City of Big Shoulders Devontae Cacock

[MultiTroll]

Is there some good reason in the Covid outage season of 21-22 Cacock and his 25 PER has not gotten any more backup run since he came up?

v Brooklyn narrow 121-119 OT loss
16 min
8 pts (4-5)
6 boards
2 blocks
2 steals

v NYK
23 min
6 pts (3-5)
10 boards
2 blocks
1 steal

Any Dejuan Blair resemblance?

I like him, he's a hustle guy, but that's likely the extent of it. He's undersized to play his natural position of center, and really doesn't handle the ball, shoot, or create enough to play F. He'll make someone's club as an end of bench guy. He just has a motor that won't quit, and rebounds at a high level.

[Chinook]

I actually enjoyed watching Cacock and SOB as a front-court unit. Cacock can play the four defensively, and Jock can be the four offensively. I don't know what moves would have to happen to get Devontae into the rotation, but for a team that doesn't have any serious intentions on winning games, using developmental minutes on him isn't worthless. The Spurs badly need someone who can add size to their forward rotation, and Landale isn't the only guy Cacock should be able to play with.

[RC_Drunkford]

He's a PF without a jump shot. He's also 25. If he could somehow develop a 3-point shot he could crack the rotation. I like his motor

[KingKev]

He really should have Eubanks spot but Eubanks has guaranteed money and they are both deep bench guys.

But not the 16-28 Spurs with off again / on again Covid absentees?

Bryn Forbes doing 25 minutes a game in January. :drunk:pop::drunk

I hope all young uns from 2015 onward who are 6'7 and over with NBA aspirations on have been encouraged to hork treys.
Is it to the point you ain't getting in without a trey shot? Well there's Poodle.

?? Our 15 man roster is full. Next year, if ever. He did play during the covid.

you can not play more than 1 non-3-point shooter in the modern NBA and be efficient

Full of overpaid?
Is McForbesbot going to become another Patty, Gay, LMA eat minutes for years and then giveaway?

Right now he really isn’t eating anyones minutes as we are starved for wings with size who can shoot the 3 but I wouldn’t exactly rate that a successful signing and it’s probably a pretty tough contract to move at this point.

Exactly. Roster construction as made is failing as it was constructed.

That no one will touch McDoormats contract now is super telling. :drunk:pop::drunk

My worry is that we are going to have cap space for the next few seasons with limited free agents to pursue results in more McLovin type deals on the books.

Even if you move Forbes, you have to take back a contract. No contender will have both cap space and a roster slot. Still means we're full.

Players union thing roster must be at 15 at all times?
What the ___ kind of contract / player would we have to take back on expiring Forbes?
So basically it HAS to have a 2RP attached to it or it's meaningless?

[MultiTroll]

Thankfully Forbsie has heated up here recently so maybe some team will....

Oh nevermind.

CBA sets the max roster size at 15. The good thing is you can now have all of them active. You used to have to have two in street clothes each game, and 13 active.

Yes, a pick is the target, with an expiring, matching contract coming back.

It has only been a brief run, but Cacok looks like NBA material to me. Here’s hoping he gets upgraded from a 2-way contract to the main squad eventually like Eubanks and KBD.

[KingKev]

He should take Eubanks’ place if he gets a full deal next year. How many 12-15th men does Spurs talk want on this roster? We are loaded with fringe NBA payers as it is.

Looks like he has been slowly adding the 3-point shot to his game in the G League this year. His shooting motion is a little slow but looks fundamentally sound enough to improve upon.

[The Truth #6]

Probably has better bbiq than Eubanks, and a “nose for the ball” et cetera. A three point shot would give him a possible career, but same thing for Eubanks, too.

[Dejounte]

Cacok would be perfect for a playoff team that’s being carried by 2-3 players, not one.

[BackHome]

Agreed , he though kinda reminds me of Keldon without his 3 ball with his energy and hustle and he is an inch taller. I have been really disappointed with Eubanks he showed some promise but for what ever reason it’s like one step forward two steps back. The same thing for Tre just has not shown outside shooting at this point on who we draft I am OK cutting bait and getting better talent

Eubanks has some skill it’s I think he didn’t start playing basketball until he was 14 most players have been playing since they were 6 years old in pretty good leagues. It goes back to basketball IQ he and Walker are like PG with terrible court vision.
