He`s inconsistent. Maybe it`s confidence, maybe little change in mechanics. Everything looks good, but dont fell in.

Kyle Anderson with the game-winning foul.
Players of the game (no order)
Darius Morris - 19pts, 4ast, 4reb, hurt his knee
Austin Daye - 18pts, 5ast, 11reb, finally
JaMychal Green - 14pts, 2ast, 9reb, limited minutes
Summer league so far:
-Daye jacking up everything and trying to prove himself
-Ayers being errors
-Darius Morris looking solid, but not on D
-Cotton struggling in every facet of the game
-Anderson as slow as advertised, and showing it's a real issue
-Marcus Denmon being a ballhog bum
-Deshaun Thomas jacking 3's and mostly missing
-JaMychal Green hustling 10x harder than everyone else out there
-Selfish, non-spurs basketball being played
-No one else other than those mentioned above getting any significant playing time
Green has hustled with limited minutes, he deserves a camp invite by someone. Anderson needs to embrace his old man game and spend a year in the d league. Ayres catching a pass and making one basket is like a revolution but he sucks so hard. Daye is 50/50 but his shot looks better, consistent with his pocket and release.
Wanted to see V. Gaddefors get some minutes.
I wonder how tough it is to allocate minutes with the tournament set up now
I don't think you watched today.
I think fans are overly critical of the concept for what is being done for the summer league with regards to the spurs. It truly looks like they are evaluating the talent in regards to their individual strengths and weaknesses. You may be mad that you DL prospect or undrafted guy isn't getting enough time out on the floor. But it looks like a wake up call for two individuals under contract going into training camp.
Most of the summer league roster are not even going to be training camp invites from the looks of it. More than likely this is what you will see:
outside of those on guaranteed money and maybe cotton. Green is the only other player on this roster that shows intrigue but you have to consider what the roster spot is going to be filled for and what minutes are available and is the d-league going to further benefit the players growth or have they hit their ceiling with the talent surrounding them? Because if it is the latter this current NBA champion spurs really don't have many minutes to provide for talented prospects unless they show an obvious niche that can be filled that DOESN'T kill chemistry and system in play with the team as a whole.
More could be said but I will just leave it at that. This spurs team already has a winning blue print what it needs for this season is something to dress the wound of mills absence and minute management.
Initial thoughts:
What do you know? Team basketball. Screens! Inside shots! Assists!
Hey, Josh Howard's available! He's the guy standing in the corner with nobody passing him the ball.
Glad for Ayres to get the game winner. He finally set a non-illegal screen AND managed to catch a pass that hit him in the hands. In the same play.
Austin Daye has so much talent, can put up gaudy numbers with almost literally no effort, and he can't block out on free throws to save his goddamn life. His ill-advised three attempt, followed by his complete and utter loss of his defensive assignment nearly cost them the game.
Morris was the opposite of the guy who played in the last game. Check under his bed for seed pods. He was really really good at times. Still makes scary stupid plays on occasion, which I wonder if he's too old to be making.
This is the second game in a row where a guy owes his future camp invite to Bryce Cotton. Holy , that guy is a terrible defender. Did he allow three and-ones IN A ING ROW? Doesn't help that the NBA three point line is beyond his shooting range.
Those of you still saying Anderson is slow are re ed.
Rey actually looked pretty good in a non-specific way. Couldn't catch a break, but based on his 90 seconds in the game, I hope he starts over Ayres next game.
Thomas can't elevate, which is a problem, but damn he's a good post player.
More after a rewatching.
LMAO. I was going to say the same thing, but I just didn't have the energy.
By the way, I hadn't realized that Ayres and Daye both volunteered to play in the SL. I'm really wishing they hadn't. Would much rather see more minutes for some of the other guys.
I like Anderson I think he shows promise and it won't be completely evident till he has had one full year within the organization and following that with a off season regiment that his him working further with his strength and conditioning and post game. With the way he uses his body he could do some terrific things inside and out of the paint.
Ayres said in his summer league interview that the news about him playing in the SL came as a surprise and caught him off guard. So im not sure he volunteered rather than agreed to play.
His ill-advised three attempt, followed by his complete and utter loss of his defensive assignment nearly cost them the game.
That did put a sour note on an otherwise nice game.
Strange. I could have sworn I heard Joel Myers say that both he and Daye had volunteered. If he was ordered to play then that probably means he's playing for his spot on the team, as is Daye. RC was probably on the phone during the game shopping for conditional second rounders.
Didn't get to watch today. How did Anderson look out there? Seems he had a decent game judging from the box score but that doesn't always tell the whole story.
He's been consistently the best player the Spurs have in SL so far, and he is without doubt the smartest. Nothing changed tonight. His defense has improved with each game. He's playing out of position, but he makes good things happen just about all the time. Even his three fouls were all deliberate and smart. I wish he could handle the ball more, but I'm fairly certain putting him where they are is by design.
I prefer "Ayers gonna err"
