Official 2016 Summer League Thread

[Mnky]

Anderson's form look much quicker than before. I'd love to see him shooting like that. Always said he has to be a spot up shooter to be truly effective. Definitely looks bigger. He showed good burst a couple times, but net average is still slo mo. Good to be getting size. Can't be small and slow. He could be good if he takes his role serious. He can't realistically have the ball 90% of the time. He's still young. Honestly, if he had been a draft pick this year and show that performance, people would be showing him much more love. He has always been a project/prospect. People tend To forget that. I won't take away that he has looked absolutely horrendous at times, that's to be expected with a project though. You're finding out what works.

Simmons looks more sporadic than I would like. His confidence is definitely up though. In all honest for less than a million, he's a great bargain slasher to have on the end of the bench. Once more, perspective should be kept.

I honestly really like the awareness of the national title kid. Maybe people don't watch him off ball enough. Polar opposite of Parker, moves the ball at first opportunity like a pg should. Keep people in rhythm.

Forbes looks good. I read the article where pop told him to keep doing what he does best. Would love to have a confident young shooter coming up to replace mills eventually. Not a great ball handler, seems better than mills though in that regard and he had zero turnovers. Could be an opportunity there. Spurs obviously saw something to offer a year contract.

Looking forward to seeing bertans, Murray, livio Milutov like everyone else.

[Obstructed_View]

There is room for negotiation, but not really. Players get the full 120 percent literally 99 percent of the time. The Spurs are pretty well known for not doing it, and that may be the case here. But Buford said it was a timing issue, which to me simply means that they are trying to use his hold rather than his real salary. That's standard and really shouldn't cause issues, but again, Paul is an asshole. He's not looking out for his player, seeing as the summer league is a League-sponsored activity and a team would absolutely be responsible if the player got injured.

What he's doing is creating an antagonistic relationship between the player and the team from jump street. That may make sense in some organizations, but the Spurs treat their players like family for the most part. Instead of coming off like the protective guardian he's supposed to be, Paul is coming off like a girlfriend who's always trying to get you to not hang out with people she disapproves of.

This was what I was wondering about. If I'd just been picked by an NBA team, I'd be participating in everything they'd allow me to do.

Kirk giving up and ones lol

[BillMc]

750427284905996288

Damn. I really want to watch Lorbek play

[Killakobe81]

Glad to see Kyle playing well ...I think he overrated by some on here and hated on way to much by others.

[Keepin' it real]

#27 is tall and can run like the wind. He's the magical "big who can guard the perimeter" that spurstalk is pining for.

[TheGoldStandard]

Simmons looks so blah..

[lilbthebasedgod]

Like Simmons' recovery on defense there.

[SPURt]

Not seeing much outside of Anderson. Gross.

[SAGirl]

Nice playmaking by Simmons in this game... He's most definitely looking to pass... just guys are not making their shots.

[raybies]

Anderson needs to play four

[SAGirl]

Not much from Cady yet.

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons looks so blah..
You're probably confusing him with the other Simmons lookalikes, he's playing well

[TheGoldStandard]

This summer league group is trash.. lol.. Lets fast forward to the Vegas team.. please hurry

[TheGreatYacht]

Really wanna see Kyle play next year without Manu. He might be like Joseph was, just not a good fit next to the washed Argie

[ceperez]

I think Simmons needs to sit, he's just manhandling these kids!

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons at 800k might be the best contract in the NBA for a role player :lol

[jyra]

Anderson can't let Wood beat him off the dribble.

[raybies]

Wood looking good.

[Keepin' it real]

Cady poor start.

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons and Arci :tu

[jyra]

Good to see Forbes making his shots.

[raybies]

Anderson shot looking silky and Forbes still not missing.

[raybies]

Forbes! Sign him already!

[NikosChelsea7]

750444302824726528

[TheGreatYacht]

Forbes looking like a good backup plan just in case the 39yr old Argie doesn't know his worth :tu

[NASpurs]

Bryn "Choo Choo" Forbes

[Keepin' it real]

Forbes! Sign him already!

He's already signed.

[r0drig0lac]

this guy can score

[ceperez]

Forbes! Sign him already!

