    Just heard over on Aztec Mesa board that Jamaal Franklin is working out with the Spurs. Any info would be appreciated.

    My favorite Aztec next to Kawhi.

    Never liked 6-5 thooting guards. Although this dude looks like he hits the boards pretty good. Summer League invite I hope.

    He did everything at SDSU except shoot the 3 pointer. His last year, they ran the offense through him, and his position was PF. If they think Simmons is gone, there aren't many better options for a cheap development project. He's almost 26, but unlike Simmons at that age, he has some NBA experience.

    If he has matured and improved his shot he'd be a guy to look at. Athletic and played out of position a lot in college because it was needed. His numbers looked good in the Chinese League, he's easily better than Jimmer...

    Franklin is 25 year-old SG (almost 26) that has spent the last 4 years in China. He's 6'5 191 lbs with a 6'11 wingspan and a ridiculous 8'7 1/2 inch standing reach. He led the China league in assists at almost 9 per. Was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2013 NBA draft out of San Diego State by the Grizzlies. College teammate of Kawhi's.

    Had a pair of 60-pt Triple-Doubles in China last season.

    Effing word. I make massive coin being an alcoholic. And then drink lots of medicinal tea everyday. No idea if that works.

    I really like the fact that he was Kawhi's teammate - assuming they got along.

    The Spurs took LJC because of a Tony Parker recommendation. I hope Kawhi is a better judge of talent. I don't know anything about him, TBH, but I do know that guys get protective of college teammates.

    Still, if the Spurs are going to find a sleeper, it means someone that nobody else is really high on.

    That's about the only 6-5 SG I could think was an exception. Other than that even historically ... nada. All specialists/ journeymen. Even Fat Lever came to mind... I thought he was 6-5 but was actually only 6-3.

    Not sure what you're getting at. Simmons is not some all-star. Love the guy and root for him... hope he becomes that good but really he is just a bench player. Good game every now and then.. like role players do. Right? Now if you're talking point guards like that then that's totally different. Like Murray.

    Manu is 6-6. Just watch any game and compare him to any 6-6 dude. He ain't that small.

    Just a random sampling
    Dwayne Wade 6' 3 3/4"
    Tony Allen 6' 3"
    James Harden 6' 5"
    JJ Red 6' 4
    Tyler Johnson 6' 4"
    Jamal Murray 6' 4"

    None of these guys have Franklin's wingspan. Height isn't what would keep him out of the league.
