Would be a nice fit ! Not sure about his defensive woes though.
He was pretty solid in his first two seasons. Looks like he had a really underwhelming season last year, though.
Again, seems the Spurs are intent on going the "Young guys with upside" route rather than chasing 35+ year-old veterans.
edit: err, scratch that. He's not "old", but he is 31. I just remember him entering the league a few years ago, so I assumed he was relatively young.

Stats from his first two season: 20 points per 36 minutes, 42% from 3, 52% on 2's, 17 PER, .133 WS/48
Guaranteed offer from the Spurs??!
Well, he's got a decent 3 point percentage.
31 the New young w upside
Wonder if David West recommended him in some way?
I guess he is fully healed from being stabbed?

Our offer has to be the minimum doesn't it?
He's not as young as some of you may think -- he's 31 already.
He had an underwhelming year last year and that's somewhat concerning -- considering last year was probably the biggest contract year of his professional career.
He was playing for the Pacers.... David West also had an underwelming year.
Can't remember, is he a 4 or a 3?
Spurs are obviously looking to add a shooter which is logical given their roster. McCallum, Simmons and Anderson aren't true shooters even if they can hit some 3's. We'll see who they will get.
Last year highlights:
He can play both. I'd have to imagine the Spurs would be playing him as a 3 though.
Don't know too much of him. If he can play 10-15 mins at SF I'm down for vet min.
Probably plays PF more though right? Anyone?
Meh. Came out of nowhere to have a really good rookie season with the Knicks two seasons ago. But the last two seasons with the Pacers he has been pretty damn bad -- especially last season.
He's 6-foot-8 so hypothetically he has good size for a SF but he's slow so he's actually easier to hide on defense as a PF. Either way, he's a poor defensive player. He hustles, plays with energy and has range on his shot but he was so bad last year that I struggle to advocate signing him even for a partially guaranteed minimum contract. The Pacers really needed him with all their injuries and he didn't produce at all.
When he's going good, Copeland can score buckets in a hurry. But it appears as if he's lost a step since his breakout rookie season so now he's basically a three-point specialist who is bad at defense that might not even be able to play SF for much longer -- especially if he loses another step after the stabbing (and/or aging).
meh? He supposedly already has a guaranteed offer!
According to Bkref, he's played 36% of his minutes at SF and 50% at PF. He's listed at 6'9", 235 pounds.
He's got decent size. Seem to be a pretty good 3 point shooter. Other than that, I wouldn't trust him dribbling the ball.
He spent a long time playing in Europe, so he knows the European game.
"Player X has a guaranteed offer from the Spurs" is a phrase agents have been leaking for years to drum up interest in their clients.
Saying you have a guaranteed offer is very different from saying that the Spurs are interested.
He could take that minimum offer from the Spurs and the Spurs would have 14 slots filled up.
So you better pray that he doesn't take the Spurs up on the offer!
HE get more playing time elsewhere
He sucks, tbh..players tend to get really overhyped when they have early success with the Knicks or Lakers..
Between the Spurs, Bucks and Clippers? I don't think he'll get playing time on any of them.