He already has a one year contract.

[raybies]

Bryn "baby splash" forbes

[SPURt]

Kirk just made the team! Lol

[ceperez]

Forbes and Simmons, nice combo!

[Bartleby]

Nice passing!

[NASpurs]

Holy fuck that was nice :wow

[raybies]

Yup while golden state Is building a dynasty in the big leagues we are building a dynasty in summer league.

[TheGoldStandard]

Forbes looking solid

[ElNono]

He's not an experiment, KA's already confirmed he's an NBA talent. The only question is how good can he become. Shit some team probably would have given him 5-8 million/yr this summer if he had been a free agent.

Not to imply Kyle is shit, but teams throwing stupid money at shitty/unproven talent is the reason 90% of the league is shit, tbh... The Spurs have been generally better than that.

[lilbthebasedgod]

Forbes looks pretty good.

[wildbill2u]

Forbes can shoot the 3s. Anyone been watching his defense?

[Bartleby]

Still not sold on Simmons but Forbes looks like a solid pickup.

[NASpurs]

Bryn Automatic Forbes

[TheGreatYacht]

Who the fuck needs a skinny beta with a Jones Fracture, when we have Forbes

[ceperez]

Forbes looking solid

Very impressive shooting percentages!

[raybies]

I've seen enough of Forbes. He's a star.

[SPURt]

Much better second. The combo of Arc/Forbes/KA/Simmons played very well. Cady didn't show much of anything.

Wood should end up on the Sixers. He looks good

[Chinook]

Forbes can shoot the 3s. Anyone been watching his defense?

Dude competes. He's not shutting anyone down, but he's not getting beat either. Easily the best of the three non-guaranteed prospects.

[SAGirl]

750444302824726528
The new big 3! :flag:

But seriously though... guys have to grow up. Simmons plays well when he sticks to his strengths, not so well when he tries to do too much. Anderson a bit of a work in progress still, but just him shooting that jumpshot more willingly will make a difference, specially as he seems to do a lot of PnP at the 3 pt line now.

There is a bit of wild play at times as passes are made to guys who don't have much rhythm, chemistry, and stuff of that nature. Arcidiacono has been solid handling the basketball. Forbes is just a very nice scorer. Would feel comfortable with him on the floor TBH. So much better guards than the SL had last season IMO.

[SPURt]

I don't think there's a vet min guy on the market that can shoot like Forbes.

[ceperez]

I've seen enough of Forbes. He's a star.

Steph Curry clone in the making!

[raybies]

Bryn I wanna score more Forbes

[jyra]

What's the deal with Cady only playing 4 minutes in this half, still working on his conditioning?

[r0drig0lac]

Arcidiacono makes the right play every time

[Bartleby]

Arcidiacono makes the right play every time

He will be great in Austin.

[TheGoldStandard]

Very impressive shooting percentages!

His stroke looks smooth and not slow.. That's the most important thing.. it can translate to real NBA games.. Good to have in the pipeline

[ceperez]

Arcidiacono makes the right play every time

You need players like him in SL... otherwise its just chaos.

[r0drig0lac]

He will be great in Austin.

yes, he reminds tj mconnell

[TheGreatYacht]

Mitch picking Brandon Inbust over Bryn Forbes :lol

I see you lurking Killakobe81

[NikosChelsea7]

He will be great in Austin.
Is he fully guaranteed? He would easily find a team in Europe

[Keepin' it real]

Forbes looking solid


Forbes looks pretty good.

I've seen enough of Forbes. He's a star.

B-b-but he's tiny. He'll be a defensive liability.

[SAGirl]

I hope Forbes is not left in Austin TBH. If I am Patty Mills I would be worried.

[lilbthebasedgod]

B-b-but he's tiny. He'll be a defensive liability.
I agree. He looks good but we shouldn't sign him unless he proves he can cover taller people. Something he hasn't shown yet.

[ceperez]

[QUOTE=Keepin' it real;8657670]

He's got the same height as Steph Curry, but with a wider wingspan.

[wildbill2u]

Anderson can't let Wood beat him off the dribble.

