You're an idiot.
i'm a work in progress.
Just remember, even in a small market, we have an embarassment of riches so vast, we get to argue about who would better fill the 13th, 14th, and 15th spots.
you have a great point, i agree.
...ps that's the exact reason why i argue for youth/potential over stats!
or argued, whatever!
Let's revive this. 13 bonner, 14 daye, 15 ayers. Lets imagine back before preseason. When I created this thread. That the spurs read it and magically made 13 j green 14 bertans and 15 ljc. Would Baynes, Anderson, and Beli be theoretically better or worse? Would the team have a better record?
Would the affect on the salary cap be large enough to even matter? Would the post season future look brighter?
I don't think it would have mattered. All 3 would be probably be DNPing or in Austin. Anderson may of had a bigger role considering he'd technically be the 12th man and Belinelli has missed 10 or so games due to injury and Leonard has missed at least 15 games. The Spurs wouldn't have 4 rookies on a team though, few teams would.
As for next season. I could see all 3 of them on the roster. LJC will likely come over because the Spurs would have to pay him over the rookie scale if he is stashed for a 3rd season. Bringing him over now gives us a 1st round talent, making less than $4 million over 4 seasons.
Bertans apparently has peeked the Spurs interest and it seems to be a matter of time be fore he joins. I heard they had a scout oversees to watch and coach him. With 9 FAs and the need for cheap roster spots to offset a potential high salary FA, he could be an option. I'd expect Green to get a Gary Neal deal (4 year, minimum deal) if they like his long term potential.
Would be interesting to see how they'd be used next season. Bertans is 6'10 and plays like a guard (he's been compared to Korver and Austin Daye) LJC and Green are both 4's but probably aren't going to be rotation players immediately behind Diaw. I'd expect the Spurs to go after someone like Enes Kantor. If and or when they get shot down by Milsap and Gasol. He has plenty of offensive talent and has potential to be a very nice player. He'd be the closes thing to lottery level talent the Spurs would have since Leonard. He could start alongside Splitter and have Diaw back him up.
would anderson be better or worse than he is now?
Is that statement about Jean-Charles? I wouldn't really put him that high. I think he could be an immediate rotation player if the Spurs don't strike big in FA, but I don't see him has having that high of a ceiling.
Did either one of these guys ever fully recover from the ACL tears? Haven't heard much about them since then.
What player do you think is most comparable to LJC?
Both have. Here's a vid of Bertans' highlights in this year's Euroleague.
I read that as a statement about Kanter.
And Bertans somehow reminds me of Reggie Miller (taller version and not that good of a shooter, obviously. But the motions...)
Bertans looks ready make the leap this summer. Would be disappointed if he doesn't.
Are their any recent videos of LJC?
Not on youtube.
Jean-Charles or Kanter?
Found an interview from last december.
And in this game highlights he has a dunk and two blocks...

I meant Kantor. 3rd overall pick 4 seasons ago and has been pretty good thus far but not great. I'm not very familiar with LJC. I've heard he has a pretty good jumper and is very long and a good athlete.
Hard to say, maybe slightly better.
