Pop should play this guy before Pau tbh

[BackHome]

For someone his size he has quicks hops I think out of Metu and Walker he has been called up the most? Not sure about that so correct me if I am wrong. The Spurs must like him they treating him like they have future plans for him I only wish he was two inches taller.

Yeah I think he played more this season that draftees Metu and Walker. All in garbage time though

Walker was hurt, and at this point, Metu is NBA hot garbage. He shits the bed every time he sees game action.

[SpursDynasty85]

This guy is solid. Fine with trading Gasol and him being our 3rd big. Need Gay to be healthy or get another PF.

[stu scotts eye]

Similar floor but lower ceiling than Walker. If Gasol assures Pop that he stays engaged mentally and mentors even if butthurt, then it's something to consider.

[palangi]

Just like your takes

Can’t do that. He’s a 2 way, rapidly burning his way through his 45 day limit with the big club. When that’s up, he’s in Austin for the duration.

[Pavlov]

Can’t do that. He’s a 2 way, rapidly burning his way through his 45 day limit with the big club. When that’s up, he’s in Austin for the duration.Pretty sure they could sign him to a regular NBA contract if a roster spot is available.

Like it, would have preferred Security box of Drew 'Iron' Eubanks.

[exstatic]

Pretty sure they could sign him to a regular NBA contract if a roster spot is available.

There isn’t, and I think that if that were the plan, they’d have cut QPon before the guarantee date.

[Pavlov]

There isn’t, and I think that if that were the plan, they’d have cut QPon before the guarantee date.They've cut players after the deadline in the past. If they're still under the tax and someone like Chandler Parsons wants to play for the minimum you can bet they'd be a-waivin'.

I think they're waiting for the waiver wire more than looking for trades at this point, so I doubt a roster spot opens up through a trade.

[Namundy]

You always need a couple of ogres to do the dirty work.

[playbonner15]

Oh, sure, but we're in a Eubanks thread, talking about Eubanks. I don't see them cutting anyone currently on the roster to add Eubanks. PATFO is a little bit more deliberate and planned than to let a deadline go by, and then cut someone who they will have to pay, to promote someone who is already in their system.

[playbonner15]

Dude should play tonight vs Dubs and become Drewkeem

Unfortunately, that's a problem he can't fix!

[TheGreatYacht]

How does this scrub have a roster spot over a guy like Terrence Jones....

[John B]

Unfortunately, that's a problem he can't fix!
yeah positioning, reading and anticipating defense. Put more muscles to bang. I think he has plenty to work on

[Ditty]

He's bad. Should not playing in the NBA right now.

[HarlemHeat37]

He could have been a great player in the 60s to the 90s, today just isn't suitable for his kind..

[TimDunkem]

Wait - people unironically think he actually has potential? :lmao Probably just another kid Pop likes who got a free spot on the team.

[ceperez]

The saddest thing is that in terms of performance numbers, Eubanks has been better than Metu, Walker, Moore, Heustis, .... and everyone else in Austin.

Damn that's what's up. Eubanks looked a lot better than Metu and even washed up Gasol. If he adds a 3-point shot he might already be better than Milutinov. Looks like all of our young guys are working hard to get better. This is exactly what the team needs

[DPG21920]

Eubanks looked very solid for a third c. I would be more than fine with him in that role behind LMA/Poeltl.

[MoffettBuffet]

Wait - people unironically think he actually has potential? :lmao Probably just another kid Pop likes who got a free spot on the team.

Can I just say I love your sig? It's what got me to sign up after lurking so long. :bobo

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

Uebanks will be the steal of last year's draft and will the most dominant spur in the summer league.

[FkLA]

Like I said with IB's clips, these dudes are pros for a reason. They'll hardly miss in practice. This video doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't have this range last season (in practice), or that this will translate to in-game next season.

[mo7888]

I'm really looking forward to seeing him and Metu in summer league. We should know if this range translates pretty soon.

[timvp]

https://twitter.com/ALLINONESPORTS_/status/1135283853499781120

Terrible form and slow release but that doesn't matter much for bigs. If Eubanks can shoot threes, that could make him a legit NBA player ... though this clip is far from convincing me, tbh.

