I've seen that picture, but I don't much care about that dunk. I do care that he can play 4, has a decent shot from 3 (.367 on 31 attempts this year, .344 on 60 or so last year,"a high release point and seems to have some potential in this area" ), he's a "outstanding" athlete (OK see picture), 3.0 BLk/40 pace adjusted, 10.9 rebs/40 pace adjusted..."a basic, but promising post-game", which resulted in a 0.638 on 2fg%...Quote:

He made the dunk btw.
Yeah, I kind of expected that. DX wouldn't have used it as their picture if he'd missed it...Quote:

Still, it's a correctable physical defect, unlike say Denmon needing to add 2-3 inches in height...
I think the only team more obsessed with stretch 4s is Orlando.Quote:

Kind of reminds me of Malcom Thomas from last season. I wish he could have stayed longer.
RC Put the bottle down and call these guys and make sure they are in camp. After that you can pick up bottle.Quote:

How about this guy?Quote:

BTW, heard undrafted Xavier G Tu Holloway has received calls from Cavs, Lakers, Thunder & Spurs about summer league, but haven't confirmed.
The Spurs reaching out to Tu Holloway is even worse news for Joseph. You'd think the Spurs would keep the point guard minutes open if they are going to take a long look at Joseph in Vegas.
Personally, I want Joseph and Denmon splitting the point guard minutes. I don't see much use for adding a Holloway or Machado.
James White!
I think Spurs should keep Denmon at the SG slot. Making the roster will be tough enough for him that you don't need to add making it while playing a whole new position. It's too much to ask.Quote:

I know he's young and incredibly new and that it was always supposed to be a 2-3 year type pick (from a developmental standpoint), but sometimes IMO you just know. To me, CJ falls into that category.
They saw enough of him to know they screwed up and he won't be on this team long.Quote:

Going to Vegas with Memphis.Quote:

Yeah, that's a perfect scenario for Denmon. Given the need for a reliable backup pg, Pop and co should at the very least entertain the idea to see how Denmon does at the point.Quote:
