he was drafted with the 59th pick, wgaf
I mean, what is the difference? Everytime the Spurs draft a 6'-5" american SG it just seems to never workout. Someone please tell me the last time it did..........
Just sayin, this years draft selection seems just like the year we drafted JA.
We will be looking to unload Denmon the same as we are Anderson....... book it.

Terrible comparison, tbh.
The difference is Marcus is a tweener. He can handle the ball as well as Gary Neal can, and can create for himself an others. Hes not afraid to take the big shot and
Will attack the basket as well. At one point in time this season he was a legit contender for Player Of The Year
How so? Both were lauded about their scoring and shooting. Both either led their teams or conference in scoring. But, the size thing was an issue with both. So, you think Marcus will produce more than Anderson has???
This is a good thing?
OMG, and they're both black!!
Did you even watch either player play college ball?
Anderson was picked higher than anyone the Spurs had picked after Tim Duncan. He doesn't have size issues, he just had a really bad injury, the type of injury that has destroyed many careers. He had huge potential to be a legit NBA player and perhaps still does.
Denmon is a 59th pick wildcard, his chances of ever playing an NBA game are miniscule anyway. Think Jack McClinton but maybe with a bit better chances to make it.
How has size ever been an issue with James Anderson? Hes 6'6. Last I checked that was pretty much prototypical size for a SG.
Marcus Denmon, at 6'3, on the other hand is a little short.
If we dont use him as the point it is. Hes much quicker than Neal, so if we work on his ball handling and can have a 2 guard that can put it on the floor that would be real nice. And also hes not like most shooters who are just a spot up shooter or are just better shooting off the dribble, he can do both
Well, it's better than Beno at least.
+1. Size, Speed, Balls. The rest can be taught.

Didn't realize he was on the 2/15 upset.

Exactly
It's as if Spursfans expect the next Manu with whoever we draft in the second round
Even then our second rounders have been better than most. Last season's team had TWO 2009 second rounders starting, and a third filling out the rotation.
How about that. Blair(37), Green(46), and Mills(55). De Colo(53) could join them next season.
Jack McClinton 2.0
And the guys who took unspectacular guys late in the first round of that draft will gape in awe as the Spurs do another deep playoff run with those guys.
The problem is expecting anything out of a 59th pick.
Most guys in the range don't play a lick in the NBA even.
Jack McClinton is a better comparison for what it will mean to the team, which means not much. Would have rather spun the dial on a young euro.
Yup...just cuz Manu turned out awesome we should think others will. No expectations then we are pleasantly suprised when they do turn out ok. Only way we get better is thru trade.
Gary Neal can handle the ball?
Haha Gary couldn't even dribble the ball without turning it over..
bnsf
Yea I don't understand why they have such a fascination with guards we already have enough of those this team needs a bigman.
Why on Earth didn't they draft a skilled, athletic big man with a massive wingspan and a great motor at #59?
