agree...I also think his defense alone makes him a 15th man with a big chance to improve his "number"...Maybe I'm way too optimistic, but I won't be surprised if, after the first games, he'll end up playing sometimes in the starting five.

Good post.
Huestis could be a very serviceable player...if he wasn't a terrible shooter. Tack on the fact that he is already 26 and played a lot of basketball, which is going to make fixing his shot that much more difficult.
That being said...the Spurs have the best shooting coach in the league. Chip has pulled off some miracle jobs before (Parker, Jefferson, Kawhi, etc.)
They don't need to turn Huestis into a 45% three-point shooter or anything. If they can improve his shot to where it at least has a chance of going in, I could see him being a useful piece.
I wish two of the three (Huestis,Okaro and Blossomgame) were in the team
There's a chance that all three will make it, one beating out Pon for the 15th spot, one getting the 16th spot, and the third being good enough to force PATFO to cut Eubanks from his two-way deal to get the 17th spot. As it is, two of the three isn't all that unlikely. I'll wait until I see word of Blossomgame's deal. But if they gave him a real deal (multiple years and some guaranteed money), then it's possible he beats out Pondexter and leaves Huestis/White for that last two-way spot.
The reason I think Okaro or Blossomgame don't make the 15th spot is that the Spurs staff don't have the bandwidth to coach yet another rookie. Pondexter (if healthy) or Huetis are the candidates more likely to provide experience in the bench and may be good practice bodies.
Blossomgame may be a good fit for the two way.
I don't think Okaro will accept a two-way.
I predict thought that Heustis makes #15, Blossomgame two-way. Verdict is still out if Pondexter is healthy. Okaro's is something I cringe when I see, he also doesn't have any bulk. Spurs already have Metu and Bertans who have no bulk, why add a third?
White a two way spot?
If you think about it, they also have stashed 1st rounders less (only LJC and Milutinov in the past 6 years) and haven’t received production from them so perhaps stashing guys they believe can play is going to be discontinued. You take in the first round someone who can help with a minimum development of one year with heavy d’league and could play that first season if there are injuries. Don’t take in the first round long shots to stash bc you don’t want to develop them and have to take someone who agrees to stashing...
Anyways, they have been bringing guys over. They promised Hanga to bring him over last year but then reneged on their offer for whatever reason (topic discussed at length at the time).
I think it’s a good trend that they aren’t stashing as much and if they do, seem to bring guys over within a reasonable period. If some guy isn’t going to cut it within a couple of years of development perhaps he’s not ever going to make it. I have no hopes for Dangubic whatsoever if I am honest.
If the Spurs stash less then Id expect them to be constantly (as in yearly) refreshing their candidates and letting guys free that don’t make it.
Personally I really don’t like the Hangas and Milutinov’s of the world... guys perennially stashed that one starts to think won’t ever make it over. I was exasperated when LJC was in the stash too. After a while he either makes it or he doesn’t (and he didn’t) but he got his opportunity and I prefer to see that. I also wanted Blossomgame to get his chance to make the team as well.

Apparently a potential 2 way spot with a contract that can be converted (but doesn’t have to) a 2 way. At least that’s how I understand it.
That high dribble though...
Bad habits are hard to break!
Now look at this guy's handles:
True... hm.
No huestis on training camp roster?anyone
Nick Johnson is in the training camp roster.
Maybe Chip gave up...
No Oliver Hanlan either.
Nick Johnson:
Nice pickup... was MVP of G-League championship. Could be the extra PG the team needs.

patfo probably read in the spurstalk that some people were hopeful with him, so decided to cut and include one more player below 6'3"
Is 260 heavy for LMA?
It looks like 260 was what he was reported as the last 2 training camps too. Maybe they're just lazy with changing that
Cheers. Thanks for looking that up bro.
got OP said media day was tomorrow.
