Hostel is temporarily closed.
his last year in gleague he shot 39% on almost 6 3pts a game ... he shot very rarely in nba so maybe just maybe he doesnt super suck but probably
Hostel is temporarily closed.
hm so he's not in training camp and instead Blossomgame, Okaro White got deals.
Also, Nick Johnson.
Seems the coaches have changed their minds up a lot or Huestis got a deal somewhere else. I looked up twitter to see if there are any news about him but nothing. ... heh, he fell off the radar b4 we even saw the team scrimmage.
I like the "hunger games"... it's what makes preseason so interesting.
Seems like someone was already eliminated tho.
Maybe he changed his mind and decided to play overseas.
We'll have to find out what happened. There are 19 players in the roster of a max of 20. He may have been eliminated prior to the games starting or he may have decided he to bail for something else.
Hanlan also is missing. He may be in same situation as Brinmah and Washburn.
Were the bodies of Hanlan and Huestis ever found? Dudes just disappeared from the face of the Earth.
Still searching. We'll let you know when they turn up.
I think Blossomgame and Hanlan might have pulled a fast one and PATFO and forced their way into camp. That could be what has caused so much turmoil.
lol turmoil
Hanlan was waived Sunday.
Good guess. For Hanlan I thought he was just waived to allocate to the Gleague team. I have seen those early waivers and allocations in the past, but I never really understood the rules, it seemed a procedural matter. Spurs do lose rights to him after this waiver tho, so he might just have forced his way in and out.
Blossomgame might have pulled a Deshaun Thomas. Thomas at least stuck around all of training camp and was waived after all games were played in preseason. So Spurs had a good look at him. Blossom might be angling for the same opportunity and bets on himself he can stick around in the Spurs, and failing that, elsewhere.
He got a bonus for signing and now can be picked up by any team if he stays in the G-League this season.
He made it farther than Hanlan FWIW.Blossomgame might have pulled a Deshaun Thomas. Thomas at least stuck around all of training camp and was waived after all games were played in preseason.

I believe the roster stands at 19 so theoretically Huestis could still be added.
Thanks for that explanation. It's just so weird nothing was released about what happened to him. One of my guesses was that he took himself elsewhere.
It's as good a guess as any. The other guess is Hanlan had to be signed and waived to fit Huestis in now. The radio silence is a little puzzling, but not unusual this deep in the roster.
Hanlan can play, I hope he is comfortable playing in the Gleague 1 more year. It is a numbers game. Too many guards, with either more potential (Lonnie Walker) or more experience ( Mills, Bertonili)
If my choice is Heustis, Blossomgame or Pointdexter for the 15th spot. I prefer Blossomgame for his higher upside. He has some useful skills. But I am good with him getting a two way deal letting the veterans sit the 15th spot
Apparently the bonuses kick in after 60 days in the G-League after training camp, so those guys should be in Austin til at least the showcase barring some great deal elsewhere.
Premature ejaculation thread.
Blossomgame gets waived.
Pondexter doesn't look like an NBA player.
Looks like Spurs got Huestis to sign.
Rise of the Phoenix!
I just discovered... Huestis has a jones fracture (right foot).... he's injured!
kudos for Spurs signing him despite his injury.
What this means is that Huestis is likely going to play for the Spurs in the regular season. Either as a two-way contract or the 15th spot.
Why sign a guy who is injured?

What??? He has a Jones fracture? Nothing was released about his status and the S A media never inquired. He simply disappeared off the radar. Spurs signed him despite a Jones fracture? When is he expected to play? Sounds like a charity case...
The rumor was that he signed with a Chinese basketball team. But I doubt a Chinese team would sign an injured player.
This will explain why you might not see him play in the last two pre-season games. I'll be surprised that he has recovered from his injury.
Charity? No, I think they see the potential in this player. They waived Blossomgame, so it's likely Huestis is a much better player.
You are probably right that they liked him better in practices but a Jones fracture is serious. He may not play for many weeks if not months.
