You can't teach fast any more than you can teach tall. He needs to hit the weight room, and settle in as a stretch-4. Anything else is a pipe dream. It's the damn NBA, and it's full of fast players - and they're always going to pick him apart as a point-forward. Diaw's passing and ball-handling skills were a big asset, but he wouldn't have had a career as a point-forward in the NBA. A guy nicknamed Slow-Mo can't be a primary ball handler at this level. Period. PATFO didn't do him any favors by pushing that experiment as long as they did.
Might have to give him another shot if Simmons' jump shot stays broken, tbh..
I don't want fathead in the playoffs. I don't even care if he could be useful in the RS.
I don't disagree, but it's looking like it may play out the same way as last season(Simmons takes Anderson's spot, starts strong, fizzles out, Anderson takes the spot back)..
They are like opposite players. Simmons' biggest advantage is his obvious athleticism, and his ability to break down defenses when he drives in. He definitely needs to start knocking down those 3's, I hope he spends most his time with Chip. Unless he starts getting out of control again, and/or Anderson plays like he did the other night much more consistently, I don't know if he'll lose the spot simply because his skills are very valuable for that 2nd unit
I don't think Simmons should lose his spot, but he will need to play differently and Pop needs to adjust schemes. He should not be spotting up at the top of the key never, ever, ever. He can't make that shot and they will dare him to shoot, and also help off of him. He needs to spot in the corner, which leaves him with a better chance for a corner 3 (an easier shot), a backdoor cut, he's speedy and athletic could be deadly, etc. The way he's played he's exposed. He just can't shoot period. It's not going to be fixed in one season, but he can be streaky. Just the spots he is spotted at and his lack of cutting is not good.
Anderson is going to have to continue to play well when he has chances, which are few and far between. I don't think he will take over anyone's role with good play, but it's good to have as an alternative when others are stinking things up.
In reality, Pop would need to also use others like Bertans for the same reason.
The Bertans thing is weird. We are still ~2 months into the season, so even though it feels like forever, by January/February Bertans could be getting consistent minutes. He's been a bit up and down, but his last few games warrant him to get some time IMO.
He's still very much evaluating different things, so things could be completely different in a month or 2 in terms of rotations.
Close enough
spurs aint paying simmons to shoot jumpers.
He should have played more last game. He was very impactful despite limited minutes and coming in when Pop apparently had given up on the game already.
Stat line 4/5 shooting for 8 points 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 steals in 13 minutes.
I hope it doesn't get lost on the coach...
This was him against the clippers last season.

Basically, PATFO needs to hit up the buyout market since BOTH Simmons/Fat Head are 3rd string wings.
Meeks/Casspi are looking like sure buyout candidates & Casspi is probably a better option since he can play the 4 while Meeks is looking like Neal in his last season w/ the Spurs as he can't seem to stay healthy.
Well, that was pretty lame against the Blazers, tbh... his saving grace is that Bertrans was probably worse.
He's going to need to be a lot better to make a potential playoff rotation...
His career:

that is hilarious

Is that hi-lights from the game?His career:
Burn this to the ground, and piss on the ashes.
Some of you guys have no heart.
That O-rebound in the third got us the lead, so he basically won us the game!
Still the third best Kyle in the league!
disappointing yesterday. He was still a big plus, confirming once again that he can be played even when his shot isn't falling. He's in a hard spot, hopefully he turns it around.
