    Ya buddy. He's a very solid athlete. He's not DeAndre Jordan, but he's a very good athlete capable of put back dunks, lob dunks and finishing close to the rim with dunks. He can block shots.

    I'm really not trying to build him up like some all-star, he's not. He has many limitations especially offensively. It's just a good skill set the Spurs needed.
    Nice, thanks. At first, I was worried he'd be like Ayres but he looks to have decent hands for a big man and a good motor.

    Nice, a defensive, rolling big man.

    Now, does LaMarcus have a backup?
    Is it going to be Kyle?

    So we get Denmon and Gasol but lose timmay and Boban? We have to keep Boban in some way. He's awesome and has huge interest in the fan base
    Keep Boban!!!!
    we will see if it pays off especially if letting boban go was a mistake and if dedmon is half the player boban is tbh

    I like that his shot blocking presence allows our guards to be more agressive defensively on the perimeter, like OKC guards had with Ibaka and Clips with Jordan. Being able to more confidently go over rather than under a screen could pay dividends to their three point defense

    That is not what you said at all. You very clearly asked why anyone would choose SA over GS . You said he would get to showcase himself in GS much more than SA.

    You did say essentially that SA wouldn't be a bad choice either, but you were pretty clear in your distinction about choosing GS over SA.

    It's all good and damn you for bringing out the old argumentative DPG . I'm just thrilled that SA got him.
    I asked why would Dedmon choose Spurs over GSW. I said both would showcase his talents but GSW would be better. I still think GSW is better to showcase his talents. The money difference is significant though. If I were him I would that would be a deciding factor give they will both showcase my talents. You're acting like I positioned the Spurs as some third rate Kings like team compared to GSW.

    Dedmon is definitely the kind of the athletic hustle big Spurs have been missing since Baynes left and he is a legit 7'0 as well
    With good athleticism and a 7'4"wingspan.

    That will be the interesting part. Not just the youth but new to the team. Pau is older, but still new. It takes time to learn the system.
    Pau, I don't think he will have a big problem. His veteran savvy and natural bball IQ is so high, like Manu, that he should assimilate quickly and Pop is going to give him plenty of minutes to do so.
    The other guys? Yeah. Agree.

    I believe we're going to see a lot of backup minutes go to Anderson as a calming influence to the noobs.

    So Dedmon is the only ring protector? Pau and Aldridge are typically flat footed when defending the post!

    Not true - Pau, while not nimble on the perimeter is a very solid post/rim protector. LMA is not bad either.

    In favor of whom?
    Don't know tbh. But I can't remember the last time the pop fully utilized a long athletic big man like him. Pop usually avoided these types of players. But I really hope I'm wrong .

    Protect the ring, he will. But first acquire it, he must.

    Like the signing, don't like the idea that his guy is currently our third big out of three.

    I guess we will need another PF to replace LA. Are we still in conversation to get Thomas Robinson?

    Nice pickup, especially for the room exception. When the Rockets turned to Nene yesterday, I thought he'd end up with the Warriors (they'll probably turn to Reed now). Nice to see someone spurn those arrogant pricks.

    In terms of players who were around for more than a cup of coffee, he joins Simmons as probably the most athletic Spurs since prime Robinson.

    It'll interesting to see Ginobili in the pick-and-roll with him, though the potential lack of shooting (depending on who the forward opposite Anderson is) surrounding it could cramp it some.

    Definitely, but I doubt it would be Robinson or anyone of his ilk, since he's essentially a center on offense. They need more of a floor spacer.

    I wouldn't worry, I see Bertans as the new Hill-Splitter-Boban
    Just by sheer size, I think Dedmon gets minutes. But the point you are seemingly making is interesting. There are so many new guys, young guys that Pop has a lot to figure out and there is going to be experimenting.
