    I know we could, but would we want to keep Josh Richardson as the backup. And get rid of Jones? I think it would be a big upgrade at PG.
    Josh Richardson? He isn’t a PG. Not even close.

    Tre Jones certainly has to improve his shot but he still has some ability to run an offense which no one else on this team has after Murray. Maybe Primo one day.

    He shot 36% in SL at 2.8 attempts. I’m ok with him continuing, or starting, to shoot open 3’s. Lonnie’s percentage has been horrible this year but I don’t think he should stop either if open. I hear what you’re saying about wasted possessions. My response would be that we suck and the purpose of this season is development. Think about Eubanks. He talked about all the work he did on his 3 and then attempted like five all year and got moved. My point is, players need to learn to show the initiative as well, otherwise they’ll never break through in their development.
    Summer league and gleague are both practically irrelevant to NBA game time. Kyle Anderson shot nearly 36% in Austin, and couldn’t hit in SA.

    Irrelevant, except when you use it to strengthen your argument depending on the situation. You cite G league stuff all the time, so that seems like a disingenuous response. Regardless, he still needs to hit open jump shots.

    If Tre is the new target for Spurstalk, it certainly is better then watching Forbes or Lyles or any other frustrating player from teams past.

    Wow, two page for this troll? Tre is the only real PG besides Murray. He’s doing a great job on his 2nd year and for a 2nd round draft pick, besides shooting the 3. His shooting mechanics are good, 80% FT shooter, midrange is money. I’m sure Coach Chip is working on him to extend that range. Tre is a great kid, so this thread will not age well.

    Tre has many shortcomings but does at least have an elite NBA skill (paint penetration). Not sure I can say that about many on this roster tbh…

    What physical tools do you mean? They both are 6’3” with meh wingspans (CoJo on inch longer at a whooping 6’5”).

    I personally think Tre is much further along than CoJo was at this point.
    Tre Jones is listed as 6’1” everywhere I’ve seen.

    If you don’t love Tre Jones, you don’t understand basketball at all. That’s it. That’s the post.

    I couldn’t agree more. A second round pick in his second year who can contribute 10-15 mins a game as a backup PG. he has a future in this league even if not with us.

    I didn't say anything about "love" (and actually said he's otherwise relatively solid) this is just the typical bitter, apologist, waste of space response.

    The bottom line is, this stuck in the dark ages franchise isn't going anywhere by continuing to enable this behavior and mentality, especially from an unestablished, minimal player.


    This is the TP , CoJo and Murray development path, he won't shoot that until year 3 just does not have the range right now. It is not really as damaging as a wing who does not shoot 3.
    This is '22. A minimal small guard needs 3 years to develop the range to shoot 3s? When it was known in college that it was the one thing preventing him from definitively being destined for a long career as a rotation player? Come on.

    No one is asking him to be a sniper. I don't even care so much if shoots a terrible percentage, so much as he takes the ones he needs to. Virtually every other franchise gets this through to their players. Why can't this one ever be held accountable for it?

    You are a closet Raptors fan though. Give Massai his flowers bro, he will happily take Tre for a 2nd.

    Haven’t seen Jones play enough to comment personally, but my question how does a guard who can’t shoot, star at the university of duke for 2 years. Indictment of how todays players are developing.

    For what? Begging his buddies at the league office to reward their drowning asses after whining about them being displaced last season (as if it were the league's fault) and gifting them a high pick? Some talent that is.

    His second season Cole Anthony went down and he stepped up to the plate.

    Second round pick, it's going to be a tough road for him to stay in the NBA. There hasn't been a second round pick that the Spurs drafted that stuck around for a couple years since Blair? over a decade ago.

    770 minutes played this season 3-26 from three!!

    Undersized, not strong, not extremely fast, and can't shoot.

    I don't really care right now because this team is going no where this season and it's best to get a better pick. Next year though if he is in the rotation then we have a problem.

    Corey Joseph is a second round pick who stuck for quite awhile....

    Chimze Metu is also a 2018 pick who is in Sacramento.... I'm not sure if they are part of the NBA still or if they have been relegated down.... Oh wait wrong continent we won't do that in the US.

    He gets to the rim pretty much at will in the NBA, even without a jump shot that goes further than 10-12 feet. Duke would have been a cakewalk.

    Joseph is a late FRP, not SRP.

    I like CoJo, but he was the player selected immediately before Jimmy Butler. I don’t know if Jimmy Butler was on Spurs’ radar having already drafted Kawhi at #15, but the Spurs drafted a position in need (having traded George Hill for the right to draft Kawhi) instead of a BPA who turned to be a multiple AS player, member of All-Defensive in multiple years, and possibly a future Hofer. Sadly that would people remember CoJo for instead of the dunk on Ibaca. Who knows what could’ve happened next had Spurs drafted Butler instead to pair with Kawhi. Dang
