He should've gotten an X-10 offer from the Spurs already. Could easily be holding out to see if some other team gives him something better.
Unfortunately spurs dont need this guy. Our backcourt is already stacked. He is just like fox.

its not like the spurs are going to have a 15 man rotation. the guys at the bottom should be redundant with guys we have, as injury insurance. and nothing prevents them from getting assigned to austin
A guy with an Hispanic surname playing on the Spurs, we need to sign this guy.
This guy appears to have earned at minimum a two way contract, but maybe is holding out for a minimum NBA contract. Even is he is redundant, someone will eventually get injured or need rest and he can then play a few spot minutes. Wesley and Branham got 3 years worth of chances, this guy deserves at least a chance to show what he has for a lot less.
If he’s signed & developed by the Spurs but is not needed, he could become a viable asset to be traded for someone we do need.
that was kinda my point. Branham is in the NBA. Bassey used to put up 30/20 games in the G-League. They are borderline NBA players, but they play in the NBA as third stringers. That‘s where Jones-Garcia should be. If he can be more than an end of the bench guy has to be seen.
Offer him the Champ contract imo. If he's a flash in the pan it only affects this season's cap; if he's more he's under team control for a few years.
lol Fox is considered top 25 player in NBA. So you let a taller version of Fox walk ?
How tall is this guy actually. I’ve seen mentions from 6-3.5 to 6-6 which is more than the “shoe variance” typically accounts for.
What if he legit wins rookie of the year?
If Harper plays, I hope they ask J-G to play more off-ball and see how he does. I hope they ask him anyway. I see value as a deep bench primary scorer in the Johnathan Simmons mold. The team needs talent and adding him could be useful. Scrappy guys who came up the hard way are great.
He may be looking for a different opportunity, as the guard rotation is fairly thick. I like his efforts on defense, quick hands and great effort.
measured 6‘3.5“ at the 2024 draft combine. 6‘6“ is a fantasy number, he was listed at college, fake number, like so many in college. (Sochan 6‘9“ or Ace 6‘10“)
6-3.5 without, 6-4.75 with. Think more like Victor Oladipo rather than Devin Vassell. So he's big enough to be an SG but not an SF.
We all like the guy. Great scorer. Cheap. Could easily be end of bench guy for this team (like Malaki).
But the Spurs already tried that; 8-9 "wings" that are really undersized shooting guards with overstated heights that barely play while suffering to find viable backup 4s and 5s when injuries occur. Bassey? Bismack Biyombo? And that's even when you consider Sochan can't shoot, Barnes defense is waning and NO starter worthy player above 6'8" beside Wemby.
This team needed John Collins or someone like him but I'm assuming the price was too high or the cost was too much. It needs a REAL 6'8" or 6'9" starter caliber player vs. another end of the bench scoring 2 guard. I know it won't happen as most of those guys are already on other teams by now but DJG as a subs ute is wasteful unless he's tradebait.
It seems you’re under the impression that the 14th/15th guy on the roster is a part of the regular rotation
100%
Maybe he even becomes a nice trade asset for you.
Not at all. But the 14th/15th guy on THIS team would probably see more minutes/development if he could actually rebound and defend bigger players (ie. a true wing).
Maybe, just maybe, the Spurs luck out and when the bigs inevitably get hurt, the 14th guy can actually contribute more than a 6'3" wing.
I'll take Mamu over DJG at 14.
Of course. But Mamu wouldn’t take us at 14. He wants to play.
I’ve seen enough. Get this man a contract tbh.
He should replace vassel’s spot
Sign this guy! Give him Champ money, let him stuff some stat sheets in G league, showcase him two or three games leading up to the trade deadline (ideally against opponents in the market for a cheap rotation guard), and profit.
Why are there challenges in SL, ffs.
Shouldn't be a thing until the final 5 minutes of the game, noone cares.
