I know alot of you hate him but the guy can score. I think posting him especially against a smaller team like gs could work at times.

Yes, he can score, but he passes up too many shots. He makes inconsequential passes rather than take the good shot way too often.
I think with him its a confidence issue and that he doesn't know when to be assertive. I'm hoping Andre Miller who is a similar player to Kyle when it comes to playing style can help give him some pointers on how to be effective.
He has definitely been improving on this. He has been much more aggressive lately. I just wish he would take the 3 ball more often. He shoots it well enough.Quote:

Yeah I agree, I don't see a point to him having a quick shot. He's too tall for it to matter and he can get people to bite on a slow release.Quote:

Offensive player with the most potential. Spurs got a steal in the late first round again. Could be right up there with George Hill.
The guy has no business in a spurs uniform. Just terrible.
The fuck?Quote:

It does look like they have pushed him to be aggressive for now, which makes perfect sense without Manu and Patty being streaky anyways. For as long as Manu is out, he will have to remain aggressive, which is great for his development and may even be needed in the postseason. When Manu gets back, Kyle having improved as a player will only help Manu find a groove as well.
Some may forget they had a couple of very good games together b4 the testicle injury. I see Kyle's development these past few games as more significant for the team than any marginal no difference maker signing. To me, A.Miller is even a potential mentor to slowmo, as Pop is always looking to improve his young players, and maybe even Simmons too
How bout 'Fivehead'?
Dude's been shooting lights out, and seems to get a lot of steals and deflections with his length and timing despite being slow-footed.
well initially drafted/scouted he was compared to Boris Diaw and the same thing can be said about him way to often especially in the regular season. If he (Boris) wanted to Boris (and if he was a stat whore) he could be an older man's Raymond Green. So maybe Kyle is waiting to unleash it come playoff time like Boris. Or who the heck knows maybe CIA Pop tells them to play that way in the regular season.Quote:

All the talk of lack of speed when he was drafted worried me, I was expecting him to be constantly blown by like Belli, he really hasn't been that much of a liability on defense. Awesome defender? No but not a dumpster fire either. I also like that he never seems frantic or out of control driving to the basket (unlike Verde and Simmons sometimes) he is cool in control to his shot, he just needs to go for it more.Quote:

Notice his 2pt FG percentage, this season compared to last. Identical stat for attempts, per 36 mins, but makes go from .359 to .512. Huge improvement. Significant increase in assists, too. Also, FT%.
Call him what you want, the kid is getting better.
Fathead, Simmons, Diaw and TP all need to shoot more 3s imo.
In 6 games over the last 3 months, he's scored between 10 and 14 points. 4 of those 6 games were blowout wins. He's basically Errors reincarnated; showing up whenever the game doesn't matter then having people blow their load over the fact. He's the next Boris just like Nando was the next Manu.
Also a pretty good defender and good rebounder. I think some have been a little rough on him.
While Nando had fans on ST, though I wasn't one of them, I don't ever remember Ayers or Austin Daye ever having much support on ST. Now I was a JayMichael Green guy (we graduated from same college, Roll Tide!) but what he did well we didn't need, and what we needed he didn't do well. Ayers was the ST whipping boy after Blair and before Parker (who proceeded LMA).Quote:

Sure, except Simmons. He takes all he needs to take.Quote:
