D-League player Eric Dawson to sign 10-day contract with Spurs

**therealtruth** · 02-22-2012

Because he's undersized and not very athletic. I know he's averaging 1.5 or 6 bpg in the D-League, but unless he's the second coming of Al Jefferson, I seriously doubt he'd be much of a presence at this level given his underwhelming physical tools.

I didn't say that. Guess you've got to fill your quota of things made up.

No, you're talking out of your ass, as usual.

It was an excellent take and your only issue with it is that it came from me and not your lords and saviors, the Spurs front office. I also never said "I just want the tallest player available". I said they need legit NBA caliber length and athleticism inside. It doesn't have to be some 7-5 behemoth, but it can't be some 6-9 guy with underwhelming physical tools.

I agree if you're in the D-League and you're inflated stats look like NBA stats you're probably not NBA level.

So you would have passed on Chuck Hayes.

You're stupid.

The D-League stats of the players he was pimping were worse.

I guess you haven't filled your quota of things made up for the day yet.

It's shouldn't be about stats, familiarity or who the best player is right now. Because of the situation they've put themselves in, it should be about filling a specific need. Then when Splitter returns, it can be about those things.

I know you're going to say "what does it matter if they don't play any meaningful minutes". But my plan was to actually play Benson a few minutes, so as to break up the amount Blair and Bonner play together. That's just not an acceptable pairing, not even if you have to resort to playing some D-League scrub to break them up.

You would have passed on Chuck Hayes just from seeing his listed height.

This is all that needs to be known about your basketball plan.

TD 21's answer to the Spur's lack of big men is very simple: Any 7 footer will do.

Look, TD 21. No need to go all ad hominem because your stupid plan would have passed on Chuck Hayes in favor of Will Foster.

It was a stupid idea.

Yes, you had a meltdown in your previous post.

You ran out of defenses for your plan so decided to attack me personally.

Happens all the time.

Another meltdown.

Might as well wave a white flag, TD 21.

You can't win in a chump dumping contest with chumpdumper. the only in his armor is the 9/11 commission report.

You never read it.

Dawson’s debut ranks with the best of those of local NBA products

He became only the third San Antonio-area high school player to see action for the Spurs, joining West Campus’ Devin Brown (132 games, 2002-05) and MacArthur’s Keith Edmonson (40 games, 1983-84).

Dawson became the 13th player from a San Antonio-area high school to log time in the NBA, according to Basketball-reference.com.

Couldn't the Spurs have gone after Gustavo Ayon? The FO has been asleep as far as finding bigs that can help. I give them credit for Kawhi. Why they can't do the same for bigmen?

And in eight days, he'll be unemloyed.
