Spurs Media Day 10.2.23

[spurraider21]

I think it was the training camp roster it listed Birch at 6'8". Kind of smallish for a center.

yep. meanwhile bassey's listed height went from 6'9 last year to 6'11 this year

fwiw raptors fans seemed to like him quite a bit until his knee issue. he played well for them when first acquired. but then he played the entire next season (21-22) on a torn meniscus that they apparently missed on an MRI. he then got offseason surgery before the 22-23 season but was never really recovered. hence playing next to no minutes last year.

Is this the smallest number of white guys on a Spurs roster ever?

[koriwhat]

Damn I can not wait!

[Mugen]

I still can't believe Wemby is an f'n Spur tbh

[scott]

I haven't see pictures of Khem Birch. Is he with the team?

Have reports from practice that include him, so he's there

[scott]

sochan never looked cut as a rookie, probably was carrying more weight than he needed to. he probably should add more muscle mass, but imo he probably just trimmed some fat

bassey and champagnie growing 2 inches at age 22 seems pretty odd

Bassey was listed at 6'11" in college. His draft express profile listed him at 6'10". NBA.com draft profile had him at 6'10".

He was listed at 6'10" as a Freshman in HS, but that same HS listed me as a 5'10" 180lb Linebacker when I was actually 5'7" 155lbs... so I take that with a grain of salt.

This is all just to say, I don't think Bassey grew, I just think the Sixers didn't list his height properly.

Its not about hurting him ... but Draymond and others will want to bully Wemby ... in general the Spurs have a target on their back without being any good - just because of Wemby.
That is why I do not expect much improvement in wins over last season.

Oh, no, I absolutely think Draymond is going to try to physically injure Wembanyama.

I don't think I've seen a Denver-GSW game where Draymond's filthy fingers haven't managed to jam into Jokic's eyes.

To be fair, most of the black people are half-breeds.

This team is sooo light-skinned lmao, I was thinking about that the other day

I think the first one tagged is Zollins, after Sochan suplex the fool who tries to even get close to Wemby.
