Watching the highlights, he does have a lot more moves than Poodle and Ewwbanks. At 7’ with 7’4 wingspan and he works hard, he’s a perfect project. I wanted Spurs to draft an athletic big for our 2nd pick, but they probably went for insurance on a solid PG in Tre. He plays a traditional C unlike Metu, and very active in the defensive end. He moves well on PNR and should benefit from a better PG to dish him the ball where he could just dunk it. Aron Baynes was a bruiser, but I think this guy is more skilled and plenty of length. And he chose the Spurs over 4 other teams. He’s ready to work. I’m excited for this kid.
This guy is basically our modern "draft-and-stash Euro". We'll probably see him in 3-4 years. We probably avoid doing international draft and stashes anymore because of the $$$ involved (and because other teams improved their international scouting). The Spurs basically transformed our GLeague team into this. Smart way of doing it...
He got moves facing the rim :lol. Just that he’s already 23 and I don’t know if he’s body frame can add another 20 lbs. He gets moved out of the court on a right spin. He has range but low release almost on his forehead that’s why they get blocked. But he has the skills and attitude. But I like that the FO are into defensive guys than ever.
This is fairly good news, because if they’re doing a quick sign and cut, that likely means there WILL be an Austin season this year. I had my doubts.
You have to wonder how they're going to do the logistics this year. No more back and forth between Austin and SA due to COVID risks. Or no more frequent flying to whichever city the SA Spurs are playing to minimize COVID risks. There has to be some kind of change logistically.
I know they’ve changed the two way rules for this season from 45 days(practice,travel,games)total, to 52 games, out of 72. There was no limit on days, that I heard, anyway. The active game roster is also 15, versus 13, previously. They might run the gleague as a more separate entity, like you said, at least until the vaccine is widespread. Also, they might start it later, like the NBA (7-8 weeks), which would put it nearly, if not actually, in February.