He can't? Looks like he can't help it to me.

[SAGirl]

anderson 4 point play.
Let that 3 rain down Kyle!!!
:flag:

[TheGoldStandard]

I hope Forbes is not left in Austin TBH. If I am Patty Mills I would be worried.

Let's not go too far. lol.. this is D League talent and guys trying to stay in their lane..

[From Downtown]

KA with the 3 and 1

[raybies]

I hope Forbes is not left in Austin TBH. If I am Patty Mills I would be worried.

Yup. With all these guards were looking at and with the cap we need I think the option to trade him would be greatly increased with a breakout guard.

[SAGirl]

Cady uggghhh.

[TheGreatYacht]

All those empty seats... Spurs are basically playing at the ATT Center

det home court advantage

[TheGoldStandard]

Simmons with some herky jerky moves

[TheGreatYacht]

Ben Simmons ain't even the best Simmons there, tbh :wow

[turkish spurs fan]

galatasaray looking for guards from summer league. is there a guy who can score in our summer league roster ? (euroleague level)

quinton decosey?

[TheGoldStandard]

Arcidiacono with the smart steal and pass

[lilbthebasedgod]

I really like how well simmons is finishing and how he's avoiding dunking so much.

[SAGirl]

Simmons is a beast in transition. that is the core of his game.

[turkish spurs fan]

any stream ?

[SAGirl]

Arcidiacono with the smart steal and pass
number 1: great help and steal
number 2: unselfish play and nice pass
:tu

[wildbill2u]

Wish Simmns would quit whipping those cross court passes into the stands. Got to cut down on the unforced errors when handling the ball.

[raybies]

I can see why the spurs signed Archie to a two year deal, he's like a prototypical spurs player. Unselfish, hardworking etc

[Kawhitstorm]

He's got the same height as Steph Curry, but with a wider wingspan.

Seth Curry 2.0

[Chinook]

I can see why the spurs signed Archie to a two year deal, he's like a prototypical spurs player. Unselfish, hardworking etc

He ain't Forbes tho

[SAGirl]

Anderson the 3 again... keep shooting.

[TheGoldStandard]

That 3 ball is falling for Anderson

[r0drig0lac]

any stream ?

rojadirec..

[NASpurs]

Arcidiacono with the smart steal and pass

Very solid player with nothing that stands out about him but he seems very team first oriented .

[TheGreatYacht]

That pass by Simmons to Arci, and then to Kyle :wow

We got our backup SG for next year, folks

[TheGoldStandard]

Dang that jumper is looking nice..

[jyra]

It's nice that Arci is unselfish but at some point you have to show some type of scoring ability. There is absolutely no reason to guard him if keeps passing off the ball at every opportunity.

[TheGoldStandard]

Very solid player with nothing that stands out about him but he seems very team first oriented .

That's how you know he's doing his job correctly.. Just playing the game.

[cd98]

Wish Simmns would quit whipping those cross court passes into the stands. Got to cut down on the unforced errors when handling the ball.

Unfortunately, he's entering his prime. This is as good as he'll be for the most part.

[TheGreatYacht]

Forbes has Klay's shooting form

[SAGirl]

Simmons finally a 3.

[Spurs Brazil]

Forbes is on fire

[NASpurs]

That's how you know he's doing his job correctly.. Just playing the game.

If this was an NBA 2K game, he would have the icon "Floor general". :lol

[SAGirl]

Anderson PnP 3 is a thing.

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes....bang!!!

[From Downtown]

Kyle's shot looking good

[Bartleby]

Anderson looks like he spent some time in the gym this summer.

[wildbill2u]

Andeson showing he can hit the 3. That could be so important for his future.

Cheers. I found it on ILP. Thanks.

[cd98]

I haven't watched a game. Is Forbes playing PG? If so, how are his handles? I'm guessing he won't make it in the league as a 6'3 shooting guard. He's got to be able to handle the ball and play PG.

[SAGirl]

Kirk started whipping jumpshots its over Philly.

[SAGirl]

I haven't watched a game. Is Forbes playing PG? If so, how are his handles? I'm guessing he won't make it in the league as a 6'3 shooting guard. He's got to be able to handle the ball and play PG.
the better ballhandler is Archie, but he's been fine for this league.

