Quinndary Weatherspoon Staying With the Spurs

Two-way contract. Not bad. I liked his defense and aggressiveness to the basket

[Dejounte]

Yes!

[exstatic]

I liked what I saw in the bubble. If our starting lineup improves with the departure of Forbes, our bench could be elite. They were always digging us out of deep holes, but they may have the opportunity to take us from even to ahead, or ahead to way ahead. We’ve got two backup PGs in Q and Tre that can pretty well lockup NBA backup PGs.

[Dejounte]

Q can guard wings as well since he's so strong, gets in position correctly, and has long arms.

So underrated by Spurs fans.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

He sucks. A taller version of Forbes

[Dejounte]

He sucks. A taller version of Forbes

We know who doesn't watch the Spurs.

[Joseph Kony]

He sucks. A taller version of Forbes
a guy who plays defense should never be mentioned in the same sentence with Forbes

Watch the defensive play in the first clip. He's pretty fucking good.

[GAustex]

The Q fluffers may be right. I have not seen enough of Q to say one way or the other-tho-IMO

[Dejounte]

He straight up abuses the ball handler at 1:09

[BillMc]

Glad to hear it.

[Dejounte]

He's a Marcus Smart-type player.

[RC_Drunkford]

Quindary can be a decent back up guard. Good defender and was the go-to-guy on his college team. The guy can shoot. Definitely would like to keep him long term

[LurkingSpursFan]

Always like Q...Could become a solid bench player if he improve his 3 pt shot.

[Dejounte]

Q ... 6'3" height with 6'9" wingspan

Marcus Smart... 6'3" height with 6'9" wingspan

[exstatic]

They found him at Portsmouth, a year after they found White there.

[r0drig0lac]

good

[SpursDynasty85]

He always looked composed out on the floor his first year. Hopefully he adds those NBA skills like defense and 3 ball into his game and he would be a fine backup. Good guy for Tre Jones to compete with.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

We know who doesn't watch the Spurs.

i haven’t missed a game in 34 years. He’s slow footed and no offensive burst. Can’t really make a play on his own.

[BacktoBasics]

I would agree he’s a bit Mario Elie-ish but he has all the makings of solid glue type player. I’d rather have that than a guy like Forbes.

[exstatic]

Poop gave Bryn the minimum in 2017 which was 520kish and Spoon gets fucked...... Maybe its the luxery thing... but godamm I'm still besides myself.....

There were no two way contracts then, or he would have been on one.

[MoSpur02]

At the 45 second mark or so he fights through the screen and forces his guy into a horrible shot. He got called for a foul, but that really wasn’t a good foul call. I think he is a solid bench player who doesn’t mind playing defense, which is already an upgrade over Forbes.

[BackHome]

So who is better Q or Trey?

[exstatic]

So who is better Q or Trey?

Trey. It’s just good to have multiple options.

[timvp]

Good news. Q is a good prospect for a two-way. I'm already confident he's good enough defensively to be an NBA player. He's strong, hard-headed and moves his feet well enough to defend players of various sizes. For being as short as he is, I wouldn't put it past him to basically evolve into a player who can defend wings a la Marcus Smart. Offensively? I'm far from sold. He doesn't have much vertical pop, which will hurt him finishing wise. I don't see plus quickness and his jumper is flat. But Q is really tough so I wouldn't put it past him to evolve into like a miniature Jerome Kersey who thrives due to determination and will. His ceiling is probably a fourth guard but he'd be a valuable bench cog if he reaches his potential. There's probably a sub-50% chance that he's still in the NBA in two years but there are avenues for him to make it -- which is about all you can ask out of a two-way player.

Worst case scenario, Q adds more toughness, defense and fearlessness for another season :tu

[ceperez]

I guess Spurs 2-way contracts will be Weatherspoon and Tres Jones.

[timtonymanu]

I’m still rooting for this guy.

And hopefully he adds some competition for minutes. It’s not a stretch to see him become Pop’s pet as a way to motivate the more talented players to do better and earn more minutes.

