Who Will Be The Most Improved Spur Next Season?

[davi78239]

Now that we've inked most of the roster back, who will it be?

[T_MONEY_TX]

Frankie Elson, if he can stay injury free i think with this season under his belt his speed at the 5 should lead to alot of fast break points.

[Kobulingam]

Now that we've inked most of the roster back, who will it be?

Brent Barry. The effect of not having Barry on Spurs next season will be a huge positive.

[T Park]

Jackie Butler and James White.

Jackie Butler and James White.


I sure hope so!

[El_Mago]

JAMES WHITE.

I have believed in this kid since the beggining.

Even if he does not play here next year, I think he has improved a whole lote and learned so much here in SA>

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

It's either White, Bonner, or Butler. I can't choose one.

[Kori Ellis]

Hopefully it's Bonner, because he'll probably get even more of Horry's minutes in the regular season.

I wish it would be Elson, but he hasn't really shown in his career an ability to improve.

I don't know if Butler, Williams or White will be here yet, so I'm not going to wait to see who is here when the season starts.

[Darkwaters]

If White makes the roster and gets some time on the floor I think he'll seriously impress. He looked really good in the limited minutes he got last season.

That being said, I think Bonner will have the biggest leap because Pop has already shown that he will play him and Bonner has a skill-set at his position that nobody else (save the aging Horry) really has.

[Texas_Ranger]

White.

[djohn14]

Elson

[picnroll]

Gotta be Beno. Lots of room for improvement.

[ancestron]

Fabricio Oberto

[thousandth]

Fabs.
He'll play better and better like in the Valencia or Tau.

Elson, Bonner and Barry for NOCIONI!!

[SpursDynasty]

Fabricio Oberto...

Remember when you guys were yelling "Trade Beno and Oberto" in February??

[AFBlue]

My gut says Bonner because he was the closest to getting a rotation spot last year and there might be some opportunity for him to increase minutes or get into the regular rotation.

My heart says Butler, because IMO he has the most talent of the unproven guys and if Elson doesn't step up, I could see Butler overtaking him in the rotation and never looking back....though I think the first scenario is more likely.

[manufor3]

bonner

[Sam]

Matt Bonner...he starts his basketball camps next week for two weeks and he has his charity concert. After that he has set a regiment of running Loon Mountain, swimming, lifting weight and around 4 hours a day in the gym. He knows this is his year to prove everyone wrong and he doesn't want another injury.

[BeerIsGood!]

Tony Parker - the Frenchie improves every year. This year he'll shoot 88% from the line.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Tony Parker - the Frenchie improves every year. This year he'll shoot 88% from the line.
And 47% 3 point range. :smokin

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

with absolutely zero pressure on him and great knowledge of the Spurs philosophies look for mike fin's shooting perc. to be through the roof.

[lebomb]

White

[Sam]

are you bonner's brother?
Nah, Luke's at UMass working out.

[satexan77]

Jackie Butler and James White.

Yep. IMO its like having two first round picks just waiting to really contribute....I think both are better than the guys taken after #15 in this years draft. White could stand to gain 10-15 pounds of muscle to handle the pounding and it would help his D. Butler can be a low post banger-scorer if he reports to camp in shape. Odds are better for White because of the style of play in the West but Butler could be that off the bench low post scorer we need.

This is Barry's last year (and I think will be moved by the deadline) so I see White really taking over that 2nd SG/SF option off the bench. If he and Manu are on the court at the same time that could be a ton of fun.

[SAGambler]

I think Bonner because I think he gets a lot of minutes this year.

[fuckespn]

If the plan is to keep Manu the 6th man forever either white or williams starts by the end of the season

[EVAY]

Bonner.

[bdictjames]

Im hoping it will be Udrih.

[xamila rey]

Bonner,
and if the question was:
Who was/were The Most Improved Spur last Season?
i would say Oberto and Finley.

[exstatic]

White has the best shot, since he was basically nothing last year. Williams can't "improve", since he wasn't here last year.

[justanotherspursfan]

Im hoping it will be Udrih.
I'd be with you, but I've pretty well given up on his lazy ass. He's been a disappointment for way too long. I hope we pawn him off on someone else and find someone else worth taking a look at.

Gut feel, Butler will have Elson out of the center rotation by Christmas. He'll never be a top-notch defender in the post, but he's athletic enough to hold his own, and he could be an awesome scoring option inside when Duncan's on the bench.

[O-Factor]

I hope its Bonner as we seem poised to work him into our rotation. If he can come off the bench and do the little things that Horry does for us, he would of been well worth the 3 mil a year...

[RogerIsEatingASandwich]

Probably White or Bonner.

[barbacoataco]

Hopefully Tony Parker will be the most improved player. If he can step up another level from his Finals performance, the Spurs will be a two superstar team.

If Barry is traded then maybe James White take off.

[Tippecanoe]

james white

[Avitus1]

I'd say White because he'll get mins to shine, and I'll throw Barry in the mix because the mofo was doing good at the top of the season and then fell off, but hopefully he'll pick it up this season. If we trade him Spurs will be doing extra better.

[RADECK]

Beno Udrih

[raspsa]

Probably Bonner.. he was progressing nicely til he got injured.. I expect him to shine this year eating into Horry's PT.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

James Flight White. . . bitch!

[bigbendbruisebrother]

If this were a vbookie, I'd put my whopping $30 on Bonner. If he can continue to knock down 3 pointers after learning the system, he'll help spread the floor.

I'm also looking forward to seeing Parker knock down threes as well.

By the way, is Barry outta here or what? I keep seeing his named mentioned in various contexts, but I haven't seen anything in the Express News.

[romain.star]

i'd say this guy... that Tim Duncan...

[urunobili]

Butler
