In part, it may be because our defense is so good at taking away their first and second options that the players' down the chain are the ones we leave relatively open (by design), And sometimes those no names we're leaving open get hot.Quote:

He never got off the ground, here. But, in your wisdom don't overlook that coach Bud, who knows him far better than you ever will, picked him up for the Hawks as insurance. They didn't pick up his option this year, but that's not exactly because they think he's worthless. As long as Anderson is on the team, there's no place for Daye, but Bud picking him up should have given you a little pause. Now, return to you regularly scheduled programming.Quote:

So as I see it, if Spurs are still looking for a 3 point shooter, I would consider Daye over the rumored Copeland.
Sign me up for this. He's the type of underrated player that could be a nice addition. Similar to Belinelli a few seasons ago. I love this idea! Fits the team need for the back up slot.
So they were kicking the tires on him. He does have a great skill set with his shooting. But hes never quite been able to be relevant, has he?Quote:

That would seem to be his ceiling at the moment, anyway. The Drew League is fun, but he should work on knocking down the three. If he could do that consistently, the rest is gravy. He couldn't do it here. C'est la vie.
On the contrary, since more and more teams going to small ball, there should be job openings for someone with Jenkins's shooting ability.Quote:

Kyle Anderson is a star compared to Daye and a lot younger. Daye would make aweful passes off the mark, and at some point apparently tried to correct his bad decision making and then stopped passing all together. He has a tendency to be chucker and like some one said: he was a one trick pony and was very bad at his one trick. Even as a rookie during the December stretch last year, KA looked better and played more than Daye. That was when I knew Daye was going to be out the door. He was shooting poorly, but on top of that you could not play him because he was aweful at everything else. If your PG/Wing rotation is decimated by injuries and you must roll with CoJo, Marco and Danny Green as your only legit players, and then you have to play your still looking very raw-deer in the headlights- rookie for significant minutes because Daye is unplayable, then you know Daye is not coming back to the Spurs.
We've had other guys who didn't have many tools who worked out ok. But having a bunch of sub-NBA-level skills and using them in games against the Pop's express wishes is not something that's going to be tolerated in a Spurs player. Daye just isn't a Spurs player.
Jenkins doesn't have a lot of tools, but at least he plays within himself. He seems like a pretty nice poor man's Belinelli to bring in for the minimum.
the Spurs roster this season is a versatile mix of the past, the present and the future...................................!!!!
if we get Jenkins, Bonner is gone, hu hu
i shall miss the Red Rocket, masterchef taster of the Spurs , hahahahahahahah
Marjanoviccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccc!
Both were waived by Bud, so right now for all intents and purposes, they are both equivalent. I prefer Daye over Jenkins because you can't teach length. Bud had earlier signed them up because both could shoot the 3.Quote:

He wouldn't take the non-guaranteed deal Spurs wanted to offer.Quote:
