Spurs Summer League Roster 2008

[Bruno]

There was a one-on-one streetball style tournament a couple of years ago on MTV, does anyone know if Sy is the French kid that won it?

IIRC it was called "Battlegrounds."

Yes, it was him.

He played last year in Greece and had a good season but I doubt he has a NBA level.

[T Park]

3 George Hill G 6-2 180 UNC-Greensboro

Did he transfer and not mention this to anyone?

[T Park]

Amar Sy has one of the worst player mix youtubes I've probobly ever seen.

Footage of a free throw shot? Wow.

[Kori Ellis]

17 players ?
Even if Spurs will play 8 games in 9 days, that's a lot.
Theres isn't "big names" in this roster. I wonder if it's because Spurs struggle to attract these players in their SL team or if it's because they want that Mahinmi and Spurs' drafted players are their SL teams main weapons.

No Sanikidze is quite a surprise. I hope for him that he isn't again injured.

Summer league teams usually have 17-20 players on them (at least when they start mini-camp before the games). But usually about 15 of them end up playing.

Gist
Hairston
Mahinmi
Hill

let em loose (insert summer league coach)

I'm gonna predict its Brett Brown.

[Sissiborgo]

should be ok

2008 spurs Summer League Roster


1 Jamaal Tatum C 6-2 175 Southern Illinois

holy , sign this guy, he must be really good playing center at 6-2 height only...whats his wingspan?

[Sissiborgo]

That one was a killer on elson hahaha

[Darkwaters]

holy , sign this guy, he must be really good playing center at 6-2 height only...whats his wingspan?

I saw that too and thought the same thing.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Please don't let Newman coach.

[SPURSGOAT]

When is the Spurs' first summer league game?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I just noticed Budenholzer is coaching.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Maric is an interesting prospect. He can shoot and is pretty scrappy on the boards and on D.

Bummed to not see Viktor on the roster.

[timvp]

I just noticed Budenholzer is coaching.

Good. Don Newman needs to stay as far away as possible.

[AFBlue]

Didn't Hill mention that Maric was a part of the workout that he participated in with the Spurs?

Other than Maric, it looks pretty thin on the frontline. I guess they'll be looking for Mahinmi to step up bigtime in this setting. Here's hoping he doesn't disappoint

[Kori Ellis]

Here's the official press release with the roster...

[Kori Ellis]

There's some different players on the roster I just posted than the original one.

[jag]

This place will implode if Mahinmi has a rough time in vegas.

[angelbelow]

holy , sign this guy, he must be really good playing center at 6-2 height only...whats his wingspan?

LOL!

ot- is bleach off fillers or what?

[Spurs Brazil]

COACHING STAFF: Mike Budenholzer, Mike Wells, Chad Forcier, Quin Snyder, Roy Rogers, Robert Pack, Patrick Spurgin

Robert Pack??? The former Nuggets player?

[SequSpur]

Why isn't Matt Bonner playing in the fukin summer league? He needs it, probably cuz he's so ty.........

[ChumpDumper]

This place will implode if Mahinmi has a rough time in vegas.

Can't foul out, so I don't see a problem.

30 Anthony Fuqua C 6-11 225 02/16/83 Texas-San Antonio R

FOOK!

[timvp]

So no Sy and no Maric but Anthony "Faqua". Damn, I was looking forward to Sy and Maric. "Faqua" (or spelled correctly Fuqua) is a borderline D-League player.

Oh well, hopefully more time for other players.





P.S.

@ Newman not being on the coaching staff. Very cool to see the D-League coaches on the staff plus Wells and Forcier. Pack always played hard as a player, could perhaps make a good coach one day. Patrick Spurgin? Who dat?

[angelbelow]

maric gone?

[wildbill2u]

So much for the Saniskidze fans bubble. Let's just write him off.
