if he can develop i see him as a long athletic 3/4
This guy sounds like a replacement for Bruce, plus the long 3, plus the small ball PF.
The dude has an 88 inch wing span and a 36 inch vert...how in the can you people not be excited about that ?
if he can develop i see him as a long athletic 3/4
No ? I had him pegged as a backup PG myself...
i thought id state the obvious for those who are slightly re ed
Yourself, for example?
some people see him as only playing the 3 or only the 4 when he has the potential to play both
I agree.........and first team All Defense Team in the ACC !
Yeah I agree.
Just makes you wonder why he went all the way to 57.
Hopefully he plays well in summer league and training camp and can get a shot.
The only negative about him, outside of his shooting and rebounding, is that he went to Maryland....Steve Francis is enough to make me wary of all Maryland draftees forever more.
Steve Blake went there
But then again, didn't Melvin Ely?
Well, on to the more important " ", if he sticks... do we finally have a player for the dunk contest?
Blake, Dixon, Wilcox,(BaxterSteve Blake went there
But then again, didn't Melvin Ely?
Melvin Ely I think went to Fresno St.(Home of the National Champs)
Oh, and my boy Dominic McGuire!
that would be nice
wish james white would have gone when he was still a spur. he had mad hops
2nd comin of kenyon martin?
It seems like he does have the potential of being at least a decent 3 shooter:
07 3 shooting:
9-21 3FG
429%
08 3 shooting:
22-71 3FG
310%
Yeah he's not going to make anyone forget Steve Kerr...or even Bruce Bowen, but at least he's got something there...
And 3 shooting is generally something that immediately improves for every guy that joins the Spurs(except for the pure 3 shooters we sign).
Honestly...on paper this guy sounds perfect.
just SICK!
Nasty!
Imagine Tony on a fast break with Gist...
Gets a decent amount of steals too...
Yeah Gist has the tools.
Once again, what made him fall so far though?
imagine this 4 smallball
PG:TP
SG:Manu
SF:JR Smith
PF:Gist
C:Mahimi
Because he's a tweener...doesn't have the offensive game of a SF or the size of a PF. And he because he supposedly disappears and becomes passive on offense. He probably has a ty handle too...
But his defense and athleticism are unquestioned...
IMO, his proven ability to improve is a huge bonus to his NBA viability.
The thing is...most teams want and need offense from their SF, the Spurs really don't. Tim Duncan eliminates that being a necessity for Spurs SF...and Bruce can't handle the ball either...hasn't been a problem during the 3 championships we've won with him as starting SF.
looks like he's a shot blocking, dunking machine..........that's what we need.......energy!!!
Very true.
Spurs have the benefit of a good shooting coach who can help him out on his shot.
Sounds like hes got confidence in it.
Could this be the sleeper Derrick McKey?
Tony / Hill / Vaughn
Manu / JR-A-A / Barry
Bowen / Ime / Gist
Tim / Ian
Oberto / Thomas or Jav
1. Viktor
2. Malik/SOE/No One
Gist might be a tad raw for the regular team, but damn, a guy with his athleticism, jumping ability and his chance to swing from the 3 to 4. That makes him quite interesting.
