No problem. I am not trying to sell Ayers. I'm not a fan, so I understand your doubts. But, I thought it was interesting in showing he didn't compare as negatively as those that don't care for him, myself included, might have guessed he would.

73 games was the sample size for Ayers while Baynes (53 games) and Bonner (61 game).
He actually had the highest sample size.
As for the actual article It shows he has improved over Indiana and compares favorable with Bonner & Baynes.
He his advanced metrics were actually better, in some cases, much better than Baynes was (win share per 48 minutes, TS% and Net Rtg).

This guy sucks and his play is really deceiving. If you don't really pay attention to him, it seems like he's good; he can shoot, he's tall, he can defend. However, none of that is true. He can't actually defend at all either, never knows where he's supposed to be on offense or defense. I don't think he'd succeed in the Spurs' offense at all.

i think that anything Clark could do at Louisville he could do again, but better, with the spurs. just off the searchable youtube highlights, i'd say he can shoot and penetrate. maybe play some d.

This. Played well on his contract year and vanished all season long for the Cavs the following season. Had games where he started and had to be subbed out immediately. Neither did he do anything special in a Cavs team weak on the wings. If you want a shooting wing you already have Daye, who's almost a full year into the system.

He was in a zone that night for sure.

Free agent forward Earl Clark has agreed to a training camp deal with Memphis, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Re: Source: Spurs working out free agent Earl Clark
hmm, the Spurs brought in James Johnson for a workout last off-season and he ended up getting picked up by the Grizzles at the start of the season or during the season, can't remember when he was picked up by them exactly. He may have had a D-league stint first then got picked up? Anyway, bit of a coincidence that they don't mind taking the backup SFs the Spurs take a look at.
I recall during one of the games against the Spurs where he played well, posters were asking why the Spurs didn't sign him or take a look at him, but a lot of them didn't know/recall the Spurs had him in for workouts last off-season and passed for whatever reason. Looks like they've done the same with Clark.
Re: Source: Spurs working out free agent Earl Clark
James Johnson pretty much got away from the Spurs last year. He was exactly what the team needed in a 13th man.

Why do you think they passed on him? I liked what I saw on him in the games against the Spurs. It really can't be down to shooting only, can it? What are they looking for in a backup SF? What qualities and attributes are they looking for?

He wasn't in shape when they worked him out.

Was he out of shape?
Forgot all about that.
Seemed to round into shape pretty well.

That's what he told Spurs staff. Round is a shape.

JJ supposedly has a stupid attitude. That'll keep you off the Spurs roster.
