    As far as the Pops/Sims comparisons go, I think the biggest thing is that Pops has been with the Toros for several weeks now and has 4 games and lots of practices in the Spurs system. The Spurs have the luxury of a much more hands on approach with Pops, so they know a little more about what they are getting. With Sims you just bring him in and hope for the best.

    I agree, and I actually like the move by the Spurs to bring Pops in for a look. (That's why I started the thread.) I was just pointing out that EricB is harshly critical of non-spurs while always defending guys that, if they were not Spurs, he would almost definitely say were scrubs. He's the biggest homer on this site. You can bet that if Dallas had assigned Pops to their d league affiliate, EricB would say "lol he sucks" and if someone else posted saying Pops has the potential to be an athletic 10th man, EricB would say " your (sic) stupid and don't know anything about basketball, go back to SpursReport."

    Well, Sims is still with the Suns. Sims is definitely a more polished offensive player, but he seems to rely more on his size advantage in the D-League than anything else. There is a noticeable difference between his energy level and Pops' -- at least from the games I've seen. I would like to get Pops on the Spurs if only to recreate the transition offense we had when Elson was here.

    A couple.

    Sims is very much a Mark Blount type of player.

    You're so way off base. It's called English. Quit while you're ahead.

    I'm so off base that I predicted you would spell your wrong in my post and even followed it with (sic) to alert you, and you still spelled it wrong!

    That's why I knew you were TPark. 4th grade spelling mistakes.

    Please stop debating me-- you are just embarrassing yo-self.

    You're shooting yourself in the foot, again. In Blount's best year, he averaged 12 & 6. He played in the league for 9 years. How is that a bad projection for a 5th big?

    Came in a few minutes ago. Anaheim can be tough since they have what has to be currently the biggest lineup in the league. The Toros have Squeaky Johnson and Ezra Williams back though, so that's good.

    Type of game, not player.

    Good lord. Get a life.

    Please tell me he is having an off night at the charity stripe... ok, they said he is 60 something, so I guess so, since he's 20% right now.

    Bruno usually is able to watch.

    The Toros really dominate the boards when Pops and Eric Dawson are out there together.

    Damn, Pops is really athletic. That's the first jam I had a good angle on, he got up there effortlessly. , missed the alley when I was posting. 17 and 13 aready. Now at 19, 20 if he gets the And1.

    Only for those countries where the league sells the broadband package are able to see it... I see all my games via slingbox from a TV in Phoenix... so Uruguay has their ip country code blacked out for any NBA transmission... oh well... i could hook work's laptop and see it there via VPN but i prefer to trust your judgment on Pops evolution