He can handle the ball, and he'll make the league with a shot like that IMO

I think he'll make it as a 6-3 shooting-guard. His shot is that good.

[tmtcsc]

Forbes is a player. I like that kid and hope he makes the team. He is showing the type of shooting and aggressiveness the Spurs need.

[GSH]

Let's not go too far. lol.. this is D League talent and guys trying to stay in their lane..


Yeah, I was just about to say - remember how Danny shot the 3, before NBA defenders started paying attention to him?

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Manu

[Spur|n|Austin]

Simmons with 30 points at the end of the 3rd.

Btw did anyone see that tweet on the screen that said Anderson is the 2nd coming of Paul pierce ? Who was that from lol

[TheGreatYacht]

I just hope pop realizes that
I hope Spurstalk realizes that. Need to stop living in the past

[Chinook]

They're going to have to sit Anderson and Simmons in Vegas. It just wouldn't be fair.

[wildbill2u]

The cool thing about Simmons is how in control of his body he is, even when his move to the basket looks kinda awkward. And he is strong enough to continue to make the play and finish when he gets bumped, giving him an ungodly number of 'and 1' attempts.

[TheGoldStandard]

They're going to have to sit Anderson and Simmons in Vegas. It just wouldn't be fair.

Especially if Bertans is signed by then.. spread em out and just execute

[sasaint]

Btw did anyone see that tweet on the screen that said Anderson is the 2nd coming of Paul pierce ? Who was that from lol

I turned to my buddy and said that was not the consensus of opinion on ST.

:flag:

[SAGirl]

I turned to my buddy and said that was not the consensus of opinion on ST.
Until the day comes we lose Anderson like CoJo and he is some eastern conference finals killing Kevin Love he will not be legit for some fans here.

Hopefully we don't see that come to pass and he's killing it for us in our own WCF.

Has to keep shooting the 3.

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons is the WestBrick of the SL.:lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Can someone please get a gif of that Kirk miss

[xellos88330]

Wtf was that Kirk?

Was that Forbes who turned that over?

[r0drig0lac]

Kirk is turrible

[Bartleby]

I hear Benny Hill music every time Kirk touches the ball.

[Chinook]

Kirk :lol


Kirk... :lol


Wtf was that Kirk?

Yet he's still been worlds better than Cady.

[sasaint]

Even in SL I don't like seeing this sloppiness.

[TheGreatYacht]

Whoever sees positives in Kirk's game :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Yet he's still been worlds better than Cady.
Doesn't take much when he hasn't touched the ball, tbh.

[SAGirl]

Kyle that board though... ugggh

[TheGoldStandard]

Forbes saving the day

[sasaint]

Whoever sees positives in Kirk's game :lol

But which game? With his skill set, I'm thinking he might be pretty good at volleyball.

[SAGirl]

Kirk is turrible
have to imagine that those passes to a big in the paint are dunks in the real leagues.

[sasaint]

Forbes with a big bucket.

[TheGoldStandard]

Kirk is just there getting some hands on experience for the next book he writes.. I bet he wears a tweed jacket with elbow patches

[Spur-Addict]

Forbes has a cannon

[SAGirl]

Ready for this to be over I am cooking and can't watch this nailbiter at the end. so many TO

[TheGreatYacht]

But which game? With his skill set, I'm thinking he might be pretty good at volleyball.
:lol

[Spurs9]

:pop: Kirk can backup Bonner

[sasaint]

:pop: Kirk can backup Bonner

Kirk is Ayres .25

[SAGirl]

Just thought of these though our boys can score, defense and TO need major work. Pop not pulling these dudes yet. I bet he is pulling his hair right now.

Drawn up play by Will Hardy a mess.

Simmons and Anderson are probably spent after last nights game.

Give it to Simmons

[turkish spurs fan]

no possibility that arcidiacono to play in nba with that body.

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons and Anderson are probably spent after last nights game.
Only Kyle, tbh. People are saying he put on weight... Doesn't look like its muscle weight

Doesn't much look like Patty, but what do you expect? He's Boris' successor.

