Who will have a bigger career with the silver & black?. Discuss and make your bets.
I bet for Simmons.
Anderson, primarily due to long term plans by the organization, higher ceiling, and youth.
Simmons: see above.
Marjanovic: Either mostly a bust and will be in San Antonio a couple of years, or legit NBA backup and will be offered too much money by another team for Spurs to keep long term.
on point !!! I agree ...
Anderson, not close. I could see him having a late Diaw kind of career. Very nifty with the ball and some how gets to his spot. Hopefully he an improve the 3 point shot and bulk up to be able to play 4 more effectively.
Simmons is good but there are a hundreds of players in the league just like him (athletic wing that can handle the ball a little). He seems to be a very good passer but he needs to improve his jump shot, esp. from 3.
Boban is either going to be good enough this year to get a big contract somewhere else or he'll stink.
I don't see Slomo being a Spur long term, something about his personality makes me think he won't go with the whole Spurs philosophy. That and the fact he constantly goes for the Wade foul move.
Anderson is probably wont get a second contract w/ the Spurs.
Spurs have to hit paydirt on one of those guys this season to win it all. They don't have to be stars, but they need at least one to be a contributor.
He'll be a restricted FA, but with the cap jumping so much, there will be no shortage of teams flying in to grab him if he plays well this year.
Still under Arenas protection. If he plays well enough, the Spurs will probably be able to keep him cheaply.
I don't think Boban will be anything more than a body for garbage time tbh.
Along these lines. If Anderson and Simmons play well, at least one will get decent minutes this year. If Boban plays more than cameos, something went very wrong with the team's rotation.
The Spurs are that venture capitalist that discovered a few unicorns early that other investors follow. They bet low, but give great opportunity to unknown prospects. Ginobili, Parker, Bowen, DG, Kawhi, and I'm sure others in not listing is real talent undervalued by others at the point of acquisition. Slomo looks like the safest bet because he has proven himself in all the more traditional channels. Simmons is showing real flashes, and if he contributes at a Wesley Matthews type level for 3 years, that's one of an ROI. Bobi is a total wild card and it's hard to tell. I think a better question is who contributes more next year, though overall team health will probably hold the largest impact. Conservatively, Anderson has to be the choice, but I like Simmons overall package and the fact his skill set, optimistically, offsets some of the value lost when Ginobili retires.
Are we talking about mr. 9 minutes mile, 98 pound anderson?
Boban should see playing time this season and will probably develop into a solid NBA starter down the road. His size will frustrate opponents and he will be a force out there.
You must be a finance person.
I think we should factor in expectations (draft pick given up, salary...) when discussing this. And given that Anderson is the likeliest to be a disappointment.
No one with any kind of numbers background would think there is any chance that the Spurs Simmons "contributes at a Wesley Mathews level for 3 years". Unless he means right this very moment.
If one of those three eventually turns into a starter quality player, I'd be thrilled.
Well Anderson will be here for 3 more years on his rookie deal so I expect he will be here longest. Simmons doesn't have the ceiling of Anderson but his role is easier to define so if one of the three is going to stick long term I think it's him. I don't expect anything from Marjanovic, he's just another body to throw at the big teams.
It will be Anderson, they need him to be a decent back up for Kawai and once Duncan and Manu leave he will be expected go step up even more.
Tbh, I have no idea what you are saying here. Are you saying there is no chance Simmons could be as good as Wesley Mathews ?
Yes, let alone for 3 years.
Wes Matthews is a generational talent.
Im not saying Simmons ever will or won't be as good as Wesley Mathews but that is just your projection and has nothing to do with ones background in numbers. Tbh
I don't know if this going to happen, maybe the guy can have some minutes from the bench for a few years. But honestly, i don't see THAT HIGH expectations for someone who is that slow and doesn't defend too much. I mean, some people here think he's the new Manu, that's too much expectations.