[phxspurfan]

2 way, knows the system, 15th man...hustles, plays D (not fake D) ...fine w me

[ginobilized]

He's a dawg. Perfect signing. BTW, Forbes is gone!!!!!
This team is going to be fun to watch.

[Rummpd]

Another nothing move by a FO that used to be stellar.

[SequSpur]

Lmao at Exstatic. Foh, this dude isn’t very good

[RC_Drunkford]

Although he lacks footspeed and athleticism, Quindary can at least shoot the 3 and has some playmaking ability. He knows how to run a pick & roll and is a good passer. Besides him being strong and being able to guard forwards as well, he should at least become a serviceable 3-and-D player.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Limited player, but at least he plays D.

Bruce Bowen was one of my favorite Spurs because of the defensive tenacity he brought every night. I love watching guys get after it on defense. If nothing else, this year's team should be a lot more fun to watch than last year.

[John B]

Q is bullish and will not backdown, a pleasant change from Bryn/Mills, except Mills would take the charge. Regardless, I see the Spurs fighting for every possession. Q and Tre as backup PGs is pretty solid. This might be unpopular, but I would start Vassell over Murray for obvious reason. Vassell is a better shooter and potentially better 2way than Murray.

White, Murray, Quindarry
Vassell, Lonnie, Mills,
Demar, Keldon, Diop
Aldridge, Gay, Luka
Poeltl, Eubanks

The small ball would be even nastier:
White
Vassell
Keldon
Demar
Aldridge

I would too, because Vassell is an offball shooter, similar to the role Forbes was playing last year (although he wasn't really good at it) and his help defense would be nice to have in the starting line up. I totally see Pop starting Murray/Mills though

Get the hell out of here with that Murray / Mills bad juju. I just got fucking chills.

[GAustex]

Oh yeah poop has it in him to roll with patty as a major contributor.
I would trade patty ASAP. Without Manu and Tim he is just not that effective

[Chomag]

Like the guy but I'm still confused why we have so many guards

[SequSpur]

Dumb

[Mr. Body]

Like the guy but I'm still confused why we have so many guards

Because they're all young and we don't know which ones are the best fits yet.

[DesignatedT]

Don’t understand Pop forcing Murray into the SL so early. White has always been the superior PG and needs to start there. Murray need to come off the bench and take on the Manu 6th man role.

[RC_Drunkford]

I dont get this board, benefactor says something... and it becomes cannon

How can a guy who was 207 lbs at the combine and who ran the 3 quarter court sprint in 3.16 seconds with a 31 inch standing and 38 in Max leap can be called "un-athletic" ?Especially by dudes on this board. its is beyond me.

Sure there are guys who can run under 3 and some who have 40 plus but man you're really speaking out of turn here when you attempt to make those observations and judgments and expect reasonable people to continue to take yous seriously.

WOW!!!

Damn those are his combine numbers? I haven't looked into them, but if that's the case then this shouldn't be a problem at all

[R. DeMurre]

Some people were saying the same about D White-- that his fundamentals were good, and helped to overcome "average" athleticism. Except White's combine numbers were outstanding: three-quarter sprint time of 3.08 (97th percentile historically) and standing vertical leap at 35.5 (99th percentile historically).

A big part of this is the widely-held beliefs that white => unathletic, and jumping => athleticism.

I don't get what you mean-- are you saying those are myths, or that those beliefs have weight? It's true a player could have great jumping ability, but not necessarily be agile. But I think in White's case, excelling at all of the combine times shows something else.

They're definitely part myth, and widely-held misguided/obtuse views. You make my point, and as we were discussing, White had impressive combine outings yet isn't considered athletic by many - as is Spoon. I'm in the camp that both are great athletes and deserve a spot on the roster, can't wait to see them improve next season.

Ah, gotcha... yeah, totally agree.

[RC_Drunkford]

my comments were more so directed at the things TimVP was pointing out. Maybe it was his knee injury, but on film he doesn't look to be that fast or athletic. The combine numbers are good, so the jury is still out, but I think off his skillset alone he can find a niche in the NBA
