Fathead can't even score in warmups, he didn't have the motor to go after rebounds against OKC, and he's slower than Tim Duncan.
All he has going for him is being 6'9, tbh..
You want the Spurs starting center next year to be Miles Plumlee.
Kyle is trash, and it's not that hard to take the homer glasses off and admit it.

Never said Kyle was good. Why do you make up?
pits funny to watch you use Kyle like I think he is good. You really don't have a clue.
and? Plumlee.
You made it kind of obvious when you said I was wrong with what I said about Fathead...
The update? The update is that they're all . If any of them were any good they'd be on the team already.
You like to read into things to be right. Assuming isn't a good thing for you.
You quoted a Fathead post saying this...
^ that means you disagree with what I said about that scrub
Kyle is trash, and so is Miles Plumlee.
That means Jimmer is more of a scrub. Again assuming...definitely not your forte.
and Plumlee isn't trash. But way to try and attack something that has nothing to do with this thread. You seem to be reaching for something. Your assumptions are really making you reach for victory! Internet hero!
his frame/build is similar to kd's. 6'10", can catch and shoot from 3...
Slower than Tim Duncan at 40.
You ain't lying
You guys have too high hopes for Bertans, just saying... He's not even anything special in Europe...
This is true. And to make it worse, he has been a prospect for five years. Even he's an example against stashing guys.
^ this girl knows what she's talking about
Anyone can look good if you YouTube HIGHlights. If he was any good, RC would've brought him in already.

I wonder if injuries is the reason it has taken this long? With that said I really hope they bring mulitinov over now to develop here. Developing over seas doesn't seem to be working at all anymore. Get the kids here to the NBDL or with the big squad practicing against NBA talent.
I think they played a huge part, and it would have sucked for Bertans to have had all those injuries and recovery seasons during his rookie contract. But who knows what would have happened with him had he been stateside anyway? But yes, they can't keep messing around with letting other teams develop their players. That really hasn't ever worked for them. They used to do it for money, but now that they don't have enough talent to avoid developing more, it's not worth the savings.
Fixed, bro
I just don't know what people see in him. He is good 3pt shooter, but that's almost it.. Never been a defensive force or great rebounder or anything like that, that would make you say he would be a needed addition to the Spurs. Maybe as Bonner replacement if he retires, but that's it. He'll be 24 this year. Playing 20 mins in Euroleague, with 8ppg... Nothing spectacular. Adding knee problems he's already had when he was skinnier... Meh.
The intrigue is his 3pt shooting if he can carry that over with a high clip percentage it is one thing sorely needed coming from the bench next season. He has question marks in other areas but shooting isn't one of them.
I think some are selling bertans a bit short. he is pretty athletic for his size and could be a very good defender from the weak side. Kind of like a kirilenko used to do. He runs the court very well. He also has good passing skills.Fixed, bro

As a guy that can come off the bench and score some points from the 3 or the 4 he can be very useful.

A Bonner replacement is what I see as well. A solid 15th guy/project, shouldn't get playing time unless it's a "rest" game. What the Spurs need right now is a completely different second unit. It just wasn't the same without Baynes, Belinelli, and Cojo. Boris is just collecting checks at this point and Manu is reaching the "T-Mac Hawks" stage.
And so what.
He was the 42nd pick in the draft, a little bonus from Indy in the George Hill- Kawhi Leonard trade.
Of the 18 players taken after him only 4 where in the NBA at the end of this past season (one barely) and only one has had a significant career.
The PATFO reputation is over rated. However, they do as well, probably better than any other FO in finding players. Be it draft picks are bringing in free agents. They miss more often than they hit. However, they keep trying. In 99 they got Manu, but does anyone remember Gordan Giricek? The Spurs took him 19 spots before.
Bertans provides a skillset our bench desperately needs, especially if manu retires and patty mills is shipped out.
He is a great shooter. He will get open looks and knock them down. He cant be a worse defender than bellinelli. Granted, its an apples to oranges comparison but the common trait between the two is shooting.
I love his shot mechanics. Nice form.
He comes off of screens in a rush alot and is nowhere near square to the rim when he jumps and always manages to get squared up in the air before the release. Hes a crafty shooter and thats definitely going to translate to the nba.
His defense is going to be the question mark. I think he can become serviceable and not a completely liability on that end, but i havent watched alot of footage to make a truly informed opinion.

I can't speak to the D-League, but I watched every available second of the Summer leagues over the last several seasons. The strengths that he had there disappeared against teams in the pre-season. I'm fine having them invite him for another camp, but he's just undersized for his skillset, and that's never going to change unless he's re-invented himself.
