Report: Spurs sign Brandon Paul

[coachmac87]

Yeah, you should have talked about that instead of height, tbh.

If Paul has a "2 advantage in terms of wingspan and Thompson has a "2 in terms of height, it means they are about the same in standing reach, which means that this Paul guy presents decent size for a SG.

Didn't think I'd have to explain that tbh...that's common sense.

But fine if y'all wanna say he's the same size as Klay Thompson due to his wingspan y'all have at it

[horsielove]

that's a sweet looking jumpshot right there, tbh.

[NickiRasgo]

At least it's Paul.

[mo7888]

What's Klay's standing reach?

I think it was like like 8'7" or 7.5

[SpurPadre]

Hopefully, he turns out to be a better version of Gary Neal who can defend shoeless players.

I like this kids defense or willingness to play defense.....

[picnroll]

What's Klay's standing reach?

8' 7 1/2" same as Paul. Paul's a much better leaper.

[timtonymanu]

So why draft White when we keep picking up so many guards? Wtf RC

[sananspursfan21]

So this is what all those "Spurs interested in Paul" articles meant

If you are 6'4'' but have a longer standing reach is better than be 6'6'' and have a shorter standing reach. Everybody with an ounce of gray matter can figure that out, tbh. Aren't you supposed to be a coach?

8' 7 1/2" same as Paul. Paul's a much better leaper.

Paul's standing reach was only 8' 2" C'mon people...

[Chinook]

8' 7 1/2" same as Paul. Paul's a much better leaper.

8-7.5 is almost six inches greater than Paul's.

[mo7888]

If you are 6'4'' but have a 6'11'' standing reach is better than be 6'6'' and have a 6'10'' standing reach. Everybody with an ounce of gray matter can figure that out, tbh. Aren't you supposed to be a coach?

Thompson's standing reach is 5.5 inches more than Paul.

[DAF86]

Thompson's standing reach is 4.5 inches more than Paul.

I'm not talking about this case in particular since I don't know the standing reach of either guy, I'm just talking in general.

This is the Simmons replacement? Seems like a bad idea

[picnroll]

Yes got Paul's reach wrong. But Paul's vertical makes up the difference to an extent. But obviously that's one part of the picture and I don't expect Paul to be equal to Thompson.

Why? a) Simmons wasn't very good and b) PATFO have no problem finding those types of guys.

you're right but since thomson is taller that's logic.

[TheGreatYacht]

Says a lot about the shooting guards on this roster, since he was our best one.

Equal in size??? Cause that's what you were implying..

[Joseph Kony]

why is Klaynus being discussed in this thread?

What's so great about this guy. Physically, he's definitely a downgrade.

Why is he a downgrade physically? He's just as much of a leaper as Simmons is.
