Thanks for the scouting report Apo!
Just on defense alone I think he has a good chance. But one could see why he went undrafted.
According to scouts before the olympics started, Garino was good at shooting, very good on defense and a really good rebounder. According to scouts, he had a decent all around game and can make straight drives to the basket. He also had projected weaknesses..like his speed, inability to make plays for others, and he isnt elite at anything.
After watching him play 6 games, here is how he fared against mostly NBA level players and some elite euros.
Offense+
- He can really set good offball screens. A sign of good character...alot of that has to do with his length and somewhat wider frame for an SF.
- He seems to be confident with his Three point shooting ability and so he doesnt hesitate when he's wide open. That's a must for any player wanting to make it to the NBA
- He's unselfish and will make the extra pass if need be.
Offense-
- His cofidence in the three point shot varries depending on where he is. He doesn't like to shoot at the top. Which is concerning but I imagine most of his opportunities will be in the corner. No midrange game. No PNr game
- He was advertised as a do all kind of guy, but his dribbling skill is way too poor to be reliable...when he tries, he makes bad decisions.
- He doesnt do anything at all offensively, to be honest.
Defense+
- Very capable one on one defender. He's lenght allows him to bother most shots
- Amazing off ball defender. Very focused and communicates.
- Did not have trouble with bigger PFs and held his ground agaibst Guards.
Defense -
- Surprisngly, not a whole lot of negative. He's a great defender.
Rebounding
- I honestly thought he was pretty darn average. Missed a few fundamental box outs too.

Austin Spurs or back overseas.
Versus Forbes and Arci?
I think all three are waived just before the last cuts. Forbes & Arcidiacono will be in Austin.
I think he makes the cut. Spurs do like that 15th spot open though.
Forbes won't make the team, neither will Arci...They're all Austin Material..same thing with Garino. Murray is going to play for Austin for long stretches too.
I would play for Austin if I was Garino. He only really needs to improve his three ball. If he becomes a good shooter, he's instantly NBA material since he has all the phyiscal tools to be an NBA player.
Hmm I disagree. I think they do keep someone. I think it was Chinook who mentioned elsewhere all 3 candidates have a niche and a specific role they could fill. It will come down to where Pop feel they need help the most. That's impossible to know right now but I do think they keep someone.
I can see one of the Austin guys playing for a couple of games, then back to austin...so that could be anyone of the three. I was hoping Garino would be better than Simmons since simmons is old and his game doesnt fit well when LA, Kawhi and Pau are all playing together...but we'll see.
Yeah this what I'm wondering. If he takes the 15th spot our roster is full isn't it?
I think so. But at this time, it actually looks like a complete roster tbh. Spurs shouldn't mind using up that last roster spot.
raw, can defend.
i question his decision making atm but he's young and undrafted so.
I could see it happening.
The best 15th spot player in the NBA.
Already better than fathead.
Better to be just 3 & D than just slow and high iq?
Having a big head doesn't mean you have a high IQ.Better to be just 3 & D than just slow and high iq?
I have seen zero plays that makes me think fathead has a High IQ. And I'm not talking about some garbage time RS ing game. I'm not directing that emperor. I just want to see if anyone disagrees.
Like Kawhi is high ing IQ player. Immensely. The ability to evolve/learn all his moves is a thing of beauty on offense. His awareness on defense.
Kawhi don't take it up like a little on a PG.
Also the refs letting Kawhi GET MUGGED on the head by Russ and nothing called.
I hope Kawhi becomes alitte more vocal this season. I'm hoping he has it in him even though he's been abit of a quiet leader thusfar but he's alpha AF with his two way game and just entering his prime which is scary enough. He's not near perfect yet, but WAY better than people thought he'd be coming out of college.
I think so too. You really can't tell a team with ing Tim ing Duncan and Pop, that you want the team to play like this way or something. Especially if it got you 1 ring already. If you're Kawhi, you have to be really ing patient. I think he has giving the Spurs enough patience. No Duncan and no winning these last 2 years and carrying some carcass s around, It's only natural for Kawhi to expand his leadership role.
The fact that you can almost copy and paste this to describe Harrison Barnes says something.
He sucks. I saw the game. Not NBA material.
