Not gonna argue.
Yeah, he'll get 16-20 mpg, which is more than enough to help out there.Manu. He is getting up there and will receive reduce minutes and might even miss quite a few games.
Just as quick as Butler and a better overall defender than Williams. Started at SF when Kawhi was out last year and is definitely going to get the bulk of non-Leonard minutes there.KA. Not quick enough to guard quick SF and is more of a situational SF at this point.
This is just wrong. For his career, Danny has played about a third of minutes at SF (35%). Last year, he played 43 percent of his minutes there, including many starts over the last two years. Danny, like Kawhi, guards whoever he needs to, but that includes a LOT of SFs. He checked Durant for most of the 2014 WCF. And he puts up better defensive numbers at the three than he does the two.Green. Hardly ever plays the 3. He usually plays the 2 and sometimes the 1 position on defense.
For a fifth option, he's not that bad. If he can't hold down that spot, he'll be cut. There's no reason to keep him around if he can't do that much.Simmons. After his preseason play, he has shown he is not ready. Hasn't even played a minute in the NBA regular season.
Manu and Green have and will continue to check bigger players. Danny turned in an elite performance against Durant. There's certainly no way Pop's going to go, "Danny can't check this dude, but Reggie Williams can."So of those 5 players, Manu is 2, Green is a 2. KA is a 3/4 position player, who is too slow to guard the more athletic 3's in the league. Would you really want him to guard someone like James/Durant, etc. Guy had trouble guarding Rudy Gay.
They didn't struggle at SF at all. Green's numbers exploded when he played the three. Dude was a fantasy darling. The problem wasn't the SF spot; it was the overall talent drop from Green/Leonard to Green/Anderson or Beli/Green, not to mention how weak the bench was with the lineups altered.That makes Kawhi the only true SF on this team. Maybe you forgot how much the Spurs struggled at the 3 position when Kawhi was out last year, and Diaw, Green, Manu and KA were all on the roster and playing minutes at the position.
Yes, your assertion that Jimmer was not played because the Spurs didn't want him to get hurt was terrible, terrible logic.You say its flawed logic
Dude, the whole point is that Williams isn't a three anymore than Jimmer is. So you're assertion that Jimmer was cut because the Spurs wanted to go with more SF depth is weak, and the idea that Jimmer didn't even PLAY wasn't because Pop didn't like his performance is even weaker.
Touche'
