I was like who the is that dude? That shot was nice, he has a smooth release. Now please BENCH BONNER and ERRORS.
^ that's true. I was thinking he could be mobile enough to guard many back up SF but too soon to tell. It'd be neat to see him at the 3 and Leonard at the 4 for some stretches where the spurs go small ball.
Side note, Interestingly the kid has the same wingspan as Leonard at around 7'3"
It's weird, because some of us are being sarcastic in this thread, but some are being serious.
Real-talk: He'll probably get a chance to compete with Jean-Charles/Bertans for the backup SF job next year.
5 of the Spurs next 7 games should be blowouts tbh. Here's hoping he gets garbage mins to showcase his shooting.
i'm mostly being serious, but that's because i don't believe in talent at all. I believe in measurables, "intangibles" and training. Meaning if someone has the size and physical attributes to do something, all he has to do is work on it as much as it takes. Daye has the size and soft hands to make things work, if he does that or not it's entirely on him. Right now he's of course utter , and i really have no intention of asking him to get playing time (let alone in the play offs), i just think there is material to work on.
Thread has gone full aspie
and I agree. The tools are interesting. He's a combo players at the right positions, unlike what the spurs gave up who was a 1/2 combo which is perhaps the worst type of combo player to be in this league.
He's a Per Minute All-Star, tbh. Maybe Per Minute League MVP?
Well, a lot of folks thought Nando was gonna be great--the next Manu--when he first got here. It was nice to see the young fella wasn't afraid to shoot in his debut, but one robin doesn't make a Spring nor 45 seconds a career. With more exposure we'll come to know his strengths and weaknesses.
I hope he turns out to be the tall, good shooting SF with defensive quicness we've been looking for a long time.
He can shoot, but can he defend? that is all it really matters, can this guy take some of ky's minutes and not have a mismatch at SF?
Never go full aspie...
what's aspie?
If he can use those long arms to defend/block/steal then prepare again fro a deep run
I can't tell if y'all are being serious or sarcastic. Surely people aren't dumb enough to use a 2 minute sample size as the sole basis for their judgment on a player.
I'm all down for giving him Ayres/Bonners minutes...but let's slow down with acting like this dude is about to crack the rotation and play a noticeable role in this upcoming postseason. The chances of that happening are slim to none.
Assburgers
They cook up really nice.
Yeah, it's hard to figure out who's being serious.
Real-talk: he's got the potential to be a Kevin Garnett type of player. Except he's more athletic than KG was at his age, which allows him to be so versatile. We haven't had a SF this well-rounded since Sean Elliott. I think Daye is the prototype for what future NBA players will look like. Life after Duncan doesn't look so bad now with Joseph, Baynes and Daye developing the way they are. I'm excited for the future.
per 36: 288pts, 48 rebs, 48ast
The best part is all the nickname possibilities. I haven't seen this one yet: Austin "All" Daye.
Spurs WS/48
.603 Daye
.173 Mills
.169 Ginobili
.168 Leonard
.162 Splitter
Daye-um!
I'd disagree on the KG comparison. Judging by his height, shooting form and skin tone, I'd say he's either a more-athletic Dirk or a smarter Durant. , maybe both.
I wonder if he is going to get alot of minutes against Orlando. They could give him 15 if they wanted to. He seems like he could have the same contributions as bonner. He's so tall and has the potential to shoot the three very well and since he's so tall he could pull a big away and make the lane open for someone.
Is the blue font broken on this thread or what?
Oh my goodness...
The last time I ran into him he was twenty feet tall and covered in jewel-encrusted platinum.
The ST site isn't working very well from my laptop for several months.