[DPG21920]

I thought his defense was solid enough as a Poeltl lite. He worked hard, has pretty good movement/timing and for a third C?

[Ice009]

You're pretty much spot on.

I can't remember the exact quote (I hate to bring it up as it's from Kawhi), but Kawhi basically said there is lots of guys that can do it on the practice court (I'm one of them in regard to shooting - in game with good defense on me is another story ;) ). He said it's about doing what you've learned in practice then being able to do it in real games. I think he said this a few years ago about what the difference is between him and other guys that haven't improved as much as he had/has. I recall him saying that he's seen guys do things in practice, but they can't do it in actual games.

[NickiRasgo]

Uebanks will be the steal of last year's draft and will the most dominant spur in the summer league.

He's not even drafted.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

He's not even drafted.And that's why he'll be the steal of the draft.

Yeah, and that goes for a lot of things we're seeing prospects do. NBA players are extremely skilled, even the "unskilled" ones. A number of these guys who show surprising perimeter skills in college (and especially high school) are going to struggle to do that in the NBA, to a point that they may never do so. Shooting in an open gym is the most obvious example, but dribbling against bad players is another.

[GreekSpursfan]

Eubanks all in then, fuck.

[SAGirl]

Does he have a chance to make the 15 man roster?

He has played regularly with the bench and while much has been commented about others, Pop deciding to go with a LMA/Jakob combination puts the team in a position to need a regular 3rd big to play Center. Eubanks has gotten the nod so far. HIm staying a 2 way player is not going to be enough if he is needed on a daily basis. Has he played himself into the team?

[SpursDynasty85]

Had to bump this thread because we should all be excited and impressed with this find. undrafted in 2018. Now looking like he could compete with Poeltl and Dieng for playing time. Legit potential PF/C. If he can start shooting 3's, we have our starting Center.

[cd98]

I was actually thinking the same thing. It will be sad when the Pistons throw a bunch of money at him so he can be the 5th center on their team, but they love back-up San Antonio bigs.

[pad300]

Relax, he's locked up for another 2 years.

[John B]

I am impressed with Drew's development. If he can pattern his game with David Lee, another undersized C, busy underneath, put backs, and maybe start hitting the 3's in the off-season. He has the motor and hard work to get better.

[timvp]

Relax, he's locked up for another 2 years.

And he only has $500,000 guaranteed over those next two years. It's looking like a really good contract from the Spurs perspective.

[John B]

He gives 100% every time he's out there. That's my criticism on Poeltl that he seems to relax once he got the starting gig. It took him 20 games to learn how to shoot FT's.

[GAustex]

Eubanks nicknames:

[The Truth #6]

I like to think of him as Ed Neely's Secret Love Child, but that's an old reference going back to the 80s team. Eubanks is more talented, but has that same squatty frame and hard as fuck mentality.

I'm a believer. Quite a steal for the Spurs at his contract amount.

[pad300]

Yeah, I don't think the partial guarantee is going to be considered... Not without a car accident or something...

[GAustex]

Nope, has to be The Drewshow, after the poster...who goes yard every time.
I am good with Drewshow for both. The poster is a gas. I liked George of the Jungle cause Drew be crashing into things

[Maddog]

He's still pretty young,
Just turned 24, didn't start playing basketball till he was 16

[PrimeMinister]

Poeltl has been a workhorse for the spurs this year doing all the little shit, playing in almost every game, has his faults, but is generally a very positive asset and he still catches strays for absolutely no reason.

Drew has an interesting skill set and a very high motor. Has some of that bull in a China shop quality to him but is learning to harness it a bit. If he can expand the range consistently out to 18 feet he will have a nice career in the nba and could be a great complement to Jakob. Speaks volumes that he’s essentially quieted all the excitement about the Dieng signing, albeit he’s been hurt.

I hate player comps because there’s always someone who has to focus on every fine detail instead of the big picture of the comparison - but I see a little David Lee in his game even beyond the obvious similarities.

