Seems like his days are numbered, no?
jinxed it. he just checked in
ing Bran Ham coming in as soon as I open this thread
Haha, my bad.
Outlook doesn’t seem great in any case though.
Branham getting Lonnie’d pretty soon
Yeah.....
No, he's not. He's playing pretty well. His defense is much improved. Don't just watch the outside shot. That's stuff for casuals. Don't be a casual. He's shooting them at the right time. If they don't ever fall, that's one thing, but that's not what the coaching staff is looking at. He's still building his game.
Jesus the sniffing above me lol
Dude needs to warm the bench. I rather play Sidy or even David Duke Jr.
Dime a dozen player. He had an opportunity tonight and played mediocre. Still a capable scorer but many of those types in the league.
I don't think it's going to happen, but if Branham can become a rotation player, these mistakes and problems are the ones he has to experience and play through. Sochan had lots of minutes where he looked terrible last year and he now looks great. This is a way guys improve. Just don't know if he has the mettle and personality to steel up.
Should not have picked up his 4th year option
It's pretty cheap and fine. If he hits, it pays off. I honestly think people themselves too much over these contracts and players not paying off. It may not work, and that's okay. He's not some big anchor on flexibility or anything.
If he hits? I don't know why anyone still has hope on this guy. Calling him a turnstile would be generous. He also makes absolute decisions on when to pass vs shoot. I don't usually outright dislike any Spurs but this dude is someone I never want to see play another minute of basketball for this team. Last night was incredibly atrocious.
In todays NBA, there are so many players making 10 million and above that its squeezes the lower paid guys off to Europe or elsewhere, so its important to hit on the the players with the lower end salaries to balance paying the ridiculous salaries of some superstars that aren't that super, or guys that are just making way too much salary. I can see keeping Wesley because you can see his progress over the years. In Branham, I just don't see the little steps that Wesley has made. You want a scorer, look no further than the G-League. There are plenty of them there all for less than Branham. Can't we send him down and bring up Duke or another G-Leaguer with a better skill set ?
Yeah, if he hits. Everyone here, I think including you, wrote Sochan off last year. You were all wrong. Branham's defense is not a turn style at this point, it's improved. The decisions are the decisions and problems Sochan was having and other developing players were having.
Don't put me in the position of saying he's going to be a success, but you're just being unjust, short-sighted, and just bitter about something that shouldn't be bitter about. Like I said, he costs little. If you want to believe there's no chance, that's fine, but you believed there was no chance for other players.
I will tentatively agree with Body. At this point he will get situational minutes. He has improved but by how much is the issue.
I get the feeling we going to hear about Branham not being happy soon. He thinks he deserves to play big minutes, probably can’t reconcile why Wesley and Castle leapfrogged him among the guards. No place for him if the spurs use their two first round picks.
As I wrote a handful of times, Branham's biggest issue is that he's the most common archetype in the league.
PATFO drafted him because they though he also has defensive upside with his wingspan, but he doesn't.
He's a scoring guard with very little playmaking skills if we're talking running the offense. He's also an average athlete and a pretty bad defender. Whether it be defensive athleticism or situational awareness.
He's a negative on both ends if he doesn't get hot and shoots at a high percentage.
You can find a handful of Branhams at the end of every team's bench. Especially nowdays when the league is moving away from guards being just scorers.
Wesley on the other hand is a worse player right now, but a way less common archetype because point of attack defenders are really hard to find these days.
actually wesley got ditched just as he was, it just happens that he won the minutes he never deserved to lose back.. branham likely is the odd man out, but i don't think he deserves it, and games where we can't hit anything, are a cautionary tale.
Branhim ranks in the 1st Percentile in CraftedDPM and the 9th Percentile in CraftedOPM. He's quite literally one of the worst players in the league. But hey, maybe he'll turn it around. Anything is possible I guess.

By comparison... Blake is 8th Percentile in CraftedOPM, so even worse than Branham offensively, but he's 58th Percentile in CraftedDPM (so an above-median defender). So at least Wesley has that. Along the same lines, Keldon is 3rd percentile in CraftedDPM, so just about as bad as Branham, but is 59th in CraftedOPM (so an above-median offensive player). Being a bottom 10 percent player on BOTH sides of the ball is pretty bad.
One of?
