You know how wishing for a trade went for Bonner... :lol you might jinx him.Quote:

No idea what to think of him. He shows glimpses but with the time he's had in the league he should be further along.
Can't wait to watch him show out against Average Joe and Billy the plumber next year in the Summer League!
Only to get outplayed by Randy fucking Foye when it matters.
He is terrible. That play where I think foye shoots a 3 and he just stares says it all. He is not nba talent
This joke of a player is 5X worse than Bonner and I hate the red rocket.
It took Joseph 3 years, and only towards the end. Point is, there is time. Cheap rookie contract, he will stay.Quote:

Yeah but Cory was always a good defender, and he had the corner three down by this point of his career.Quote:

Just a lazy player overall.
No need.MVPBonner is going nowhere. Nowhere I say. :bking
In college, Kyle was a play maker point guard. That's always been his role. imho the assumption he cant be a point guard in the nba is and has always been simply wrong...in offense his lenght is always gonna give him a clear advantage over quite every opponent. In defense it's not necessary that he guards the opponent point man if his team has (and his actual team has, with Green and Leonard) other good perimeter defenders that can switch...
Yup, Kyle just stared at the ball as it hit the floor, bounced up and ended up in the hands of an OKC Thunder. For a guy that supposedly has a high BBIQ and is a good rebounder, he sure did show none of that throughout his time on the floor.Quote:

Kyle is a very good basketball player. He is very smart. He has a lot of savy moves. He is long. In the D league he would dominate only "good" basketball players, which is 90% of the D league.
In the NBA, he is probably the most versatile 10th man. Without a strong outside shot, he is simply too slow to be anything more than that. His length will sometimes get you a steal or a deflection. He will sometimes play catch up on defense when a guy blows by him and get a block from behind. He is smart enough to not turn the ball over as he passes it to someone else because his ability to score against a legit NBA defender is limited.
Can he get better? Sure. He is young and still developing, yada yada. Maybe the most versatile 8th-9th guy. He will sometimes look very good against scrubs in garbage time. He will get feasted on against legit NBA talent.
There should be no shame in any of that. He is what he is. If he is a starter for the Spurs, the Spurs will be in trouble.
Agreed. Too slow, too unathletic and not competitive enough. I want players who compete or as Pop says, have some "nasty".Quote:

Starting Thread....
Starting to realize something...second thoughts maybe?Quote:

I don't like slow-mo at all. He hasn't shown anything in my opinion. He had a couple nice defensive plays but I don't think anyone would argue that he is a good defensive player. His shot is terrible. When he drives, he's almost never looking to score.
I'm sure he's on the roster next year and gets one more chance to prove himself, but I'm pretty much ready to move on from him.
He's not an NBA caliber player, he would be good in Europe. Not De Colo good. But he could have a career.
Lazy absolutely describes him well. Also entitled. For as slow as he is, when it's time for getting back on defense transition or otherwise, or sacrificing to make a hustle play, he could be counted on for quitting and going at quarter speed of his usual self.
For such a smart player, he makes a lot of suspect decisions with the ball also. He only really scores when he gets to hunch over like Mr Burns and ISO into a fadeaway.