[Harry Callahan]

It's interesting now that the Spurs young players seem to all be improving (the ones in years 3-5). There are 7-8 very interesting players in the 20-26 age range.

They are are one top shelf player away from being a solid playoff contender. They just need that "guy" this year or next year via draft or trade.

It's clear that the Spurs put time into their young players - I hope that Luka S and Vassell can make a big leap next year - they just need an opportunity for more PT.

The team kind of reminds me of the old Pistons teams of the early 2000s. They had a collective effort with some hard working guys. Obviously these guys are not at that level, but in time they can actually be pretty good.

Paying D White and Murray appear to be good moves long term. Even Drew Eubanks looks like a very nice bench player for the long term. Just keep buildin' this thing.

[ismael-robert]

How many of yall were calling him Ewbanks and saying how you wanted him off team...typical Spurstalk experts

[Dejounte]

How many of yall were calling him Ewbanks and saying how you wanted him off team...typical Spurstalk experts

What about the people who said Poeltl would never average over 7 points and won't ever improve his free throws?

[koriwhat]

Eubanks has a great motor and doesn't take no shit from anyone... I like those qualities in a player.

[Mr. Body]

Drew has a chance to be starter quality in this league, like Theis or Baynes. Not a top guy, obviously, but he's improved a ton and I was already bullish on him, loving his motor and athleticism in the G-League. Now he's scoring with both hands on baby hooks, has developing range, and is a fucking banger. Only clear deficiency in his skill set is shot-blocking and I don't think he'll be great in that area.

I mean... one play that stood out against Detroit was an interior pass -- I think from Gay -- that he caught almost under his elbow. He has really good mits for a post player. A lot of guys don't have those.

[ismael-robert]

Disagree he's a great shot blocker

[Degoat]

Might be a reach, but if he could develop a reliable 3 point shot that would be huge for his career because he’s solid offensively around the rim

[Mr. Body]

Disagree he's a great shot blocker

No.

[Mr. Body]

Might be a reach, but if he could develop a reliable 3 point shot that would be huge for his career because he’s solid offensively around the rim

I have little doubt he can develop a good outside shot.

[R. DeMurre]

He shot 0 threes in three years of college and 2 threes in three years as a pro, so that's 2 three point shots in six years. I like his toughness and I'm rooting for him, but the idea that he'll develop a reliable three point shot doesn't seem all that likely...

Why the fuck not. Aron Baynes turned into a three point shooter.

Baynes is shooting 23.7% from three this year and 30.3% for his career.

Because that’s what this new NBA is looking for, a big who can shoot. Already he can sink 9 footers. I wouldn’t he surprised if he practice some 3’s in the off-season if there’s any chance.

If blocks is Eubanks' "deficiency" that's a pretty good sign considering he's sixth in the NBA in blocks per possession :lol

[Mr. Body]

Baynes is shooting 23.7% from three this year and 30.3% for his career.

At 32 and 33 he turned himself into an outside threat, shooting .344 and .351 from range, that second year at 4.0 attempts. Nice cherry picking stats, you mincing moron.

[Mr. Body]

If blocks is Eubanks' "deficiency" that's a pretty good sign considering he's sixth in the NBA in blocks per possession :lol

Yea, I think it was in an interview in 2020 where he was talking about how the Spurs wanted him to work on his outside shooting and where looking at the possibility of him playing some PF - Either way I am really happy for Eubanks he is a good dude and a great team mate you can tell the other players really feed off him when he does those nasty dunks.

One thing about Eubanks is he started playing basketball pretty late in life so I am hoping that he can get better - I think he can he definitely has the physical tools he just needs to put in the hours in the gym

[BackHome]

At 32 and 33 he turned himself into an outside threat, shooting .344 and .351 from range, that second year at 4.0 attempts. Nice cherry picking stats, you mincing moron.

I am thinking if Lopez can do it Eubanks should be able to do it- But in don't know if I want big boy shooting outside 3 all the time I like him fighting and throwing people around in the paint but a nice mid range or hook shoot will definitely help him get more minutes

[GAustex]

Eubanks was always a good shotblocker, he did pretty well in Oregon state.
During his first games in the NBA, he had a bad timing but he looks better now.

