Initially, no question Hairston was better. As the season progressed, though, so did Gee. They are much closer now as players than before.

Given their build and lack of ball skills, I don't know why people see them as SG's. Their primary position, if they're to carve out a spot for themselves in the league, will likely be SF. On this team, it definitely will be.
Rotation wise, I expect a combination of Anderson, Hairston and on occasion Ginobili to fill the backup SF spot. I expect Gee to primarily be with the Toros.

Jefferson/Gee/Hairston
Duncan/Blair/Bonner
Splitter/McDyess
An insurance big will need to be signed, unless the Spurs just want to pick from the D-League crop and keep a roster spot open.
There is still a lot of off-season to go though.
Neither was/is Barry and Ginobili, yet they've both played there. I actually think there's a good chance Anderson sees at least as much time at SF as he sees at SG. Ginobili and Hill are going to play the vast majority of the minutes at SG and Neal is strictly an SG, so it's going to be difficult for Anderson to play a lot of SG.
Depth chart, I'd go...
McDyess/Bonner/Blair
Jefferson/Hairston/Gee
Duncan/Splitter
Ginobili/Anderson/Neal
Parker/Hill/Temple
I don't think that will be the rotation though, or the starting lineup for that matter.
Re: Spurs sign James Anderson
wait how many 2's do we have? and how many sf's do we have? i'm confused now.

That would be nice, wouldn't it? It's been my experience that sarcasm does not translate to the internet.

Much closer does not mean they're equal. It's still Hairston's position to lose.

I didn't know if he was asking what blue means, or if he was challenging the fact that I think Hairston isn't in any danger of being cut. There's been a surprisingly large amount of Hairston bashing lately, much of it by people whose names I don't recognize, so I was just asking for clarification. I didn't want to just be obtuse and say what the blue text means if that wasn't the question.

A bunch of mostly shooting guards. Richard Jefferson is probably the only legitimate small forward on the roster. They do have a few big guys that could play it in a big lineup (Blair or Bonner) and a few small guys who could play it in a quicker lineup (Gee or Hairston or even Anderson).
If Splitter actually turns out to be a solid defensive NBA center, then either combination will work depending upon the situation because there are people to defend the paint.

Also, bonner will get more minutes than blair and tiago since stretch 4 is important to them. he also knows the system more.
You have no idea how wrong I hope you are.
Re: Spurs sign James Anderson
So they didn't sign him few weeks ago when they had that press conference and all?

Per the NBA's rookie salary scale, Anderson -- the 20th overall pick out of Oklahoma State -- will receive two guaranteed seasons worth a maximum of $2.825 million, with team options for the third and fourth seasons.

Hairston OTOH has no guaranteed money in his contract.
...and no further options to the Toros.

And he could very well lose it to Gee.

That didn't say anything about what the contract amount actually is.
Re: Spurs sign James Anderson
I posted this in another thread but Dicky V aka Dick Vitale (sp?) thinks that James Anderson is one of the steals of this draft (can't remember his exact words) so that it for what it's worth.
Re: Spurs sign James Anderson
interesting take on JA from DraftXpress (also interersting they had him in this article as small forward):
•James Anderson was nothing short of spectacular last season, and it shows here. His 1.07 overall PPP ranks second amongst all players, as do his 20 possessions used per-game. He was above the PPP every in every situation except for guarded catch and shoot situations, and has more experience running the pick and roll (2.9 Pos/G) than any other player on our rankings. High usage/high-efficiency players are extremely difficult to come by, and NBA teams may want to ponder if they’re missing the boat on Anderson due to the fact that he has not been spectacular in workouts. The same thing happened last year with Marcus Thornton.
at 6'6 with 6'8 wingspan and good athlete I think he can definitely put in quality minutes against most SF in league
