Relax Pop was experimenting obviously in garbage minutes. Hopefully we can see the guy play meaningful minutes. Gonna reserve my judgement till then.
Maybe he worked on his shot. His release is still slow and his highlights are almost all back to the basket post scores. He doesn't seem to have the lateral quickness to guard the three IMO.
it's nice to get rid of Daye and take flyers on potential future prospects. But we now have 7 players to play PF/C and 4 players to play SG/SF. Cojo doesn't work in 2 PG lineups tbh, so unless Pop plans on playing Mills at SG a lot we have almost no insurance or minute eaters on the wing.
Obviously he's only on a 10 day so it's not a big deal. I just have serious doubts about his ability to be effective at the 3. Nothing that I've seen from him in Austin has suggested that he can be an effective wing on either end of the floor. If we have mostly a 3 big rotation in the playoffs, almost 1/3 of our roster is completely redundant.

Our backup 3 is our starting 2.
Seemed to work last season.
Yes it worked for a reliably healthy Kawhi last season. It would be convenient to have another backup three this season.
If Kawhi isn't healthy it won't matter.
True but we can still keep him and Green fresh heading into the playoffs with a dependable true backup 3.
They are at the age where that really doesn't matter yet. If you just want any shmoe out there wait for Marco to heal up.
I've seen enough of this scrub, package him with Beli, Ayers, and Bonner for an impact player and get Prince and AK-47 off waivers, maybe Daye too
For the minimum, why not? Add in CoScrub too
Age isn't the factor, it's best ensuring Kawhi' s hand stays stable and D. Green isn't overworked.
Monitoring minutes does nothing for the hand and Danny is playing 32 mpg so far.
I'd worry more about resting the older players at this point, especially Duncan. He's playing as much as Danny.
People giving up on Jamaychal Green after 6 minutes... hilarious.
Yah minutes dont matter much when you are at your physical prime (danny whi). Hopefully Beli comes back and becomes his old self so that we can rest Td and Manu and still win games like last year
Don't get me wrong -- if J Green doesn't work out I'd love to give a guy like Fuquan Edwin a go. But that wouldn't really make much of a difference either for this season.
Getting all the 1-13 guys healthy is what will make this season work more than anything.
When you're up 25 against a team shooting 30% with 8 minutes to go, having any hyper important piece (Green, Diaw, Slpitter, Kawhi) on the floor is just re ed. You should have minute eaters on the wing and not have to play 3 PFs and a C in garbage time.
We're 1 bad fall from like 6 players away from our season being over. You're contradicting yourself if you think that we don't need a minute eater at the wing but also that a Kawhi injury would end our season.
I'm all for dropping Daye for a SG/SF and dropping Ayres for green. But our current roster makeup is unique in the league and not in a good way.
I live in Austin. I've seen him play. Some of us watch summer league and Dleague games.
see you in April!
Why not?
It's garbage time. That's precisely the occasion for lineups like that.
Of course an injury could end the Spurs' season.
So what?
It's not like Kawhi's injuries have come from overuse.
not surprised, Daye is the far better player.
Splitter missed a training camp and Pop kept out almost all season
how long was JGreen in training camp?
Not really. That lineup was horse and got beaten badly by the equivalent Jazz lineup. That severely limits when you can actually play the victory cigar lineup. Up by 12 with 4 minutes left? Better play our most important players 4 more minutes.
if you want to tell me that playing the most important players ~100 extra minutes each this season doesn't increase their chances of injury then
It was bizarre watching Cory and 4 PFs playing out the string against Utah. One ballhandler generally doesn't work for this offense, and true to form, Utah cut about 10 points off our lead. Kyle should have been in the mix there.
