    He looked small in the court.

    I think the Spurs are loaded in the SG position with the recent signing of Mason. Unless he can play the SF, then looks like the guy is history... sorry!
    Oh, don't be sorry. I don't think the guy has a shot to make the Spurs. I was just noting that he's not that small.

    But just to note, the Spurs definitely need to sign another wing. SF/SG is interchangable to the Spurs. A guy around 6'7 would be ideal. But if they sign another 6'5-6'6 guy, who's good, that's fine too. The Spurs have a wing rotation of Bowen/Manu/Mason/Udoka. They need a 5th wing.

    I didn't see Gist get caught in the air tonight. He's good from the weak side as well, and he crashes the boards. If that jumper's consistent he might get a starting job before Ian does.
    It could be a mistake on my part, but it looked like it happened maybe once or twice. It could have been Ian because the quality wasn't very good at the resolution I was viewing. It wasn't HD

    That was Ian, 3-4 times in the game. Every time it was Gist he was swatting a shot.

    He won't be on the Toros roster next season. He'll be on the bench in San Antonio.
    I should clarify, he'll be under contract for the Spurs and assigned to the Toros.

    There was a play, I think toward the end of the first half, where someone got caught in the air. Gist was the guy that almost got to the layup in time.

    Like I said earlier in the thread. I think Gist will end up being a Jason Maxiell/Brandon Bass type of guy. Leon Powe's probably a fair comparison as well.
    Fair enough. Although Gist seems more of a tweener forward than Bass or Maxiell, who are more traditional 4's. That's why I thought of Najera and Balkman as examples.

    Those are all great comparisons in terms of style of play. Energy, hustle, athleticism.

    initial thoughts, one game in:

    Hairston is a bust and the Spurs should've drafted Hendrix or Walker instead, Buford and Pop misfired there, but the Gist pick makes up for it
    one game of summer league and Hairston's a bust -wow that's a little premature don't you think?

    What would you say his ceiling is? Balkman? Najera? Ariza?
    Bo Outlaw. Better J than him though.

    If there's a concern with Hairston's size, it's in his waistline.

    I should clarify, I think he'll be on the Spurs opening day roster. As a Spur.

    Maxiell is like 6'7 or shorter (though thick), so many people consider him a tweener too. I think Gist is definitely an athletic 4. He's very similar in size to Bass.

    I disagree. I'm interested in seeing how he responds to a bad game. Every player lays an egg sometimes.

    Hey Ian could score in the paint and had several good shots from 10 feet away... He had a solid game..

    I don't know what it is about him though...he is just like rasho and the other bigs the spurs have had... just seems like he has his head up his ass alot.... Crap... get aggressive!!! Throw it down or something, block a shot into the stands, , even if it's a foul... I would just like to see some aggression for once at that position..

    Maxiell plays bigger than he is, like Barkley.

    Me too. I watch a lot of college hoops. He was always one of those guys that I figured would be looked back on as a draft day steal in 3-4 years. Maxiell is the guy I always came back to. But I think he's more consistent in what he brings to the table every night than Maxiell.

    I recall Ostertag making TD look like a bust in his first summerleague game.

    Hairston missed wide open shots. But he's been a very good shooter over the last six or so years so I doubt he'll keep missing wide open jumpers. I want to see if he can pick up his play if he knocks down a few and gets rolling. I'm not quite putting him in the Marcus Williams and Chris Carrawell pile just yet ... but he'll need to play a whole of a lot better to make the Spurs.

    No he's not - if he doesn't make the team and contribute then he's a bust. Right now - he just didn't have a good game.