[SAGirl]

uggh Pops popping a vein right now. :lol

Forbes hitting clutch free throws... he may not be spurs material

[wildbill2u]

Forbes is a very nice additional 3 pt. shooter. Look out Patty.

Simmons and Anderson are probably spent after last nights game.
Definitely jumpshots not falling. Kyle started hot but faded at the end and the hustle wasn't there. Simmons TO machine most of the game unfortunately.
Win but ugly win.
:flag:

[Bartleby]

23 pts. on just 10 shots for Forbes. Impressive.

[wildbill2u]

Simmons can't play if he is going to be a turnover machine. That's been his problem since joinging the Spurs. Can score but can't think his way out of tight spots.

[TheGreatYacht]

He's more like Jalen Rose.:wakeup
Luke Walton :wakeup

[SPURt]

Assy 4th but overall the Spurs have more talent then they had last year in the Summer League.

Simmons looked good overall, but those turnovers were a deal breaker. Kyle also looked like a legit NBA player though he also crapped the bed in the 4th.

Forbes is an amazing shooter. I didn't love his ball handling and, like every rookie, defense is a question mark. He has the Steph Curry thing where you almost expect every shot to fall and when it doesn't it's surprising.

I also like Arci's game, he reminds me of Andre Miller. Like Forbes, defense is going to be the hardest adjustment. It's interesting to watch him try and figure out the speed of the game with his passing. He had two bad turnovers, but overall, he can be trusted with the ball.

Thanks for posting that. Is Lorbek really hurt (there were reports of a calf injury last night) or is that just staggering minutes/opportunity in SL?

Didn't play for 2 years because of injuries. Got a shot at making an NBA roster... Gets hurt in warmups :lol

I didn't take the guy seriously as soon as I googled him lol.

Yeah, we could use a playmaking big off the bench. Sounds like he's done. Hope I'm wrong.

[GSH]

That's one hell of a line for Simmons, if not for all those TO's. That could cost him a career.

Caveat: the fugly parts of this game I only saw from the kitchen, so I only caught glimpses of the game in the second half. The real ugly half. But I do think he was the guard off the bench.

[Mnky]

It's summer league. He's supposed to be pushing limits and testing things out. Where else will he get the experience from? He's on the team, going nowhere. Sure he has free reign to go wild and figure it out.

The ugly parts of the game were the only parts I saw. Only tuned in when we were up by 23. Cummings showed some nice court vision. Made a couple of nice passes. Forbes hit a big shot to stem the Philly flow and made some clutch free throws. Even in SL I like to see guys who want to finish strong and win. If you can't hit clutch free throws in SL, you probably got no chance in the regular season. I think we know who our backcourt candidates are - except our newest acquisition Olivier Hanlan. I am eager to see a big or two in the next league. Our cupboard is very bare at the moment.

He's a little manu-esque in his drive and kicks. You never know where the pass is going to cone from.

Plus he is on a team where guys don't quite know their spots.

[SAGirl]

That's one hell of a line for Simmons, if not for all those TO's. That could cost him a career.
When he sticks to his strengths, he's a stud. The parts where he tried to expand his game is when he did out of character things getting too wild with errant passes and forcing things too much and out of control. I can't imagine him being so ball dominant in the pros however, which could control his TO and his play.

Cady was disappointing. Many passes from Kyle to the bigs inside turned to nothing and some were tacked as TO (though they were nice passes) bc the big can't catch a ball, Kirk got the ball inside right under the basket but couldn't do anything about it. I missed Hanlan... can't recall him at all.

Hopefully Milutinov looks like something. Cady was pretty invisible. I am starting to wish we had Ndoye in the team.

Bertans better show something too besides shooting.

lol Crazy batshit TO in the second half along with guys looking spent and missing jumpshots they had previously made. lol I was obviously trolling you a bit in a friendly banter fashion bc you do love to troll me back, in all good natured fashion. :tu It's not like all this isn't going to happen in the Regular Season. I am getting ready for Turd Towers 3.0 name calling... Hopefully not. :lol

Hanlan was not in the boxscore. I don't know how SL rosters work. He probably got dropped from Utah's SL team, but i am guessing we don't have a slot for him on ours...?

