Does Demar have a future here as a stretch four?

[raybies]

Could you see a Murray, White, Walker, DeRozan, Aldridge closing lineup? Could that be our future?

hmMMHHMhhhmm

quite honestly I don't think he can lockdown 50 year old vince carter

[Dverde]

No way. I could see him being a small forward in today’s NBA.

[timvp]

I mean ... he kinda has a point. Due to the composition of the roster, DeRozan could play quite a bit of power forward. Now, calling him a "stretch four" is pushing it because the guy is unlikely to stretch a defense.

[raybies]

i just don't see any other way it works if they are serious about retaining DD. You have to at least allow room for growth and although we should be hopeful, I guess it's easy to expect our young 3 to develop like we think they can. I just don't know how you afford them all.

Bingo.

He can be the 4th guard in a 4-guard, small-ball rotation when playing against other small-ball rotations and survive...but he's not really a 4 and doesn't really stretch the floor.

[BatManu20]

More of a Stretch 5 tbh.

[spurspl]

yeaa sure why not and aldridge as a pg...

[gospursgojas]

Getting a little carried away with one 3/3 shooting night.

[XDT76]

I don't even like him being a 3 not to mention a 4.

[sananspursfan21]

Oh no. Is small ball really getting this far out of hand???

[KobesAchilles]

Yeah I think we can trade him for a stretch 4. I assume that’s what OP meant bc otherwise he’s high af.

[dbestpro]

No more than Tony Parker could have a stretch four.

:downspin::clap:lol

[SpursDynasty85]

He has already played PF a lot last year. Is he a permanent PF? No.

[duncan2k5]

I don't even want him on the team at his natural position

[GAustex]

DDR best position is on some other team as long as some sort of value is gotten back

[Poolboy5623]

Stretch the floor to what? The free throw line??

He played the four 4% of the time last season. I still don't think you call him a PF, even when he's at the 4, but I guess that's just semantics. But a guy who made 7 total 3-pointers in a while season isn't a "stretch" anything.

Surprised it was only 4%. With more and more gaurds needing to play, it will likely go up from that. I am excited to see if Demar is actually planning to shoot those 3's more regularly and to see if he can succeed. Before going to SA his 3 pt usage was going up. Naturally, Demar is a point-forward more similar to Lebron than a stretch 4 for sure.

[wildbill2u]

If we need to protect a lead or get a stop, the rotation team should be LMA, Poetzel, Walker, Murry,White.

[Raven]

no.

[NASpurs]

I would like to see him play as a stretch 3 first.
