SF

[KDKSpurs24]

NBA teams can invite up to 20 guys , I would love to see multiple small forwards, but whomever they bring in will likely NOT be a contributor regardless due to a learning curve and limited playing time. That said, there is a few scraps still floating around:


Bruno Caboclo

Small Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Sacramento Kings

Considered a bust but young, has the length we all want.

Trahson Burrell SF
Considerd a jack of all trades swiss knife
https://www.ridiculousupside.com/201...adl-nbadleague

JaKarr Sampson
Restricted free agent two way player.

Malcolm Miller
Another gleague small forward from the raptor.

I guess the raptors don't need them, they have one now.

I’d try Okaro White

[Truth4sale$]

Okaro White is not seen highly even by Cavs fan, but worth working out to see if the Spurs can do something with him. I have higher regards for the PATFO than anybody working in the CAVS front office for talent evaluation.

One other former raptor/Gleague is Alfonzo McKinnie
https://www.raptorshq.com/2018/4/11/...layoffs-skills
Seems to be a hustle energy player, athletic dunker type.

Again, whomever the Spurs bring in won't be a savior but it would be great to get a developmental type/young player as opposed to a old retread. Of course, the Spurs could just sign Jaron Blossomgame or Daurran Hillard and call it a day.

If Manu comes back Blossomgame would compliment Manu's deficiencies better. If he doesn't come back Hilliard would be a good Manu replacement on the roster with White taking on more minutes.

Adam Hanga....is all we need..

That bad, huh?

[Truth4sale$]

Adam Hanga....is all we need..

I would love to see Adam Hanga come over, we know he will provide the defense we need at the small forward/guard spot but I have a feeling he is done dealing with the Spurs since reading his comments about spurs negotiations.

John Huestis is a interesting prospect that I would like seeing but he has some offensive flaws that need serious correction. I think there was too much of a log jam at the small forward spot in OKC for him to break thru. Basically Jaron Blossomgame with more NBA experience. Worth a workout and young vet signing. I think the Spurs can make something out of him.

[cd021]

Hanga would be ideal but I think he's under contract for a couple more seasons, even if he has an NBA-out, last summer might've soured him on coming over.

Blossomgame will likely be a two-way contract player IMO.


Huestis can't shoot, and while he has a rep as a defensive player, he really hasn't played- only 1068 minutes in 76 games over three years.

Manu is fine as the backup 3 with Cunningham and Walker being in line, should Manu go down or he decides to retire

[cd021]

That bad, huh?

Spurs should wait until the buyout market, they should be fine at the 3- offensively at least. De'Marre Carrol would be perfect- all things considering, should he be brought out. Quietly had a good season last year; 37% on 5 3's per game and ranged high in DRPM for SFs

[mo7888]

When do we expect camp invitees to be made public?

[TimDunkem]

Hanga? That old is never coming over. Oh, and he sucks.

Move on, people.

[kobyz]

Justin Anderson if we can trade for him

[venitian navigator]

Huestis has the phisical tools to be a good player for us, and covers a role we lack actually (defensive wing, small forward)...He has big flaws but that are the ones we have been able to correct in most players we had thanks to our staff (shooting). He also looks a smart person looking at his interwiews. He's the kind of player that could still be considered a project to work on, on a multi years contract at a small price.

[cd021]

Justin Anderson if we can trade for him

I actually thought about him, he is a good athlete, cheap, has defensive skills-even if it hasn't exactly translated to the league. He just got traded recently so I doubt he shakes loose.

OkC invested 4 years in him, after 4 years of college and, he still can't shoot. Finding 3s who can defend isn't necessarily the issue, it's finding a 3 that can be at least a decent 3 point shooter too.

None of the currently available guys check those boxes.

At this point; Gay and Manu should be more than fine at the 3, both are good offensive players who can defend at a borderline average level. Their not going to shut down LeBron or KD but that probably wasn't going to be the case in any incarnation of this year's team.

I disagree. its right he didn't have made many improvements in shooting, but he never had a lot of playing time nor a staff known for fi shooting as our staff is.
On yhr opposite, when he played he has shown qualities that out team desperately needs...I mean being a young defensive stopper on the wings and on the post at the same time.
The only real and competent defensive players we have there are Cunningham (but mostly on bigs) and for very limited time Gino.
That's not a lot.
Imho we really need a perimeter stopper...considering we potentially have a lot of volume shooters (DDR and LMA, plus Beli from the bench) but no defensive weapon in that side.

Is Roberson a great shooter @ any distance?

[Fusternino]

Still sold on us getting Quincy Acy to be a 3/4 defender who can shoot the 3. Are he and Cunningham friends? I just think a DeMarre Carroll buyout is no guarantee.

[cd021]

Is Roberson a great shooter @ any distance?

Roberson is one of the worst shooting, shooting guards in the league but among the best defensively. Huestis isn't anywhere close to that level.

It's not like OKC has a poor player development staff and it's not like San Antonio has a long track record of teaching players how to shoot. Kawhi and Parker are the successes but Anderson, Cojo, Simmons, and Murrary never/have yet to come around as shooter's.

Spurs should probably be a top 10 defense, even without a traditional perimeter stopper (besides Murray) and top 10 offensively. That is a good recipe for 50 wins. Having a 1-D, defensively perimeter player is something that Limited impact on this team.

I agree, ~9th on both O and D is within reach. That's good enough for a top 5 seed in the West.

I think that is probably good enough for at least 4th and even 3rd depending on how OKC looks. I could see 55 wins, but that is probably towards the higher end of this teams RS ceiling.

[dbestpro]

Dangubic may be given a shot at SF.

[John B]

Dangubic may be given a shot at SF.

This guy has some serious hops and deep shooting. So what’s wrong with him??

[cool cat]

46% from 3pt is really good but the guy is 6’8 and weighs less then 200 pounds.
