, give him a legit chance to earn the spot..everyone seems to have a pretty solid opinion on him, I'd rather not choose, just rather have him get a shot at least.

he had a decent shot last year - but after owning boggans in the pre-season, he still got killed and sent to the bench. CIA pop baby!!!

Folks.... you guys have to realize that Hairston is too small for the kind of game he plays (i.e. SF). Furthermore, he just isn't a natural shooter, so he's not going to be able to develop the reliable shot the Spurs need for that position.

Alonzo Gee has more upside (i.e. being at least an inch taller).

Both however, aren't really shooters and both can't handle the ball well enough to create off the dribble.

IIRC, malik played the 4 spot in college, so he will take a long time to develop great nba ball handling skills.

as far as height and guarding ability, i think that he can use his strong body to prevent post-ups and his lateral movement is good enough to keep up with most SGs, not to mention SFs. heck, at one point in the PO, pop asked malik to guard nash. granted that was not the best of decisions, but that should give you some assurance.

so im guessing the people who say malik cant guard @ sf has never seen him play as a spur am i right? when malik did guard a sf he got alot of blocks this man has some great d.

oh yea did i mention he can do this
