Former Spur: Garrett Temple

[8FOR!3]

I really hate we got rid of this guy to be honest. He's a 6'6 combo guard who's an excellent defender. I understand that he wasn't playing well, but I think sitting him at the end of the bench or on the inactive list would be better than just cutting him. He's shown potential on the team last year and should've gotten more of a chance. If we think we're getting a better package though out of Chris Quinn, go for it.

I don't think it effects the outlook on the team, but I think in the future it would have been nice having a guy like him on the roster.

I agree. I don't think Temple would have made a huge impact this season, but I think he could have been a nice chip next year and perhaps beyond.

Temple showed nothing in preseason and continued his horrible play in the season. He sealed his own fate.


His tweet the other day probably indicated he's trying to decide between Europe and the D-League.

Temple's a good guy who has talent, I wish him well.

Good for Garrett. He may not catch on this year, but maybe he earns a SL contract and a training camp invite from someone.

Sherron Collins missed two flights, so Bobcats signed Temple

Mar 7

The AP reports:
Two missed flights have ended guard Sherron Collins’ chance of returning to the Charlotte Bobcats.
Coach Paul Silas says they planned to bring back the undrafted rookie from Kansas after waiving him, but withdrew the offer last week after Collins missed two flights the team had arranged from his hometown of Chicago.
The Bobcats filled the roster spot Monday by signing guard Garrett Temple of the NBA Development League to a 10-day contract.
