I remember how Kawhi improved every year. It's the same with this guy in every aspect of his game. He's already better than rookie Kawhi offensively. If he's the gym rat as they say, dang Spurs hit the jackpot. I think Keldon can play the one-on-one defender, with DJ and Vassell as help defense?? Geez :lolQuote:

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say he's better than rookie Kawhi... Let's wait and see.Quote:

Dude is built like a tank.
Can't wait for KJ and Nephew to lock horns...
Yeah, that's what I thought but never heard an announcement.Quote:

I don't think the question is whether he can turn into a very important player in the team the question is whether they will develop him correctly as mentioned by others on this thread and how long it will take.
Yeah, because they always fail at developing young first round players. Oh, wait, that never happened.Quote:

All teams have draft boards and contingency plans. The Spurs are one of the least likely teams to make a move, but that might be due to them getting the players they want and trusting their top-notch player development personnel.
I am OK with what happened so far it’s looking like Vassell is going to be a key player for us for years to come. Still crossing my fingers that Spurs can move one or two players to get draft capital first round or second round it doesn’t matter to me.

My take away from this is, WTF? Spurms media so bad they arn't even inviting Puppet Local Media to Take Pictures of practices?
He should play a good amount. People focus too much on projected rotations, when in reality it's more rare than not to have the top 9-10 intact regularly and that's likely to be exacerbated this season.Quote:

If he takes advantage, there's no reason to think he won't continue to play.

He needs to get on that Keldon diet plan.

Klay as a rookie for comparison. I feel Klay has the most similar profile to Devin.

Here's Rip Hamilton as a 20 year old. He's listed as 6'7", but I can't find his wingspan anywhere. Don't know if Devin is this anorexic, but it's close.

Some similarities here... Not very explosive, pulls up for a J with a hand in the face.

We come on here just to discuss. I think things are a little too serious with you. You're a great poster when you don't look to attack other people. You actually bring great content. I plead with you to stop. Some people come on here for peace. It doesn't have to be you against everybody. Or me versus anybody.
