"It is obvious that he is not that comfortable shooting it"
It's obvious that the Pop's plan is, when there is a scrum in/near the paint, for TP to drift to the corner for the kick-out 3G.
TP shooting 61% 3G is OBVIOUSLY UNCOMFORTABLE!
Nah, I mean he's always been really good driving to the basket and finishing... the main complaint about him has been his poor playmaking, court vision, over dribbling, etc.. he's been a solid heroballer, but the Spurs normally also need a good passer and pick & roll player from that position... he's young though, he can only get better... last night for example he had a great pass to TD out of a P&R... it was a rarity, but hopefully becomes a trend...
Oh simmer down, B-D. I know TP's offensive percentages inside and out. My point is: watch the man take threes. He may MAKE them at a higher rate this year than any year in his history, but he is studied about it...you can watch him kind of gather himself, set himself, and then pointedly think about what it is going to take to make the shot."It is obvious that he is not that comfortable shooting it"

The best hope I had for the development of his three pointer was the one time this season that he came down the court with time running out and took and MADE a running three pointer from well behind the line. That would NEVER have happened in the past.
Ability and comfort are two different things. He is not yet comfortable with his three point shooting, but he is getting better and it may develop into something consistent. I hope so.
I remember this also. I think it was after the Clippers game though, one of the more recent ones. They said Cory has been really working on his finishing because layups in the NBA are not easy, and he accepted the coaches basically re-teaching him how to use the rim and make layups around post defenders.
Joseph needs to improve his 3 point shot. Too often he is wide open but hesitates and opts to drive in to traffic.
I like his hustle on defence and at 6'3" with a nearly 6'6" wingspan he has the size and length to defend most point guards. You don't get many bigger point guards and if we need a bigger defender we should opt for Green or Kawhi.
I think we should be exploring trades, but I doubt there's much market for one considering the depth of the position league-wide. We should look for a team with a few decent overseas assets for a trade. I'd offer Joseph to the Bucks for Inglis.
Glad someone else heard it, unfortunately I don't recall everything they said. Cory was not finishing this good in previous seasons, no way. He's really improved this season, a lot, IMO. I disagree with ElNono about his driving and finishing, the rest of what ElNono said though, he's right about.
I have to look into the numbers, but it seems like his defense has fallen off a cliff this year, tbh..
Uhh that's generally expected considering he's guarding an All-Star caliber point guard every game
so he was only considered a "standout defender" because he was guarding opposing scrubs?
This little has grown on me. Played through an illness too. Glad he didn't take the the typical Enrique route of playing like in the first half and sitting the second when he's feeling sick. Glad not every PG on the team is a pussy.
CoJo is a tough dude. I liked him since he was a Longhorn but really appreciate how fearless he is, which I still think that dunk on Ibaka was a pivotal moment. His skills are catching up to his confidence. Glad to have him and MVPatty to offset Enrique.This little has grown on me. Played through an illness too.

Spurs need to feel out his trade value before he walks for nothing. Maybe Denver bites for Wilson Chandler? They need a real backup PG going forward and they probably don't want to pay Chandler again. Spurs need another true combo forward with the questions surrounding Kiwi. Chandler's final year is only 2 million guaranteed too, so if doesn't work out the Spurs can let him walk.

Get some good trade bait for him.
Yup one point guard's health is questionable so the best idea is to trade the young up and coming point.
Great ideas.
Well if Parker doesn't make it back it's not doable, obviously. He'll walk for nothing in the offseason though. Spurs already paid Patty to be the backup PG and they need another combo forward if they are going to even think about competing in the playoffs. A trade for Chandler works for both teams.
Interesting. I really don't want to trade Cory, but a combo forward like Chandler is interesting and something that should definitely be considered. How is he playing this season? Have you watched any of their games? How is his defense?

Isn't that literally what got us Kawhi, lol?
I really like Wilson Chandler, he's Denvers glue guy, but I don't see why Denver does this with Lawson tied up for a couple more years. If CoJo had a year on his deal like Hill did then maybe, but they won't want to pay him this summer since they're already looking at $80m for a lottery team.
If we could get a first rounder for CoJo I'm trading him before the deadline. Otherwise keep him til the summer and let him test the market, maybe we bring him back cheap and he is a tradeable piece going forwards.
Never listen to TPark's takes. Needs to be posted for posterity:
LOL.
I have no idea why TPark randomly turns up and starts posting after being away for long stretches.
Lol you trade Mills before Cory. Seriously, WTF is wrong with people?
George Hill wasn't a point guard.
Neither is Patty and Cory wasn't much of one until recently showing some signs. What's you're point. It doesn't stop the Spurs from listing them as PGs.
I think if the Spurs had to trade one, I think they'd trade Cory first. Interesting topic though. Cory's getting better and better.
But, he wasn't a point guard and couldn't run the offense. He was also the only tradeable asset at the time. I'm not sure what your point is about Patty or Cory. The Spurs aren't trading either.
I love me some MVPatty but if Joseph ever develops even a decent three-point shot he'll be the better player. He'd be a decent starting PG 2-3 years from now with the way Enrique is declining.
