I don't think the Spurs will go into the season with only one player with real point guard skills.
Haislip is not going to play in Austin he needs to earn his money. Only 2 players can be assigned to the Toros at a time and I Don't think Williams will make the team. I think Gist and McClinton go to Austin while Hairston will be the 12th man hopefully.
Bonner, Fin and Mason for Rondo :eyebrowsQuote:

I don't know what was unimpressive about Hairston..his J in the NBA wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either..he played good 1 on 1 defense, even against a couple of the better players in the NBA, including Lebron James..he was very aggressive against whoever was guarding him..he liked to mix it up inside, and he finished strong at the basket..
the best thing about Hairston is that he got better as the year went on..he seems to have a solid work ethic..
I agree. The Spurs have a great group of guys that can play multiple positions, but there's no overlap at point. Pop's not going to like that.Quote:

Whichever didn't make the team would be free to sign/called up elsewhere if they were with the Toros.Quote:

But I'd still rather have him on the team than Finley.
Yeah I know, Haislip has been in the league already for a few years same with Williams. Just the money that Marcus is getting paid means hes going to have to earn it playing some decent minutes. Hopefully he doesn't re bust.Quote:

Lebron James just stopped licking his chops.
You probably won't find the footage of Hairston's 3 consecutive plays of shutting down Lebron, since word is that Nike stole the footage..

Vaughn, unfortunately, has neither.