I didn't think we went in with a full summer roster. But it wouldn't be to fair to him with no practice though.

Yes, apparently he was dropped prior to the game. I expect him to be suiting up with SAS soon.

Simmons was on New Jersey's summer league team and moved over to the Spurs. That seemed to work out well.

[siraulo23]

Forbes only issue is his size, but otherwise his shot is silky smooth

He'd be an undersized SG like patty that moves and shoots really well coming off screens, an undersized poor man's jj redick :lol

I'm not sold on Simmons. If he continues to have statistically dominant SL showings, I'd explore moving him for a future pick. He's not enough of a shooter, to my mind. However, he can get to the bucket. Warriors will not have much, if any, rim protection and Parker can't exploit those holes anymore. But can Simmons be trusted not to give possessions to the other team?

[tim_duncan_fan]

6'3 is decent height, especially when you're challenged for points from the 1 and 2 spots.

He shoots the ball and it goes in and he's young and he'll be cheap. Sign that ninja.

"So some teams also offered money. The Spurs went a bit further, giving Forbes a one-year contract. If he makes their roster in training camp, he’ll earn the rookie minimum salary, around $543,000. If he doesn’t, he’ll still be under contract with the Spurs, paid enough to agree to stay with the organization for one year — even if it’s spent in the D-League — instead of going overseas and perhaps making six-figures there."

[ceperez]

Wow.... finally he's shooting those 3's without hesitation. If he's doing that, we don't need Diaw who hasn't stopped hesitating.

His jumper is so much quicker this time around. Fluid stroke. Can still see him thinking mid-maneuver, which can cause both good and bad things, but I really like what I'm seeing.

Hopefully he can be an anchor for the bench crue this year.

That stroke looks faster and more sure, for sure. Pop's going to give him the green light this year. He wanted to last year.
Man, I hope this newfound ability to let it fly sticks and works out for him. He's got a pretty shot, now that he's sped it up by 2 full seconds.

He looks alot more ready than Murray. Murray can't shoot and may be a liability in offense. I expect Murray to be with Austin most of the year.

So maybe Forbes gets to play in the regular rotation.

I can see it. I also agree with whoever posted earlier that some of his TO's can be attributed to players being completely out of sync and him trying to expand his gameat the same time, mistakes be damned in the SL.

I'm going to need to watch the game again to look at that and see where the blame can truly be placed, if it can be...

I wish I could agree. I know one was a bullshit moving screen call, but most of them were just not taking care of the ball. There were a couple of times in the first game that he and Kyle were instructing people on where to be, but Simmons is not passing to spots, he's getting too deep and leaving his feet or dribbling into traffic, slnging the ball around. The worst part is how many turned into a layup attempt on the other end. He had some spectacular blocks in the game, and I think every one of them was following one of his own turnovers.

But this is his time to make mistakes. I have no real problem with him just using these games to get some rhythm. If he's still turning the ball over like this in Vegas, it might become a concern. I'm sure Pop doesn't believe there's any excuse for having 13 turnovers in two games. :)

[HankChinaski]

Forbes has a nice quick fluid shot. Moves well on the offensive end of the court. Was watching this game and last night's game off my phone while at work so couldn't focus on how well he handled himself on Defense. Seems like he is working himself a solid shot on being on the upcoming seasons roster.

Much quicker release too. He made a couple last game too. The highlights are a few pages back. Definite improvement. This part of his game will translate anywhere. Might look like a MIP candidate with increased role, and improvement in his shooting, which would be great for the Spurs bc they need him scoring. Diaw and West were unable to pull any bigs from the paint. Here's to wishing him a good season.:toast

I have to say, of the two, I like Kyle better. Especially with this quicker, confident release he's been displaying. He plays more in control and you know one of Pop's favorite sayings: The team that makes the least mistakes, wins.

I hope Kyle jumps out to a great string of games at the beginning of the season to build his confidence to keep doing what he's doing here. He could be a very unique player and a potential mismatch on many positions at different times in a game.
