The Loaded Magazine of Bryn Forbes

[tonight...you]

Forbes is a player with no chance in this league ten years ago. A guy his size? No way. But in the current NBA he has a legitimate chance to be an effective player.

Yeah, and it's tough for NBA coaches to get with.
This is the new times and coaches have been doing their for so long, it's tough to move as fast as the overall talent-shift and where it's going.

Here we go baby...

Let's not act like Mills is irreplaceable, tbh. All he does is shoot

[TimDunkem]

No . Patty was a bench warmer before the Spurs picked him up and made him lose weight. Guys like him come in and out of the league all the time. Hardly irreplaceable.

Forbes is 6'3, same size as Curry, bigger than Patty Mills, AI, Jason "White Chocolate" Williams, Starbury, Piston's Isiah Thomas, same size as Steve Francis and one inch shorter than Gary Payton or Gilbert Arenas. It might be that Forbes lack of defense causes people to assume he is undersized.

Forbes has been playing point guard in Vegas. His handles, penetration, and ability to get to the line have allowed him to dominate scrubs. Whether that translates to the regular season i don't think will be predicated on his size.

This guy does look like Patty. He has a redundant skillset if he proves he can perform at the NBA level but if he can then Patty is just a moveable asset.

The way people here change their expectations on the fly is astonishing, tbh

On Monday, only the playoff shooting %s matter..the next day, the longer RS sample size is the only indicator of shooting ability..Wednesday, it's only the series vs. the Warriors that has any relevance..now it's shooting in ing Summer League

Against NBA players tbh...Forbes might carve out a similar niche eventually, but lets not get carried away.

If he had something else..... good size, better athlete, decent defense, great vision.... then I'd be stoked. He seems a really good shooter... what is his next best skill that could translate to the NBA?

Could he be our starting pg????

I wish Murray could shoot like this kid.

If he could, he wouldn't be a Spur. Would've gone Top 10.

You highly overrate him, and the only player he compares with athletically and size-and-strength wise is Curry. He's not as quick as Mills.

Probably so. Patty Mills "6'0"," Bryn Forbes "6'3"," Steph Curry "6'3"."

TBH. Brynn can't do this against NBA level compe ion, but hey lets get excited because he put up a bunch of points against scrubs in summer leageu.

[steeledl]

If he could, he wouldn't be a Spur. Would've gone Top 10.

I wish Murray had learn to shoot like this from his draft day until now?

[MaNu4Tres]

To be fair, Forbes has made significant improvements in his overall game. Hes scoring in other ways than just shooting. That wasnt there last year. Its encouraging to see even in Summer League tbh.

Yeah, he's improved across the board. He's not just a spot up shooter.

While the Dubs were obviously not keying on Dijon, with Tony and Kawhi gone, he was playing more than garbage minutes. Bottom line is they were still the Dubs while SL opponents are still the scrubs.

He still shot very inefficiently and still had many bad shots... but he did connect on some well challenged layups and more impressive to me came up with loose balls, steals on deflected balls and made some defensive plays, which the other guards were incapable of. My hope was more based on his hunger and compe ion than him actually shooting well. Ppl continue to discredit what guys achieved there. Steals and rebounds were still steals and rebounds and those were still the playoffs and the dubs were still the dubs. I tended to attribute some bad choices to the fact bc he was coming back from injury he didn't necessarily have rhythm... He may yet get it together but not based on what he's shown here. He has to work harder. Hopefully he's been made hungrier.

Nah it don't matter if you are slowmo. I don't think he would have outlived getting benched in the summer league Dijon Murray style. At least 10 troll treads every day of summer league would be created. That is predictable...

3 pt shooting is so important nowadays that what can you say about Davis Bertans for example? Yeah he's taller but he can't grab a rebound for , he competes but he's a lightweight. He can Maybe be a secondary playmaker but so far has more TO than asissts. He's ok but Bryn can generate his own offense Bertans can't. However he's a very dangerous sniper... that makes up for a ton of other mediocrity...
