That would have been Demps' call.
No Sanikidze?

Pop gives a shot to a fellow alum. No surprise.16 Dan Nwaelele G 6-5 205

Too bad. I guess he'll never be a Spur.
Thanks...I was starting to wonder.
Roger Powell is a good guy. Very Spur-like off the court.
Hmmm...he probably could use one good season abroad with a decent club.
He's also currently playing for the Pacers in the Orlando Summer League if you wanna check him out.
I like Powell and Adeleke. Green is versatile but hasn't been playing well in Orlando SL.
None of the free agents here are going to make the team.
Dan Nwaelele is the name that stands out to me. Supposedly the Spurs really thought he had a shot to make their team last year before the Air Force didn't allow him to play. We'll see if he can regain that magic.
Amara Sy is that French cat who threw down a monstrous dunk on Elson during a preseason game a couple years ago. Kid is pretty damn athletic. Not much of a basketball player the last time I saw him.
I think it's a pretty solid roster. The one thing I'm a bit skeptical about is all the talent. Hopefully the Spurs actually give their rookies (and Mahinmi) a lot of time and don't try to make it even. Then again, with the lack of rest, that could be difficult to do.
Solid yet unspectacular summer league roster. It's comparable to if the Spurs spent 75% of their MLE on a player such as Roger Mason. Oh wait . . .
Yeah, I don't see any of the free agents unseating the draft picks though there is a decent amount of talent there. I want the draftees and Ian to be force fed in both leagues. The others can impress if they play defense and find the right spots on offense.
Just in case someone didn't know, summer league games are going to be webcast on NBA.com
this is only the roster for the summer league in vegas, they might have a different roster for the RMR
Not a lot of size on that roster. Shades of things to come, perhaps.
Here is Amara Sy's dunk on Elson. IIRC, that was Elson's first game in silver and black
Yeah,
And that was about as good a defensive rotation as he ever made.IIRC, that was Elson's first game in silver and black
Yeah I was going to make a comment about his lack of rotation ... but that was about as quickly as ever moved to protect the rim.And that was about as good a defensive rotation as he ever made.
There was a one-on-one streetball style tournament a couple of years ago on MTV, does anyone know if Sy is the French kid that won it?
IIRC it was called "Battlegrounds."
Does anyone know why VS isn't on the roster? Isn't he sacking groceries somewhere?
Probobly becuase hes yet to play a full season in europe.
17 players ?
Even if Spurs will play 8 games in 9 days, that's a lot.
Theres isn't "big names" in this roster. I wonder if it's because Spurs struggle to attract these players in their SL team or if it's because they want that Mahinmi and Spurs' drafted players are their SL teams main weapons.
No Sanikidze is quite a surprise. I hope for him that he isn't again injured.
