2016-17 Training Camp Thread

Lo hah fans that were claiming for the LMA 3 got it right. I guess it's a necessity. I doubt he'll shoot it in volume. It's probably like Tony.

Thanks for sharing.

I can see him attempting 3 a game.

Did you forget the blue font?

Kawhi, Patty, and Danny didn't even average 2 attempts a game last season...let alone 3.

I see all 3 of those guys at 4 3PA (Green at 4.4) on bball reference. (Guessing you looked at made vs attempted )

Either way, I think 1.5-2 would be reasonable for LMA overall, and I think it just depends on the flow of the game.

Similar to what Diaw did his first few years here

Ah...so I did. Reading is fundamental.

I sheepishly retract my incorrect assessment.

It's quite possible they eliminate the PnP long 2 from his arsenal. I don't know how that affects the long rebounds, the transition game, everything else. With Pau he may play away from the basket more. It's really hard to say for me. I felt like Pop wanted him closer to the basket last season, but a lot had to do with Tim's reduced efficiency scoring, they used Tim as a playmaker a lot.

But reducing the PnP long 2 into a 3 can't be a bad thing.

I actually prefer his Jumpshot to come from the baseline rather than the top of the key. Coming off a screen like a wing would be nice to incorporate.

Will there be a silver & black scrimmage at some point?

I don't think so they play in Phoenix next Monday.

Just bumping this in the thread for those who have not seen the schedule

[apalisoc_9]

Basically telling kawhi to demand the ball more!!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Basically telling kawhi to demand the ball more!!!!

Maybe, or maybe just overall communication. Like on defense and getting guys where they need to be

[Spur|n|Austin]

I hope Kawhi is also more vocal with the refs this season. Dude's like Dangerfield out there, can't get no respect!

Nice to hear that Aldridge will be taking more 3s. I wanted him to do that more last season, but he showed in only when the Spurs were desperate in the playoffs..

[Brazil]

IIRC LMA said he will take 3s with the Spurs last year too

I'll wait and see on dat one

Now yes I'm defending the idea since his start with Spurs that he should take 3s for the Spurs tbh

Gottamn....Sixers just can't catch a break.

For everybody around here who wants to piss and moan about "Porker" or "Fathead"....imagine the Spurs not being even remotely relevant in 16 years, being the laughing stock of the league for the past three, and with no dependable end in sight.

Frankly don't even want to joke about that. Injuries can derail a season just like that... really. specially injuries like this that just end the season for a player.