[BackHome]

Those opponent skinny legged defenders be looking over there shoulders when Drew be setting screens. They be crumpling on his screens.

Yeah, that is one thing that I noticed his picks are so much better there in the flow he is making the right angles and is setting them at the right time

if you know Pop you know he tells players not to take certain shots otherwise they will get yanked. Dedmon had a 3-point shot too, but Pop never allowed him to pull up. Then he went to Atlanta and shot 37% from 3

[exstatic]

Disagree he's a great shot blocker

The thing about his shot blocking is that because he’s a bit undersized, he has to max leap to get the shot, and that leaves him vulnerable to pump fakes.

[MultiTroll]

Why exactly are Eubanks minutes being limited but Gay gets + 22 min - every single game?

Drew last 10

[exstatic]

No.
Eubanks can also play PF and has multiple times.

Never seen him play with LaMarcus, Poeltl, or Dieng.

Small wonder. His first year, he played 45%/55% PF/C. That was for 122 whole minutes. Since the, he’s played 272 minutes, 97% C, and 596 minutes, 99% C. 90% of his shots are inside 10 feet. That’s not what a PF does in today’s game.

Yup and to think this guy has been getting minutes all season for the most part and gets cut immediately once traded.

It's almost like, as with Forbes, one of Poop's pets were not even NBA material.

I liked his George of the Jungle style

Appreciated the effort.

Good! He’s from up there right?

[Mr. Body]

Jesus, he played in 148 games?

[ismael-robert]

Jesus says ask Mohammed or Buddha he's got more important things to do

[Ice009]

Wow, didn't realize he played that many games (obviously some of those were garbage time minutes in games that were already lost) and was around for 4 years. Man, the Spurs really were devoid of talent to keep him around that long while Toronto cut him immediately.

Great guy, and I hope he makes it, but it just doesn't seem to me that he has the talent level to be a regular NBA player.

[John B]

He started working on his outside shots in the pre-season. But I only saw him tried maybe a couple of times in actual game. Pop probably asked him not to anymore :lol. But he should continue. I mean Baynes was able to become a decent 3pt shooter plus his hassles. If Drew does the same, I think that could be his ticket. Eubanks has great motor and great attitude, and coaches love those type of players.

[RC_Drunkford]

Another Bryn Forbes. The only thing is Bryn can actually get minutes somewhere else. I don't think anybody can understand why Pop has to play scrubs in the regular rotation that other teams wouldn't even want on their roster. It's probably cause he's such a nice guy

So basically you’re saying we’re gonna sign him to a 5M deal in the summer 2023, so we can flip him for a 2037 Top 55 protected pick and Juancho’s ghost?

It says a lot about the talent level of this team where a guy who was legit our backup center for awhile instantly got released by the team we traded him to and then could only get 10 day contracts from a team TRYING TO LOSE :lol

Unbelievable we were playing this guy trying to actually win basketball games.

Got to watching the game too late to watch the Drew tribute, but the Trailblazers announcers talked about it. How rare--and very classy-- to see a NBA club honor a player who wasn't even a starter and was traded when he comes back to town.

I bet players all over the league will hear about that gesture and it will increase the respect they have for our team management. Probably won't get us any all-Star free agents, but it might make a few give us a short consideration, eh? :smokin Very short.

Drew was a good kid the organization really liked him but business is business I did think it was a very Classy thing to do

this is an absolute joke. I wonder why they didn't do one for Juancho for those 5 minutes that he played here

Tribute would have been just going to the bank to collect two game checks :rollin

Yeah, but that's already factored in for the Spurs. It's probably the one true competitive advantage San Antonio has to offer: credibility, stability.

Why hate? The guy was undrafted but worked hard to get an NBA job, even as a backup big. I wish some of our guys had the same motor that Drew has who gives it 100% every night. Good luck Drew!

Giving a guy who came into the league and gave the team everything he had and handled everything well, even being traded, is not a joke, it's kind and it's classy. The world needs more things like this, not less. Seriously man, it's a 30 second thank you video, not some participation trophy..
