7 assists tonight. Had a few passes to Danny that would have been added assists had Danny made the shots, 4 steals a block! 13 points, drew fouls when he was aggressive on mismatches.

The reason I think you are simply trolling is bc I disagreed with you on some things but not all. The areas I disagreed with you, you discarded to focus on the fact I agreed with you on some things as if I needed to be right on anything. He has holes in his game, but he's 22 and I feel he's not right now all he can be. You think he doesn't need to learn how to play at this level? That is tough to do when you have no set role, and you are still struggling in some areas of your game, which he is bc his game previously had him handling the basketball and assisting over 30% of his team's possession. In SL he didn't focus in assisting others so much as in his aggression. That team had no scoring threats except Simms and Eddie. They needed him to get his, now he's spotting up more.

If you want to discredit that bc you don't like him and focus on the fact it is his second season, as if he's done, that is kind of ignorant or simply troll/hate based. He barely played the last season in the NBA and he could have still been college.

That to me (along with you stating he's doing the same no matter what spot or line-up in the rotation he is) was kind of hate sentiment on you.

Again it's fine if you don't like him, and there are reasons not to like him if you don't, same as there are for many other Spurs players and you will not be convinced by this and that is fine.

Well once again, your post is filled with assumptions that weren't mentioned. didn't say anything about him being done, or not liking him. Your just making things up. You won't find that in any of my posts.

His responsibilities don't change. Some times on defense the pg gets posted up. Sometimes he does the posting. You rotated around the court, your responsibility didn't change. You're making up scenarios to believe he has these multiple huge defined roles he has to adapt to. He pretty much does the same thing every game from different spots. Whether he is emulating a pg or a stretch 4, his game doesn't change. He still plays like a pg out of any position. He still is required to shoot, create, and rebound. He either plays good or doesn't.

[SouthernFried]

When he's actually playing PG...he's pretty good.

That's his position. He's just not as effective when not in his natural position.

If the Spurs can't use him in that role, then they really shouldn't keep him. And I really don't see him taking away Tony's or Patty's minutes right now. Even tho he might have the potential to be better than both...at least in play making.

Not bad tonight. Played 36 minutes and put up some pretty decent numbers, taking good shots and making good passes. It'd be awesome if he could develop into a go-to scorer in the mismatch. Like how Diaw just overpowers smaller guys in the post and creates absolute havoc against certain lineups. He doesn't need to score big, just a nice efficient 8-10 points, with some boards, above average D and good passing. The perfect player for the 2nd unit or to mix in when you want length or to exploit mismatches.

Bonus if he can start stroking the 3ball at 35% or higher.

Do you know how many players in the entire NBA can do these things?

I'm surprised that he seems to be contributing a lot more than Boris Diaw.

He was playing point with Patty running around in offense as a SG. Patty has problems as point because he's not big enough to see or make passes.

And the pendulum keeps on swinging.

[Mr. Body]

I'm impressed. Always liked the pick,mouth now he's a year ahead of where I thought he'd be. Impressed at how he uses his positioning and length to bother perimeter players. I didn't know if he'd ever be effective on that end. On offense, his scoring will come around. The guy has a long productive career ahead of him. Not starter material, but who cares? A Shaun Livingston type with a slightly different skill set, all for the low low cost of a #30 draft pick.

[Spurtacular]

Pop disrespecting the Grizzlies, playing KA a team high 36 minutes.

[TrainOfThought5]

He's a first round pick with multiple position he can play, he's not asked to be a high usage player. So to come in and have no real role other than don't screw up, yes he's taking a long time.

So he has to learn multiple positions and distribute the ball at a high level AND enforce his will on the game at a Above average level after being in the d-league last year and the summer league + garbage time minutes this year against one of the best teams in the western conference? I see. Yeah this kids taking forever. cut him.

CROFLMAO, that Spurs fan base doesnt expect much, do they? LOL

I think he'll be a starter in this league, and will eventually flash lower tier star potential. basically Diaw 2.0-esque.

probably should watch SA more tbh

That we could realistically sign on the same value contract as KA? Not many. If you disagree, go to this link and find some players with a better upside than Slo-Mo, that we could realistically sign for a similar price contract.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...s/players.html

For the contract we have KA on, he's doing his bit. He's not stellar, he's not a future star - but right now he's playing beyond the level you'd expect from his contract AND he's still got a lot of room to develop. You get what you pay for and so far he's giving more than we're paying for. There's players on that list earning more than double his money for doing half of what he does.

[Atl Spur]

It's comical......... As I said before, once he is able to bring the intensity every night he will be beast no matter what position he plays. Intensity is the key for him....

[Raven]

I'm high on him

[Spurtacular]

Fathead picks up his 3rd foul in the 2nd Q and looks to the bench to see if he's gonna sit. No, Fathead; nobody gives a sh** if you foul out.

[GSH]

I'm high on him

Did you really just quote yourself and toast yourself? Really?

Make a couple of alts or something. You really don't understand how the whole attention thing is done, do you?

[SAGirl]

Still learning how to play in this league...
Nothing to see here. Move along....

[objective]

He passes up so many damn threes it's maddening. For a guy with a rep as a smart player he sure enjoys passing out of open threes into contested end-of-shot-clock low percentage looks.

[skulls138]

It is maddening. I give him alot of slack because hes trying to be a team player but thats just ridiculous. Good passes are made to get the open shooter and he doesnt take the shot.
