Looks fine. It's counting on the development of some young guys, but I actually prefer that to hoping for a delay in the tification of the older players' games.
squad is not looking very good... not like it was a couple years ago...

When a Mavs fan says it's not looking good, that's a good thing for the Spurs, particularly since they lost to the Mavericks "a couple of years ago".
That doesnt look too bad for the Spurs. I would still add a spot on 3 pt shooter though. I don't know how Mason/Gist or Hill are at shooting the 3 ball. I do know that Parker and Ginobili are marginal 3 pt shooters.
Is Tolliver being considered a SF now?
Not likely to play the three. Hes a shooting 4 and most likely thats all he will ever be.
Maybe Tony, but Manu's great from the 3. Mason is also a great 3 shooter, around 40% as I recall. No idea on Gist or Hill, but I wouldn't count on either of them. If Tolliver makes it, we have another shooting big man. And whenever Finley isn't in a coma, he's good from behing the arc as well.
At least this squad looks able to win in the first round of the playoffs.
If Mason can shoot 40% on 3's in Washington then I've got high hopes for his 3pt% here.
I was thinking the same thing, can we wait till closer to camp. By that time the name of the thread will be "The Realest of all depth charts Part V."
Maybe a more accurate way to dub the Spurs team:
Bigs: Duncan, Thomas, Mahinmi, Oberto
Small Power Forwards: Tolliver, Gist
Wings: Ginobili, Bowen, Mason, Udoka, *Finley
Points: Parker, Vaughn, Hill
Bonner?
Okay, it's July 23rd and we have signed Thomas and Tolliver
C Thomas Oberto Mahinmi,
PF Duncan Bonner Tolliver(R)
SF Bowen Udoka Gist (R)
SG Mason Ginobili Finley(FA)
PG Parker Hill (R) Vaughn
We have yet to sign Finley, Gist and Hill. With only 12 players on an active roster wit 3 on reserve, it's becoming real dicey as to who is in the reserve list.
C Thomas Oberto Mahinmi,
PF Duncan Bonner Tolliver(R)
SF Bowen Udoka Gist (R)
SG Mason Ginobili Finley(FA)
PG Parker Hill (R) Vaughn
Marked in bold is most likely a reserve player. I doubt Finley or Bonner are going to be thrilled as a reserve player. I would prefer however that our younger players get enough playing time.
I've got my fingers crossed, hoping that we DON'T sign Finley. He's just going to take away playing time from our younger players. We need them to develop fast!

Nah, not really
Only by people who haven't been paying attention.
My second mea culpa in 2 days. Yesterday I had to soften my stance on Ginobli's trade value and today I'm going to eat crow and say that the jury is still out on Hairston--whom, after 1 SL game, I pronounced a "bust." Not so fast, it seems.
The chances of Hairston making the team are extremely slim, but I think Spurs brass will still give him a fair shake in training camp. I did not see his final two game RMR games, but they represented marked statistical improvement. Maybe Hairston simply waited too long to assert himself and has not shown his best yet. The final roster spot will come down to Hairston and Gist, with Gist being the heavy favorite. I'd prefer that final spot to come down to Hairston and Finley (or some other LLE reserve guard). But you can't have everything.
Now, this is all assuming Bonner. If he is moved, then all bets are off.
So now that Manu has made it official, whats the depth chart and rotations at the 2 gonna look like?
Why is a 10 year old thread bumped?
depth chart is still evolving
