years in college like Duncan.

Spurs took a gamble with Aron Baynes at 26 years old, I wouldn't be surprised if they gamble on Lalanne at 23.

He's a good project, length and confidence to take the 3 (without much success though).

If Lalanne could play like Ezeli, that's pretty good. Minus the athleticism of Ezeli.

Ezeli is bigger and has more bulk, a true center.

Lalanne's standing reach is 2.5" higher than Ezeli, but curiously he's an inch shorter.

I just don't see them as the same kink of player though. Unfortunate, Spurs need more bulk inside.

Strange, he's been in Austin for two years. Averaged 15 pts per game and shot 39.5% from three last year. Not bad numbers for a 6'6 SG. Those athletic defensive plays are pretty awesome.

[Ditty]

Will it be on NBA TV or do you have to buy that subscription ?

Happy to see Wayne Blackshear on the roster. Big Lville fan so nice to see him get a chance. With that said not sure how much I expect from him. He is a streaky shooter, he does have legit nba size though at the two though with a big wingspan and is a decent defender because of his wingspan and strength. His biggest obstacle to overcome will be shooting consistency. Hoping he can find his shot though, if he can would be a nice fill in for the absence of Marco.

[BD24]

Dang, just saw they jacked the price up to 14.99 this year for the summer league package. I think I remember getting it last year for something like 5 to 10 dollars. May break down and buy it anyway. No sports to watch in the summer and this will give me something at least. Nice to watch some of the up and coming guys.

[ChumpDumper]

The Spurs games on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday are all live on NBA TV.

[ChumpDumper]

The Spurs games on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday are all live on NBA TV.Yeah, I was referring more to Vegas when multiple games are played at the same time.

[Spurs9]

Love watching the summer league tbh

Agreed. Pretty excited this year to see KA a little more featured than last summer, finally get a look at LJC, and excited to see if Wayne Blackshear can step his game up.

[TXstbobcat]

Have Any of you guys ever traveled to watch the Spurs summer league games in person?

[BD24]

Naw man, I really would love to someday though. Hoping they move some summer league games a little closer one of these years. How Utah got summer league games this year is baffling.

DPG used to make an annual event out of it iirc.

[ChumpDumper]

Have Any of you guys ever traveled to watch the Spurs summer league games in person?Yes, Vegas is a blast because there are so many teams and players there and so much going on. It's also a relatively cheap time of year for vacations there. I recommend every basketball junkie do it at least once.

[TXstbobcat]

I think it would be cool to go to Vegas to see some of the summer league games there.

[BD24]

Yea, think if I ever went Vegas would definatly be the one. Maybe Orlando, make a vacation out of it to keep the woman happy as well. Maybe one of these years they would move it to somewhere like Austin, feel like that would be a good city for it.

I think lurker23 reported from the RMR one year too.

UNLV is tough to beat as the two gyms they use are right next to each other with concessions and merch in the hall in between them. Free parking or good bus/cab access and all the rest to do in Vegas.

Austin would kind of suck for several reasons.

I would go to Utah as part of an outdoorsy trip to the area.

Why do you think Austin would suck? Main reason I could think of is obviously the horrible traffic, but Austin is a really young hip city though with alot of things to do, I would think that would be a positive. Being in close proximity to three major cities in the form of Dallas, SA, and Houston would help attendance and make it easy for people to get there I would think.

Maybe the UT women's volleyball gym? lol

I guess they could pull off a smaller SL there or the convention center, but it would still pale to Vegas in comparison.

I'm not that familiar with Austin to be honest, would the UT basketball court work? If not it what about where the Toros play? They just had a new stadium built, I know its outside the city, from what I've heard though its pretty nice.

See edit above. They could do a smaller league like Utah but there's little point in putting another one together at this point. Three is kind of pushing it and Vegas is firmly established as an event.

[ElNono]

any legit way to watch this other than the $15 the NBA is asking for?

If you have NBA TV, they're broadcasting the first three games realtime.

Sounds a bit unrealistic I suppose. More so wishful thinking by me. I live in SA, so would be easy for me to make my way up there.

Austin is a fun city. I grew up in North Austin. my favorite city in Texas is San Antonio.

[BD24]

I actually really like Dallas, thinking about eventually moving there. San Antonio is a chill city though, Austin is ok. Don't really like the hipster vibes they have going though.

[Spurs9]

Have Any of you guys ever traveled to watch the Spurs summer league games in person?
No but I think I'm definitely going to consider it for next year. Would be awesome to check out the games in person.

[Obstructed_View]

Being torn down.
Erwin will be torn down in the next 6-15 years, so it's viable for use at the moment, and it won't be touched until something new is built to take its place.
