Any word if McCallum was added to the Spurs roster?

Any word if McCallum was added to the Spurs roster?

He's not listed on the roster on the Spurs page on NBA.com, but who knows how fast they update such things.

[ceperez]

Kyle Anderson may be wondering now why 3 other Spurs players that are eligible for summer league play aren't in the roster:

McCallum
Simmons
Marjanovic

I think this is the Knicks first summer league game. If so, it will be the world's first chance to see Porzingis in a Knicks' uniform.

I'm rooting for Bertans to make the Spurs. Hope we have the best Latvian on the floor tonight.

Saw that. Wasn't Tim listed at 7ft alongside David, so they could be part of a twin 7ft towers schtick, but then he magically shrunk an inch when Robinson retired? Those height listings are a joke tbqh.

I'm really hoping Simmons is on the team now.

Does anyone know if teams are able to add to their Summer League team after the deadline to set the roster? I seem to remember it being pretty fluid but not as much this year and last year.

They have Breen/Frazier (the MSG commentators) on NBATV as well, so I don't think it matters what feed you're watching.

He's already more athletic than Dirk ever was, tbh.

I doubt that Porzingis will ever be the shot creater Dirk was. But he doesn't have to be that to still be a really good player.

They literally haven't stopped talking about Porzingis since this game started :lol

[loveforthegame]

KA really is beginning to lose my support.

He's been very disappointing. Bummer.

[r0drig0lac]

simmons

[Darkwaters]

Kyle Anderson has already missed an easy floater and gotten smashed by a complete Porzingis block.

Lalanne's first shot was way off the mark.

Jean-Charles has already missed a shot and tallied 2 fouls.

Jerrell Eddie should have been credited with at least one turnover already (but apparently wasn't) on a really sloppy play.

Not an auspicious start.

[TXstbobcat]

Just got home from a movie and turned the game on. Looks like I missed some crappy Spurs defense.

[BatManu20]

Simmons is easily the best athlete on the Spurs SL team. Not even close. I think he's prob going to force it a bit today though now that people are really watching him.

I cringe every time he has the ball. Hes just hard to watch. It seriously feels like a turnover waiting to happen every time he touches the ball.

[2centsworth]

Solid passes by Dairis.
He's the best player on the team IMO. Eddie looks terrible so far

[FkLA]

Like I said from the beginning Kyle Anderson is trash. Just a bigger De Culo.

That's what I meant. He Could Be another Dirk, only more athletic.

Yep. Darius reminds me of that older guy in your pickup game. Not quite as athletic, but he knows what he's doing out there.

[CP48107]

I like this Simmons kid

[tmtcsc]

Let it be known: Although Kyle Anderson may be slow, he also can't jump higher than a piece of paper.

I think its time Anderson visited Italy or China and learned some humility and what it means to get a chance to play in the NBA. This dude....

He's probably ashamed he has to play in Summer League. He'll say all the right things but then comes out and just sucks. Or more to the point, maybe he just sucks and doesn't belong at this level.

[RD2191]

God Bless Clyde Frazier and Mike Breen. They have to watch a lot of Knick basketball this season.

best local announcers in the league tbh, along with the Heat IMO....

[Darkwaters]

Simmons is obviously juiced up quite a bit. Probably just ecstatic about the contract and just eager to play some hoop. But if he can come in with this kind of high octane, cavalier play next season he might be a nice sparkplug energy guy in short minutes. Never a bad thing to have.

Regardless, if you asked me which player on the floor was the Spurs 1st rounder I'd probably say Simmons. Already totally outplaying Anderson tbh.

[2centsworth]

holy shit Simmons can play

Jerrell Eddie has been built up by some of our posters as a great prospect. The game that I watched him play with Indiana was very pedestrian. Like 4 pts.

I wouldn't get too excited. It seems we found our SL standout with Simmons.

Finally able to watch the game....and we had two straight turnovers.

Maybe I should just turn it back off.

[KDKSpurs24]

I wouldn't get too excited. It seems we found our SL standout with Simmons.Eddie is a one dimensional player. That one dimension is usually better and more consistent than any one thing Simmons does, though Simmons does many things better than Eddie.

That's the difference. The Spurs already made their choice.

Yea that needs to improve, but I don't see him handling the rock much with the Spurs. Mostly a 3&D guy who can slash with his athleticism from the wings on pump fakes.

Hes definitely not a 3 and D guy at all. A huge amount of his game is that slashing. He can definitely shoot from distance, but I think his game's foundation is more on that slashing ability. Also, while his defense is solid, it isn't his calling card either. He looks like a multi-faceted scorer who won't be a limitation on the defensive end.

[2centsworth]

He'll probably be in Austin again. If he shoots like he did before his injury last season, he'll be called up.

does Simmons consistently bring energy?

[Spur-Addict]

Good slashing by Simmons

[TimDuncanDonuts]

Simmons is very aggressive

[tholdren]

Bertans is too slow to play dense in the league; worse than Parker.

