@TheAthletic

@Stadium
. Bouyea’s averages over last three G League games: 29.3 points, 11.3 assists, 9 rebounds, 2.3 steals.

Damn, I wish they took my boy Alondes Williams

Posted in the Barlow thread, but for those wondering: Barlow was officially converted to a standard deal…hence the open two-way spot.

[CorrectCrusader]

Finally more Barlow minutes

[MultiTroll]

Can Barlow or Bouyea throw an entry pass to a wide open Wemby?

[Russ]

In retrospect, after reflection, could this be that turning point in the Spurs' reemergence, that magical moment?

Probably not.

Spurs 3 two-way players (Bouyea, Gray and Duke Jr.) are born in 1999 while the oldest Spurs starter is Tre Jones who is born in 2000. Other Austin Spurs players are also all born in the 90's. Austin Spurs are objectively an older team that San Antonio Spurs. When you think at it, it's just unreal to have the development team being older than the first team.

[RC_Drunkford]

he's definitely showing out in the G-League. Could he be better than Blake Wesley?

��movin on up!�� my boy looks like George Jefferson out there ballin hope he pans out

[Dejounte]

Although it’s just a small g league signing and he could be here for only this season. Some speculation on my part:

he’s 6’2”. Looks like the Spurs are pivoting away from their philosophy of having a taller than average point guard. The Truth #6 (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=6189)

On the Spurs, being on a two way means you are on a developmental pipeline and the end goal is to have them converted to a standard contract as Barlow did and KBD if I recall correctly (if not KBD, someone else). I think Barlow is going to get rotation minutes next year.

Spurs’ philosophy has always been to let the player naturally progress year after year, with the player seeing increased minutes. Next season I see Barlow getting those regular rotation minutes because he has graduated from spotty minutes.

i see the natural evolution like this:
if you are starting as a two way gleague player on the spurs,
Year 1) max minutes in Austin
Year 2) spotty minutes on the main SA team
year 3) regular bench minutes in SA
Year 4) starter

^if the player was drafted late first round, they start at #1 (Wesley).
if the player was drafted in the teens of the first round, they start at #2 if there are vets on the team (Lonnie) and #3 if there are none (Malaki).
if the player was drafted in the top 10, the Spurs will place you at step 4) a starter as we saw with Sochan.

back to Bouyee…

i wonder if they got this guy because he resembles Trae: short, strong scoring, strong passing point guard. Maybe they want to see how he fits in practice and if a player of that archetype really fits with Wemby

[Maddog]

Good move
But done at a cost. We've lost Mamadi Diakite.

[jeebus]

Wonder if Pop is going to start playing the other scrubs more at this point in the season to see if they're better than Branham or Wesley.

[Atl Spur]

This kid can dribble and shoot…… let’s see what he can do.

hope so....we already know they are not good,And most likely wont be here long.Im suprised branham still been getting chances
along with collins and champ.

[John B]

Boo-yah!

Branham has an nba skill set but lacks assertiveness ( Lonnie walker esque ) but will be given chances during these next couple of years to prove he belongs. He could really pay off in the future but depending on him now as a major piece would be a mistake!

[widowmaker]

All of these guys the spurs pick up off the g league look like jordan then they show up to the big team and turn out like adam morrison.

[Atl Spur]

Miami has a great track record for unearthing talent….. let’s see what he can do before bashing him because he took the g league route:) He may suck and that’s ok but if he can play we have found maybe a cheap functional player aka team building.

[rjv]

Here endeth those God awful Patty Mills suggestions.

[Chinook]

Good move
But done at a cost. We've lost Mamadi Diakite.

"Lost."

[Dex]

The power of the bald spot has returned!!

[Knoxxx]

Branham has looked decently lately, do YOU PEOPLE actually watch the games?

Spurs just cycle through prospects to eventually find a gem who can become a rotation player

[z0sa]

Bou-yea!







I'll see myself out.

[Frenchfred]

The Spurs want to see what a small PG with no defense and long range can do for the team and evaluate if a Trae Young option would be a good one.

[Mr. Body]

I'm convinced of two things:

1. SpursTalk members have no idea what they're looking at when they watch basketball. Things happen on screen and they watch, drooling, like whatever the nurse put on like inmates at a mental institution.

2. SpursTalk members are like the gross, booger-streaked group of morons at the back of every elementary classroom who try to impress each other with the same tired witticisms and jokes because they're desperate for attention.

Great find on this stat… this is insane.

stop it dude....Same thing can be said about collins.This year has been terrible for them.

[objective]

RaiQuan Gray was a teammate of Vassell at Florida State (with Patrick Williams also), so I watched a ton of him. He was like dollar store Draymond in college, and he has only played one single game in the NBA like moonlight graham.

In the final game of 22/23 for Brooklyn, off the bench he put up 16, 9, and 7.

[John B]

He’s only 24 and turning 32 with that hair

Bend over and I'll give you the same tired witticisms and jokes

[KobesAchilles]

He matches our GL starting SF. Might as well surround Wemby with nothing but GL players. It would be cheaper

[John B]

Don’t we have Graham already?? I really would’ve given 22 yrs old Killian Hayes the reclamation look and see if he can improve. A better defender and who has a chip on his shoulder as a 7th pick.

That would require thinking outside the box, something this front office is not capable of. They are capable of kissing the nba office’s ass by signing g-leaguers and thereby promoting the g-league. Maybe it will lead to better draft order?

[ace3g]

We need him called up just for one game.

No disrespect intended towards my male pattern baldness brothers... but what purpose does a guy with this hairline serve on a 2-way (supposedly developmental) slot?

[CGD]

Just bic that shit bro!

lmao was about to post the same thing, and he's only 24! huge red flag.

that said, dude needs to just shave everything, he looks preposterous

[exstatic]

A steadying hand at the wheel for a team that’s been disorganized as shit for years. I was honestly shocked to see that they have a winning record.

[dbestpro]

He has one job. Get the ball to Wemby when he is wide open as it seems no one else on the team is willing to.

Bouyea has not yet,nor will he likely play any NBA minutes.
