Welcome Marco Bellinelli!

Welcome Marco "Bellissimo" Belinelli.
Because your three point shot will look "lovely" going in the hoop.

This guy's a pretty good package. Can shoot the three, can shoot midrange, can shoot off the dribble, can even create his own shot. Hustles on defense. Athletic (for a European lol). Team player. Plus he's got better size than Neal, RMJ, George Hill, or pretty much every undersized combo guard the Spurs has had over recent years. Terrific signing for the amount that he's worth, I hope he'll be a productive Spur for many years.

Hey, he's more athletic than North Americans Neal and Green. This is an underrated pick and I can already hear announcers saying that shit during games next season of how "the Spurs once again pull the wool over everyone's eyes and get a steal to plug in and become a vital role player in their system".

He can shave that neck beard in S.A., one would think/hope?

You probably hated seeing RJ go didn't you?

Bet his first points are a pump fake from 3 to a 16 ft jumpshot

CoJo/Marco/Manu/Boris/Matty

bring it :flag:

This guy is like Manu but with a nanosecond more patience. Should cut down the turnovers in big games from 8 to 3.

yeah, just about the same :lmao

I really like this signing. Belinelli is a great shooter and he gives the Spurs an option that can score in the clutch.

i'm more than okay with the bellinelli signing...i'm sure he'll see the typical improvement that most shooters see when they come to SA and i was fairly impressed with his performance in the playoffs.

As a Chicagoan, I'm really glad about this deal. I think he is much more valuable to the Spurs than the Bulls, and will be more productive as well.

All he has to do is hit open shots, help on pick and roll defense by going for loose balls and again hitting open shots. Basically a taller international Gary Neal. There won't be much ball handling with him.
