2011-2012: Most Dependable Spurs Player (wings & backcourt)

[jag]

By "dependable" I mean:

-Reliable
-Hardy (capable of enduring fatigue, hardship, exposure, etc,; sturdy)
-Able-bodied and physically fit while exhibiting resistance to injuries during this fast-paced and tumultuous schedule.
-Consistent


**I just included some of the wing players and backcourt players in this thread because I feel the frontcourt players have different expectations and require a thread of their own. **


Let's talk about it...

[timvp]

ElNono to vote for Manu in 3 ... 2 ...

[ElNono]

No, I voted for RJ... can't think the last time he missed a game due to injury...

[ElNono]

Tony is definitely there... all the kids too, but it's somewhat expected since they're kids...

Neal also I think didn't miss much of any games.

Manu is certainly last in the list, no doubt about it.

[ElNono]

List is also missing Anderson, but he's another guy that bottoms out.

[jag]

You feel he meets this criteria as well?:

[ffadicted]

Obvious answer is obvious

[ElNono]

You feel he meets this criteria as well?:

I thought this was about fitness and injury-related.

If you're looking for consistency in general, including production, this season is probably Tony, no question about it.

[timvp]

Tbh, I think ElNono is on to something. RJ fits the criteria. He's dependably bad. He is reliable in that he only shoots threes and does nothing else. He never gets hurt. I don't think I've ever seen him even wince in pain this season.

Game in, game out you know what you are going to get out of RJ more than any player on the team.

The first part explains the second.

I completely understand the confusion. I tried to cover everything with regard to "Dependability". I really only included one line about injury. The other line (Hardiness) was more about ability to fight fatigue.

He's not very consistent though. Some games he'll do a little rebounding and hustle back on D, other days he does his invisible thing.

[SA210]

I have faith that Manu always brings his heart.

[hater]

in past years the true Ironman was Bowen. I see and hope Kawhi taking this role. Thus why I voted for him

Exactly. You know you're getting half-assed effort night in and night out. It's been a recurring theme since he's been in here.

Tony can have up and down nights, but RJ is just consistently mediocre.

Damn. Just tell everyone who to vote for and be done with it.

[xellos88330]

Parker and it's not even close at this juncture.

[Kewni Leonard]

Parker for this season, surprisingly.

[Mr Fundamental]

Danny Green.

[jag]

Looking at the votes, it appears Spurstalk thinks Tony Parker has been our most dependable (backcourt or wing) player this season. The more I think about it, I can't help but feel that we have all made the correct choice.

I guess we've become so accustomed to Tony being our most consistent contributor to winning basketball that we forget how truly great he really is and how blessed we are as a fan base to have such an amazing, healthy, selfless, winner and current All-Star (our only representative).

There's no reason to expect anything other than Tony continuing to be our solid rock for many years to come. Let's all (myself included) make a conscious effort to no longer allow ourselves to take for granted the incredible player, and person, we have the privilege of calling our PG.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Danny Green.

this

once he gets efficient with his shooting and finishin at the rim...he be a good 2 way player

The CoP approves this message

Actually, now would be the time to trade him, because he's being overrated by the entire league, presently. He's putting up strong numbers offensively, but those will only go down sharply in the seasons to come, and he's still as bad at defense as he ever was.

The Spurs give up more points when Parker is on the bench than any other player on the team.

Then again, I guess "he's still as bad at defense as he ever was" could technically be correct because Spurs fans have always underrated his defense.

You are certainly en led to your opinion, but this thread is not about trade ideas. I would like to respectfully direct to The Think Tank where such posts are acceptable.

This thread is, however, about the most dependable (backcourt or wing) player for the Spurs this season. And yes, I do agree Tony is putting up strong numbers offensively.
