Copyright? I don't think you can post full articles, only parts.

Today he definitely looked good. But can he do that consistently? Five games into Summer League the answer has definitely been "no." And unfortunately, if he can't do that at the summer league level then the NBA will just devour him. And thats pretty much what happened during his spot minutes last season. He got chewed up and spit out.

Sorry I meant that he did NBDL last years he was usually the best player on the court and was consistent with that. I still think he needs the 10 minutes off the bench this year to see how he handles it. Let the big club have him and develop him in practice.

I think an excerpt plus the link can work. I'm not a mod so I don't know what happened, but that's my guess.

That, or you posted an article that had already been posted on here.

Becky telling Simmons to quit celebrating and get back on defense!!

He got the message, so the next time, he just went for a simple layup.

That was pretty cool. She apparently yelled at the guys on the sideline who were stepping out to celebrate as well. When he got that next steal, she was standing there with her arms folded before smiling and sitting down. Very Pop like.

Hes still struggling with determining how to best use his talents. He probably academically knows what he needs to do and now he just needs more practical experience doing it. I think we'll see him spend spurts of time in San Antonio getting semi-regular minutes and testing his development. Then he'll be sent back to Austin for lengthy amounts of time to continue to refine those strategies and get muscle memory for those techniques. I imagine he'll hop back and forth several times between the two clubs. There just won't be a whole lot of minutes for him in San Antonio considering his pitifully low efficiency level thus far in the NBA. But he'll likely get extended chances at both sites. Just nothing consistent throughout the season.

Jalen Rose taking notice.. just compared Jonathan Simmons to Vin Baker

will devin brown give him permission?

Aldridge is more like Splitter's replacement in the starting five.

Marjanovic is more like Ayres replacement.

Baynes replacement is David West.

Is Simm City a big drinker or something?

Vin Baker was a PF, am I missing something here?
