Halloween Game Thread: Spurs @ Jazz - Oct 31st 8PM CT on FDSN (4AM RIGA)

Second of many more to come.

[8FOR!3]

Collins can actually play center minutes and despite the meming, he's actually had a pretty good year so far. Mamu is competing for the 10th spot in the rotation, which is currently what Branham and Wesley are competing for. It's hard to see where he will play when the rotation is healthy.

Paul, Jones
Vassell, Castle
Barnes, Johnson
Sochan, Mamu
Wembanyama, Collins

Is that the best rotation, or should Wesley, Branham or Champangie fill get that last spot instead?

Personally I would trade Keldon and have Champagnie be the backup 3. The problem is Malaki is more of a scorer and we need that off the bench. We badly need a guy who can get buckets off the bench like a Jordan Clarkson type. Champagnie/Branham are the closest things we have to a quick trigger shooter though so one of them has to be playing. I prefer Champagnie bc he's a little bigger and maybe slightly more athletic and slightly better at defense. Barnes kind of does that but Barnes is more of a spot up shooter than the other two. They can move around off ball more and get their shot up.

Wemby with a +43? +/- is a not very useful stat, but that’s wild

[Pauleta14]

5X5 and +43 !!

[scott]

Haha, that was my first thought... but how many FRPs would we have to attach? Certainly BKY sees the light at the end of the tunnel finally.

The Bench was truly awful. Starting unit kept Spurs in it the first half.

I just saw that and zolins -21 spread of 64

[scott]

5x5 for Wemby... but let's be honest he still kind of played like ass. 12 threes. lol.

[Brazil]

7 assists but but Victor does not do anything well … so hard to build around

[thiste]

Important to note that tonight's 5x5 was on the road with the opponent's score keeper! LEGIT.

[Kuvai]

Our awefulest player was Keldon.

He isn’t doing anything against scrub teams as well

that’s what is awesome with wemby, played like but still put a 25 9 7 5 5

[ginobilized]

CP3 and Wemby 2 man game is starting to click.

2nd 5x5 and he's already 23rd All-Time.

Castle made a 3!!!

Nice rebound from the OKC debacle. We might win 30 or so this season if the bench doesn't prove t be our downfall.

Agree!

[timtonymanu]

why are we blaming the other players for terrible spacing and not being able to shoot? It’s victors fault.

Dudes one of the best 3 point shooters on the team. I think he chucks them a lot cause he knows most of the other guys are absolutely worthless on that end.

[8FOR!3]

Castle's shot has looked great this quarter.

He plays great team basketball. Veteran level decision maker he looks like he's been in the league as long as Harrison Barnes. I hope that UCONN didn't coach him out of being a dog though I want to see him get that SGA/Anthony Edwards mentality as he improves the next few years. I guess he is still really young it's crazy to think that he plays like that at 19 years old. I'm not saying he's the best rookie I've ever seen (he's definitely not) but he might look the most comfortable. Cody Williams looked like a deer in the headlights I thought. Castle's floor is jack of all trades on offense but below average shooter and above average defender. Impressed with how savvy he is on offense.

[skin27]

Good Win

[Thomas82]

Wemby just became the 3rd player to get a 5x5 multiple times. The other 2 are Hakeem Olajuwon (6) and Andrei Kirilenko (3).

[Kuvai]

WEMBY is fine.
He developed nice rhythm with CP3. CP3 and him always talking on the bench and figuring out them selves.
Yes he was not pushing the envelope near the rim more, but he is setting up excellent shots for other shooters. Too bad we dont have someone that can shoot better.

Plus he is a force defensively…

Can we ship Keldon + Zollins for a 3 & D guy… That should fix lot of problems..

[baseline bum]

You have way more faith in Pop than I do if you'd be willing to put Simmons on his roster.

[Robz4000]

If anything BKN would have to attach 1sts tbh.

[Kuvai]

Stephon Castle shot is not there but he looks silkyyyyyyy smooth on the floor.

Hope he would be great friends with Wemby then we will have something special to build for years to come..

[Brazil]

Agree!

most casual 5x5 ever

[scott]

Nah. Simmons is on an expiring. Keldon has two more years after this one and Collins has one more year. It's the one in a million scenario where BKY could actually get paid for Ben Simmons.
