DG is in a weird situation. In Pop's system, he looks like a great player. Throw him on almost any other team and he probably disappears. How many teams are as unselfish as the Spurs so that DG can put up uncontested 3s all game long? Not many.
Is KJ worth a look with the cap space this offseason if Danny Green gets a big offer?

Are you serious?
lol wut
you think the Spurs are the only team in the NBA that creates good looks from 3? Smh..
KJ McDaniels gotta be up there with Danny as far as blocks are concerned...

It's true, though. Did you see the looks Miami and OKC got their players? Phoenix or GS? Houston? Atlanta? It's not uncommon at all.
He is. Can't shoot a lick, though. He's a four in a two's body.
Those teams already have their two guards...
I really do wonder how hard teams are going to go after Danny or if we'll offer him a fair contract and that'll be that?...
My understanding from 76er blogs was that they'll still be able to match any offer, so McDaniels really isn't an option.
He's shooting better than Green did his rookie year, and McDaniels was a very good free their shooter in college iirc, so he has the potential to be molded into a much better shooter than he is now. He would have been very nice to have as Green insurance.
Bison Dele or Danny Green?
Discuss.
He's also an Arenas FA, so he can get an OS no bigger than the MLE. I don't see him going anywhere.
Exaggeration. Mbah a Moute can't shoot a lick, Aminu can't shoot a lick, KJ is having to put up tough shots on a horrible team. He's shooting over 40% on corner 3's, albeit from a limited number of attempts.
To quote draftexpress from 2013:
and in 2014According to Synergy Sports Technology, McDaniels made 39% of his attempts with his feet set, albeit on a fairly limited sample size.
His problem isn't ability, it's shot selection. Give him the shots that Green gets and he'd be at least average at the NBA level. He'll never be lights out like Green, but to say he's a bad shooter is misinformed.He's relatively reliable with his feet set and a glimmer of daylight (41%), and hits a terrific 87% of his free throw attempts
Actually doesn't that make him applicable for a poison pill contract?
Yeah. But no one's gonna do that for McDaniels. Though it does it that Pick-1 thread I had a few months ago.
what a ty thread
Probably the best. Doesn't matter, though. Teams that will have money usually suck, and THEY don't create good looks.
Have you seen his mama's twitter feed? Ridonkulous. Spurs wouldn't be havin' any of that.... They're also NOT going to pay the MLE for a backup SF to a 23 YO star.
Go under the radar and get SG Jamaal Franklin. He's another SDSU Aztec. He's got literally every skill except distance shooting. He didn't have a bad rookie year, he just got caught in a numbers/salary crunch in Memphis and was non-guaranteed. He's 6'5" with a 6'11" wingspan. He's a ferocious rebounder, and in the SDSU 4 guard set essentially played PF and grabbed 9.4 rebounds in 33 minutes per game as a junior. He's in China, but should be available in Feb/Mar.
Of course the Spurs are the best, but the majority of decent teams in the NBA can create open looks, otherwise there wouldn't be any good offensive role players
Right, but most good teams don't have money to spend that would put him out of the Spurs reach, financially.Of course the Spurs are the best, but the majority of decent teams in the NBA can create open looks, otherwise there wouldn't be any good offensive role players
I agree, I don't think Green is leaving the Spurs, I don't think any team that could use him to put them over the top could afford him, so I'm confident he will reach a fair deal with the Spurs..
The thought of Green leaving the Spurs and then him guarding Kawhi or Parker is disturbing.
