Great news for Porker fluffers. Now they have another Argie to blame every loss on.
The more I watch him, he reminds me of Landry Fields who was a solid role player for the Knicks before he went to the Raptors & his career ended.
Pato is going to put in work again tonight.
Rotation like 6th man/eventual starter ? Or rotation like he made the active roster?
Took a peek at the Argentine Crotia game. Not impressed. Seems to be unable to stick to his man. When he misses he misses really badly!
He has a long road to go before even making the Spurs team.
The are you watching? He has been a ing beast on D.
Garino's hustle on loose ball situations has been impressive. He's a pretty important piece to Argentina's team.
He's a poor man's Kawhi on that aspect. Great D, great hustle, rebounds, steals, out of nowhere blocks, loose balls gets. He's basically the only responsible for Argentina's defense being below average, on the last few years, to pretty good right now.
Niggz has those intangibles on da downstrole.
Pato put on his hard hat and went to work. A more worthier project than forbes, ljc, etc. Solid effort, good defense, plays smart and within a system. Keep it up pato. A great platform for patfo to evaluate him further. Pop has to be impressed so far.

How in the living was he un drafted? This guy is too good of a damn talent to go undrafted...
I suppose because he's older (23 for having just graduated college) and he played in a weak conference, for a run of the mill NCAA team with no hype whatsoever and no accolades other than defense. He didn't even start shooting the 3 until his senior season, and just to give you perspective Anderson was 22 this past season and could have been a college senior himself the entire season. (At age 20 he had already accomplished more in NCAA than Garino did at 23 and he did it in a tougher conference. Dijon at 19, while wildly inefficient also had produced more in college play in a tough conference, and was a kid.) It's all perspective. In comparison with guys his own age, Garino didn't stand out.
These are Garino college stats:

As you see they are solid but nothing spectacular, specially for a 23 yr old (competing against guys much younger in college).
This was him in Summer League:

The good news is that those teams he played for in SL were winning. But just compare that to some other drafted kids who are much younger already producing at a more impressive rate.
He's got roleplayer potential basically, a limited ceiling, but he's the kind of player that Spurs like to find and may fit into their system. Who knows? He may have gotten drafted in the second round but the Spurs didn't have a pick (the traded it for Ray Mac this past season).
He ing sucks
The Spurs might have done it again...
He is one of those guys that do all the little things that helps a team win, but is never noticed by the casual fan, because they are always looking for ppg. Pop is smart enough that this guy could be a difference maker in the right lineups. Mario Ellie was this type of player.
no lol there is room in between there. like a 9th-11th spot guy
This dude is ready to take fathead's spot.
Best thing about ST in the summer is how much Spurs assignees get hyped
Mario Elie, Jerome Kersey, Brent Barry, Bruce Bowen.
So many players that did stuff like this and never got recognition but were irreplaceable to try and win a championship.
Apparently theres about 5 guys who everyone thinks is a realistic shot for the 15th spot.Best thing about ST in the summer is how much Spurs assignees get hyped
USA Dream Team
Patty dropping 30 on talent. People thinking he needs Manu or any other ing player. Dude just needs a pick and thats it.
