#33 Wasn't that Cadillac Anderson's number?

I bet you a dollar he'll say Scottie Pippen when asked.

Others to wear 33 for the Spurs (and Chaparrals)

Antonio Daniels
Jud Buechler
Greg "Cadillac" Anderson (2 different stints with the Spurs)
Uwe Blab
David Greenwood
Steve Johnson
Bill Willoughby
Michael Wiley

ABA
Rich Jones (ABA Spurs and pre-move to SA with the Dallas Chaparrals)
Richard Peek (ABA Chaparrals)

You think we'll eventually retire his number?

So far, I'd say Rich Jones was the best #33 the Spurs have had. AD is 2nd best.

Ah, Rich Jones of sainted memory. He was a Power Forward when that designation meant "Enforcer" He looked the part, like he ate babies for breakfast.

You people REALLY need to ratchet down your expectations. I think the BEST case scenario is that you have an NBA caliber wing who can shoot, defend some, and run the floor, sort of like a large scale Antonio Daniels. Maybe something like Richard Dumas, minus the drugs.
