Nando>>>Cojo
in De Colo and CoJo, just keep Neal and Mills as backup SGs. Therefore it plays to all their strength.
Nando>>>Cojo
We're going to have a mess on our hands finding playing time for guys who deserve minutes once KL and Jack get back.
It would be nice to have the luxury to keep all four. Each have strengths and are Spur type guys. Hanging with Pop for as long as possible will be good for these lads.
Cujo's still way too raw for the playoffs, tbh. I like Nando's D, playmaking and good-enough shooting, but he's going to have to cut back on those unnecessary flashy passes because they won't fly in the playoffs.
Use Nando as the backup PG, and CoJo is good enough to be an injury insurance. Plus, Manu can some minutes at PG. Just don't make Neal and Milles play PGs.
If everyone gets healthy, I'd bet Neal is still the backup point guard. De Colo is probably the next in line. Mills has fallen into a change-of-pace role, which probably suits him best anyways.
Joseph is still on the Toros if everyone else is healthy.
cojo is hands down the best option for back up pg ....
1. cojo gets to the rim & finishes
2. cojo does not commit turnovers
3. cojo has impressive defense
I agree this might still be what Pop will do. Right now, Neal is surely more value to the team, but I just doubt a PG Neal will necessarily be better than De Colo or even CoJo. He just has no court-vision instinct and has subpar dribbling at a PG level.
Joseph has looked soft in most of the meaningful minutes he has received, tbh..I don't buy the hype..he would get devoured in the playoffs, tbh..
I doubt there are many better #3 PGs even in playoff teams.
Maybe, but #3 PGs generally don't get minutes in the playoffs, which is my point..Joseph isn't ready to play a #2 role..
Agreed. I feel much more comfortable with Nando running point than Joseph. That being said, I like what I see out of both players.
Mills has virtually no place in the playoffs, aside from blowouts, and even in blowouts you shouldn't play Mills with Nando AND Cujo -- that mini me crap is too pathetic even for a 40 point blowout in the playoffs.
of course, we can only have 13 players on the active roster at any given one time. So to me Mills is the odd man out.
As it stands, our playoff bench should be Manu, Green, Tiago, Neal, Nando, Anderson & the turd towers. Leaves us pretty damn thin up front, so we should pursue a trade for a decent good defensive and rebounding big man who can finish and is not too raw or dumb. Anyone I listed above after Tiago, along with the starters, is touchable in the event of a trade.
Neal, Anderson, the turd towers, Mills and Cujo are all tradeable
Agree with what you said. My point is that even so, most teams still don't hesitate playing their #3 PGs when injury happens rather than converting non-PG to play PG.
At this point, I wouldn't trade Neal since he is a unique microwave-type player. Of course, if we can dream of getting Varejo, that's another story.
Yes to De Colo, No to Joseph. Joseph's too raw and hasn't figured out how to use his talents effectively. His defense is great, he moves on the court very well, but that just hasn't translated to a positive +/- (even when he doesn't play rubbish minutes). Mills and Neal have probably been shifted to the SG role, although I still see Pop using Mills as the backup PG against quicker guards like Ty Lawson.
He will walk if we don't trade him
Really like CuJo improvement this year. He plays great D and is becoming more confidence on
offense.
I might not be a De Colo fan, but it's not that hard to see that he's a natural point guard.
Good news is Spurs can play with short shooting guards cause Joseph and De Colo can guard twos.
and Manu.
How many players on the spurs can play now point---Tony, Paddy, Nando, Gary, Cory and Manu.
