First game he hasn't looked like garbage.
Forbes, despite that miss, has shown considerable improvement tbh.
First game he hasn't looked like garbage.
Summer league can make players look worse than they are, but Murray is killing himself here.
He does good things like rebound and has the ability to play well and then he goes off the pasture and that just shouldn't happen keeps happening.
His dribbling is disgusting and the fact that he hasn't worked on shortening and cleaning it up is either a direct indictment on him, or on the coaching staff who absolutely should have been harping on it from Day 0.
I like the kid and he has things to his game that makes you want him to succeed, because if he does, he could succeed greatly with his natural gifts, but dammit, he still plays like a high school kid on the concrete.
He could probably be a star on the And1 thing, although I don't know if that even exists anymore. I stopped watching after Jason Williams.
That patty signing looking really good.......
I was going to point his out but I am going to piggyback on your post if you don't mind.
That is exactly what I saw, no communication on defense, and was giving away straight line drives a couple of times in a row to close out that game. Then offensively he couldn't convert his opportunities.
I'd say he needs more dleague. He's still the youngest dude in that team and him having the one season in the Spurs wouldn't necessarily mean he's ahead in terms of development. He is still very raw.
That's true but I don't think many of us wanted Forbes a part of the Spurs long term plans. Would've much preferred to see Murray, Bertrans, White, or Blossomgame carrying the team.
Got terrible hands. Has a lot of trouble finishing in the paint.
The sad thing is that he's getting a lot more minutes than Lallane. That is not a good sign for Cady.
so i left at the end of the second half cause we were up 10 and figured it would be a blowout. Wth did I miss?
As discouraged as I am by Dijon's play, I am that much encouraged by Forbes' play. He is showing steady development.
Overall, though, this summer league team hasn't gotten me excited, and nobody except Forbes has really been very encouraging.
He just has special genetic gifts but he's still as they say a couple of years away. Got to keep pounding that rock. he doesn't have an offensive game that is reliable right now. The floater makes me cringe. I hope he continues to put the work in the summer... but I wouldn't assume he's going to be given anything. Going to have to earn it.
You don't pick the guy who is good on paper. You pick the guy who plays solid and is making improvement. Murray sucked. Bertans couldn't hit many open shots. You can't expect White or Blossomgame to shine, they are deferring to these 3 other players.
Honestly, White is a much better PG than Murray. He's got better vision, better handles and better passing.
Dijon sucking pretty much.
They don't have any question marks. They don't have a PG.
No 29 pick from last year. I don't think we got a steal. The Bucks got a steal by picking up Brogdon at #36. Spurs gambled and lost big time.
so would you say he like blew the game?
If I was Pop, I would inform all the players on the court with Dejounte to slap him on the back of his head as hard as they can, every time he goes for that garbage floater.
Then call him to the bench so he can be proper slapped in the face like in RockNRolla.
I was hoping either Jefferson or Lalanne might prove to be a gem, but I don't get the sense that either one would blow me away, even if they did get more minutes. But playing Whittington that much is an indictment of the Cady and Cory.
Is he even a basketball player or just some guy who thinks he's an elite basketball player.
He can't shoot, can't dribble and can't pass. What the ?
There are plenty of bigs elsewhere. Heck, that Auguste guy was better than all our bigs.
I got to watch the second half but we just need to chill on the Dijon front. He hasn't had that much time to improve since the end of the season. He hasn't went to work out yet with Kawhi etc. Summer league is only a few weeks after the season so anyone expecting major upgrades might be disappointed. We seen him playing off the starters and he did much better. They are just developing his decision making skills, which at this point need a lot of work. But he should be fine with lesser responsibility, with better players so he can play off them. He showed he could do that in the Playoffs. He's still really young. He'll most likely be in Summer League next year too. I didn't see the second half be in the first he appeared to play under control and made some nice plays. I must admit though he did Westbrook some rebounds though so I wouldn't look too much in those numbers. My biggest gripe is that he needs to value the ball but then again we seen Simmons have turnover-fests last year or the year before too when they were developing him as a playmaker. This is the time he needs to make these mistakes...
He's all instincts and talent and that ain't gonna cut it, in the Big Leagues. He absolutely has to instill discipline into his game.
I'm wondering if Pop and Co are fostering him being him, or is he not working on his flaws, like he should be?
I'm glad Pop and RC were at the game to see 1st hand what this kid is doing right now.
A big collection of works-in-progress combo guards is what it looks like to me. I am scaring myself with the thought that Forbes may be earning quite a few minutes at the expense of Dijon (and White).
I got no problems having him spend his time in G-league learning how to protect the ball.
Should've just drafted Brogdon. Smfh
Remember when this nig was untouchable? Good times.
