I really find it hard to imagine that the Spurs will sign both Cotton and Mills.
I gather Spurs so some unexpected talent in Cotton that he was worth sigining if though there's a looming log jam at guard.
Cotton is definitely a kid worth taking a gamble on. His fight, character and drive are incredible. He's talented enough to carve out a niche with a team.
Four years ago he was an u heard of 1-star HS prospect not even worth a glance from the local university, Arizona. He really fought to improve.

His game is more like mike conley... Can pass the ball and play pick and roll... also has a good shooting touch..
Cotton definitely has more potential than the average undrafted training camp/summer league signing. And the timing is dramatic given Mills's injury and Cotton's similarity to Mills.
But the most likely outcome is still that Cotton's cut in training camp and gets picked up by the Toros.
Spurs front office knows what they're doing. they don't want another franchise taking a flyer on this dude, he'll be in camp and then cut and Toros will take him allowing Pop to call him up for spot work here and there and truly evaluating him during that time. That is unless he flat out kills it in Summer League and someone else does the same thing when they cut him.
Conley can't shoot.
The next Speedy Claxton?
Just another terrific move by Executive of the Year RC Buford tbh.
L.A. Clippers Mini-Combine Recap and Analysis
May 22, 2014
Bryce Cotton, 6 points, 4 assists, 1 turnover, 2-for-4 FGs
Cotton didn't have much of an impact as a scorer with Wilbekin blanketing him for most of the scrimmage. He was able to knock down a mid-range pull up and a floater but he struggled getting all the way to the rim and breaking free of his man consistently. Cotton did find his teammates on multiple occasions and showed some point guard skills to go along with his scoring prowess, but his size limitations really stood out.
Remember, this guy wasn't drafted.
By anyone.
Don't pencil him in on the Spurs roster just yet.
I think he is as fast as Patty and his dribbling/ball handle may be better than Patty.
Would they give him a 2 year deal if they planned on waiving him during camp? Or are you implying they just plan to send him to Austin?
Yes. Not unusual at all.
Yes. Teams like to give their players as long of deals as possible if there are non-guaranteed years. Remember, Thomas was waived after signing a two-year deal last year.
Eager to watch Bryce/Slowmo backcourt kill it in summer league!
Where do you watch summer league ball. Youtube? Is it free or do I have to pay for it?
Yes -Not too big of a deal to pay 600K per year for a player you believe has potential.
The Spurs blew two late 2nd rounders on a nobody like Dragubic or whatever instead of using one on this guy.
He has high energy, looks quick as and seems like a good shooter.
I feel Mills' injury basically makes his re-signing a given (he'll be cheaper). Spurs have proven they can hide shorter point guards on defense a bit, so I expect Cotton to get a good shot behind Joseph. Joseph really needs to learn how to shoot or his days may be numbered.
The guaranteed amount could be very small, as little as 50K. Easy to cut if he isn't any good, but cheap to keep if he works out.
It's not fully guaranteed, so getting waived out of camp is a distinct possibility.
15 bucks, Uncle Scrooge.

He's clearly not the shooter Mills is, but should improve. What he replicates is a super-high motor, capable of running and running forever.
After the UNC-Providence game in the first round of the NCAAT coach Roy said Cotton played one of the best games of anybody he'd ever coached against. (Difficulty: Roy Williams is a suck-ass coach and they weren't great this year.)
Williams compared him to Lindsay Hunter. If Cotton is nearly as good as Hunter was, I'll take it 20x.
You are kidding right? Conley have better shooting percentages than Cotton...
doesnt there HAVE to be a trade in the works here?
Exact same thing that happened when we drafted Kyle Anderson. There is a reason he fell, there is a reason cotton wasnt drafted, hopefully those reasons are able to be fixed by SA, but yes, homers will be homers.
