Anderson's form look much quicker than before. I'd love to see him shooting like that. Always said he has to be a spot up shooter to be truly effective. Definitely looks bigger. He showed good burst a couple times, but net average is still slo mo. Good to be getting size. Can't be small and slow. He could be good if he takes his role serious. He can't realistically have the ball 90% of the time. He's still young. Honestly, if he had been a draft pick this year and show that performance, people would be showing him much more love. He has always been a project/prospect. People tend To forget that. I won't take away that he has looked absolutely horrendous at times, that's to be expected with a project though. You're finding out what works.

Simmons looks more sporadic than I would like. His confidence is definitely up though. In all honest for less than a million, he's a great bargain slasher to have on the end of the bench. Once more, perspective should be kept.

I honestly really like the awareness of the national le kid. Maybe people don't watch him off ball enough. Polar opposite of Parker, moves the ball at first opportunity like a pg should. Keep people in rhythm.

Forbes looks good. I read the article where pop told him to keep doing what he does best. Would love to have a confident young shooter coming up to replace mills eventually. Not a great ball handler, seems better than mills though in that regard and he had zero turnovers. Could be an opportunity there. Spurs obviously saw something to offer a year contract.

Looking forward to seeing bertans, Murray, livio Milutov like everyone else.

There is room for negotiation, but not really. Players get the full 120 percent literally 99 percent of the time. The Spurs are pretty well known for not doing it, and that may be the case here. But Buford said it was a timing issue, which to me simply means that they are trying to use his hold rather than his real salary. That's standard and really shouldn't cause issues, but again, Paul is an asshole. He's not looking out for his player, seeing as the summer league is a League-sponsored activity and a team would absolutely be responsible if the player got injured.

What he's doing is creating an antagonistic relationship between the player and the team from jump street. That may make sense in some organizations, but the Spurs treat their players like family for the most part. Instead of coming off like the protective guardian he's supposed to be, Paul is coming off like a girlfriend who's always trying to get you to not hang out with people she disapproves of.

This was what I was wondering about. If I'd just been picked by an NBA team, I'd be participating in everything they'd allow me to do.

Savior?

[LakerHater]

JSimms looks to good to be out there in Summer League... unfair!

[TheGreatYacht]

Kirk giving up and ones lol

[BillMc]

Damn. I really want to watch Lorbek play

[Killakobe81]

Glad to see Kyle playing well ...I think he overrated by some on here and hated on way to much by others.

[Keepin' it real]

#27 is tall and can run like the wind. He's the magical "big who can guard the perimeter" that spurstalk is pining for.

[TheGoldStandard]

Simmons looks so blah..

[lilbthebasedgod]

Like Simmons' recovery on defense there.

[SPURt]

Not seeing much outside of Anderson. Gross.

[SAGirl]

Nice playmaking by Simmons in this game... He's most definitely looking to pass... just guys are not making their shots.

[raybies]

Anderson needs to play four

[SAGirl]

Not much from Cady yet.

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons looks so blah..

You're probably confusing him with the other Simmons lookalikes, he's playing well

[TheGoldStandard]

This summer league group is trash.. lol.. Lets fast forward to the Vegas team.. please hurry

[TheGreatYacht]

Really wanna see Kyle play next year without Manu. He might be like Joseph was, just not a good fit next to the washed Argie

[ceperez]

I think Simmons needs to sit, he's just manhandling these kids!

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons at 800k might be the best contract in the NBA for a role player

[jyra]

Anderson can't let Wood beat him off the dribble.

[raybies]

Wood looking good.

[Keepin' it real]

Cady poor start.

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons and Arci
