Start him while Green gets healthy.
I'm sold, keep this kid. If he goes to Austin he will be on another squad in hours.
I can't believe that the Spurs have no room for this kind of talent.
Spurs keeping him tbqh, I havent watches him play yet.
Waiving LJC made sense with this kind of talent being available. Good move by the Spurs. To bad for LJC, but Spurs don't have room or patience to wait for him to be serviceable.
I like him. He looked ready... hope he keeps that shooting going...
This was you Nono.
Dat Nostradamus Lol (I could hear Brazil lol)
Nonostradamus can fail, tbh...This was you Nono.

Can he guard anyone?
Better than Manure, though that doesn't mean much
Not really. But he says he's watching how Mills does it and he'll do about the same. Which isn't really a high bar!
Spurs have at least 4 players (Parker, Mills, Laprovittola and Forbes) who can't guard anyone.
Add Manu and David Lee
Happy 16th birthday!!
Really like this guy, but he could become a defensive liability. I am sure his shooting will keep him in games, but will be interested to see how he much time he gets.
I think the guy is quick enough and otherwise has the tools to become an adequate defender. Beyond those requisites, playing D is really about commitment and effort. If he mimics Mills, perhaps he can pick up those parts. Mills does provide commitment and effort, whatever his other shortcomings...
27 points by the mid 3rd quarter. Not bad for an undrafted scrub!
Must be a little hard for Patty watching his replacement. Then again, Patty is gonna get paid this summer so maybe not.
Forbes has these outbursts a lot in the D League. He's actually, at least at that level a more varied scorer than Mills. But I don't know how much of that will translate at the NBA level. I'm sure Mills would show a lot more against d league too.
Great to see him play/shoot so well. Mills really has been off since GS outside of a few moments. But hopefully this is a spring board for Forbes.
I honestly am not sold on this giving him confidence... He is naturally gun shy...compare him to Bertrans who rarely ever turns down open shots...and patty...those guys you don't have to worry about
Also, obviously it's hindsight but this was a perfect storm for Forbes. He's played with Kyle & Bertans a healthy amount. He was not with any high usuage players and Mavs aren't a good team overall. You can tell he was mad at himself for playing differently with the big club (Pop having to tell him to shoot) and he played comfortable last night.
He's not that way normally (at least not in the D League).
Still Gun Shy...
But last night was encourging.
