    Bertans was a hype job from the beginning, he's shown nothing that Austin Daye couldn't do. He'll have a microwave game once every 3 months but he won't do much else. Didn't get the love fest posters here had for him when he was putting up pedestrian numbers against plumbers and farmers. Not to mention he was in the ER from 2012-2014
    Bertans is fool's gold. He can get his shot off any time he wants. He just goes 2-8 every time.

    Remember when posters jumped all over Choo Choo's nuts when he signed with the Spurs? Good times.

    We know that he can rebound well... you know... kind of like a Dennis Rodman player. Lots of athleticism but no skills.

    If Murray had just a fraction of the skills of Forbes, he'll be devastating!
    Honestly Pistons Rodman was a darn fine offensive player.it wasn't a skills problem in Chicago but a lack of opportunity and ball, given the choice between Pipen, Jordan or Rodman who do you think is the most likely to get the ball on offense? He just got slotted into rebound guy over rounded player to a certain extent.

    I said in between the draft and the start of free agency to include Bertans and/or Murray in any trade if you can get a good/great player back. People here didn't want to include either in any trade package. I thought that was re ed, as I didn't think either player is anywhere near untouchable.

    Anytime the Spurs get a remotely good asset (apart from George Hill), the fans here end up overrating those players, and I think even the front office does too, which is evident by them not willing to take a risk in any bold trades. They ed up if they turned down any trades for a good player because they didn't want to part with either of these two players.

    Who exactly do you suggest we trade our good assets for?? Bertans an Forbes that is, Murray's trashy ass!

    Watched his defense closely in yesterday's game. He tries hard, I'll give him that. But he gets left behind so often that when his man scores it looks like so other Spur should have been guarding him. And the guy who rotates to cover his man often picks up a foul.

    I don't know if a shooting specialist is gonna make the new era Spurs.

    I'm waiting to see what he can do against regular NBA compe ion this year, assuming he doesn't get traded and makes it out of training camp.

    Yet somehow he managed to shoot 40% at the NBA level his rookie year. ��

    So you guys think he's still a fringe NBA player and it's still uncertain that this will translate at the NBA level?

    I think he's played magnificent this Summer League. I didn't expect him to up his game like this at all. It seems he's made so much progress on the offensive side of the ball in just a short period of time.

    Admittedly, I thought of him as a Gary Neal type but I have been very impressed with his handles (in highlights at least). His drives looks solid and he looks like he can get his shot against bigger players from behind the arc. I remember last year people were talking about how well he played off ball and took advantage when his man turned their head and ball watched.

    I am much more optimistic about him now.

    kyle anderson is a first ballot summer league hall of famer and he's barely a rotation guy

    i think summer league is more for weeding out the players who suck rather than pointing out who's great

    But he's Austin Daye, a player who shot 35% from 3 for his career and only shot 40% from 3 twice in nine seasons

    Damn good isn't elite...he doesn't have the ball on a string like the elites do...an elite ball handler has the ability to shake someone 1on 1...parker only relies on his speed...he has never had a great crossover...not dribbling the ball off your feet doesn't mean you have elite ball handling skills...saying parker has elite ball handling is like saying Shaq is an elite dunker...I'm not gonna get any support because im going against the hive mind, but only spurs fans would consider parker to have ELITE ballhandling
    Parker having elite handling skills was my laugh of the day.

    Spurfan can be so silly. Someone mentioned TO rate. Hard to have a high TO rate when all you did was hand the ball off to Duncan and Manu your entire career tbh.

    But why are people forgetting that Kyle couldn't shoot? He won Summer League MVP with getting to the rim and scoring or getting fouled. Bryn on the other hand is displaying skills that at least translate. His specialty is shooting so that translates. He moves well off ball and now has shown an ability to use his handles go by defenders and finish or draw fouls. Even if this is Summer League, I still see skills that have a better chance for success than what Kyle displayed. People don't seem like they are using their eye test but are rather using their mind to only think "this is just Summer League". Which is true but I'd rather the Spurs give him a chance. We could use the shooting.

    Kyle shot like 50 percent from three in the Summer League. It was everything else in his game that translated. Dude's problem isn't that he CAN'T score; it's that he DOESN'T score.