Second, this is TERRIBLE defense by SA. Watch the defenders 2 passes away, they should be halfway between their man and the ball for help, they are practically face guarding and turning their back to the ball... meh.

[duncan2150]

very aggresive this simmons

Trollol

[ChumpDumper]

does Simmons consistently bring energy?Yes. The knock on him in inconsistency. From game to game he can give you double digit scoring, assists or rebounds -- but almost never more than one of those. Then the performance you saw in that game completely disappears in the next. It's weird and frustrating. The energy is always there in some form, but overall effectiveness isn't.

[ElNono]

if you reach = you're slower than the offender, or stupid. Either thing Spurs fans don't want.

Only fags aren't on the Simmons hype train.....

He's either slow or stupid.

Early 10pts, 6/7 ft, 2 assists..... Getting d'd up real well...

[Darkwaters]

Anderson's handle is terrible. He can barely lead the break without almost losing the ball on a silly turnover.

[2centsworth]

Can he finish though?
finishing at the line just fine

kyle anderson face guarding 2 passes away... fail

His fast break game is on par with Tragic Johnsons.

[tholdren]

lol SIMMONS almost got dunked on for turning his back... LOL defense is awesom... lol you guys are idiots.

[Ellsworth]

Yes. The knock on him in inconsistency. From game to game he can give you double digit scoring, assists or rebounds -- but almost never more than one of those. Then the performance you saw in that game completely disappears in the next. It's weird and frustrating. The energy is always there in some form, but overall effectiveness isn't.
Great next step for him (to learn from a guy like KL)?

Simmons getting worked by early... slowowowowowo terrible defendererererer.

[Darkwaters]

Bertans' shooting touch never came back...

Maybe by the end of the summer league but the bricks are adding up for him.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Got damn Simmons

[steeledl]

This is actually one of the coolest days we've had in the past few weeks here in vegas.

[ChumpDumper]

Great next step for him (to learn from a guy like KL)?More like DG I imagine.

[random21]

Simmons taking it to the rack.... Drawing fouls......

[Darkwaters]

Please don't take ANY advice from Danny on floaters though.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Nice pass from Simmons

exactly what SA needs. good find.

[steeledl]

If Simmoms can penetrate and find the open man like he just did.... he will play a lot of minutes.

Our starting PG got worked by Galloway so not sure what you're getting at, tbh

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Weird that Livio and Cady haven't played this quarter

[TXstbobcat]

Nice move by Simmons!!!

Holy fuck Simmons is Dwade

Some nice hesitation moves all over that drive. Good to see him finish too. Good play all around for Simmons.

[random21]

Simmons drive in/layup all over the #4 overrated pick......

[Cactus Jack]

Simmons nickname "the Slasher"

exactly what SA needs, agreed. I think the are bigger on McCallum though, right? That's kind of exciting.

[Darkwaters]

Anderson with a dynamic defensive play at the half.

Very nice!

[loveforthegame]

11pts, 2rbs, 2as, and 3stls. Not bad for Simmons.

[tholdren]

Simmons looks much better and NBA ready than Anderson. SAD.

[BillMc]

Simmons looks pretty good. KA had some moments, I must admit.

[tholdren]

11pts, 2rbs, 2as, and 3stls. Not bad for Simmons.
very similar halftime stats for the man he was defending; Early.

Anderson probably the 5-6 best player on the court... do do.

[FkLA]

Galloway looks pretty pedestrian when he isn't being guarded by Enrique Porker.

Simmons is the truth. Best player on the team by far.

[Nathan89]

KA has no chance of playing this year over Simmons. That must suck to have that possibility taken from you over night.

[wildbill2u]

I wonder if Simmons is just over-amped for this game because of the contract or if he always plays with this intensity. He plays close to being out of control sometimes, but its better than being too cool and unfocused.

[Darkwaters]

I definitely buy the story that Simmons is wildly inconsistent. If he played this solidly all the time I can't imagine he'd be available off the scrap heap. He will probably have games where he lights the world on fire and follow them up with ghost games (or high TO games if his stats are to be believed). Just have to reign him in and focus him.

[DesignatedT]

If that ends up being the case, it's not that surprising lol. You realize Simmons is 25 and Anderson is 21 right? Simmons also has two years playing with the Spurs D-League team as well. Guy didn't just get picked up off the street or something.

[tholdren]

Im getting that you are overvaluing his defensive worth, especially when getting beat in Summer-League when trying to prove he is NBA material. Take it down about 3 notches and you will survive.

[TheGoldStandard]

Simmons playing like he has something to prove, thankful for the opportunity

[BillMc]

Isn't the knock on him is that he's consistently inconsistent?

[2centsworth]

they are not good

Um, you are one of KA's biggest supporters. Shocking to hear you say this.

Thats true, besides Spurs love ¨Andersons¨.

[RD2191]

Simmons had a rather unorthodox path to the NBA. If he had stuck with a college team instead of bouncing around he'd of been in the NBA a few seasons ago.

He actually kind of did, tbh.
