    I seem to think he's probably more of an NBA player than Cunningham and Pondexter. Idk if he can defend wings on the NBA level but he in college/d league he was a physical defender who moved really well laterally, granted idk if that lateral movement would translate to NBA wings, I have a bad feeling it won't. But obviously Cunningham's doesn't either. He can play in the post and is a pretty smart player, he seems to know where to be and do the right things. If you consider him a 4 then yeah I'd say he has good handles. He's more fluid of an athlete than Cunningham. Idk if he has upside any better than just being a rotation player but I think it's safe to say he does have NBA rotation upside in the right situation. He's got good fundamentals, puts in the effort, really wants to win. Coaches speak very highly of him. Granted that doesn't mean his upside is really high, it just means he's probably a good guy to have on the team and might can give you some minutes.

    I think it's safe to say that Indiana had a lot of depth at the 3 and 4. With Bogdonavic/McDermott (finally getting buckets) at the 3 and Sabonis/Thaddeus Young/TJ Leaf at the 4 he was never going to get any minutes there. But he might be a rotation player on a solid team.
    I agree, he moves more fluidly than Cunningham and has much better handles.

    He doesn't have the requisite NBA bulk. Going to get pushed around just like Bertans.

    I guess you mean Anderson. Strangely enough the Spurs managed to turn him into a competent defensive player despite his lack of speed. The Spurs "system" may be grossly overhyped, but still, credit where credit is due.

    I know that, but since we're picking up G-League players, why not pick up the best at his position and one where Spurs have no choice but to play Dante Cunningham and Bertans?
    Comes with a different opportunity cost. Moore doesn't cost them anything, either against the cap or in terms of a player already on the team. Not only do they retain the spot that Pon takes ups (which they can use for trades or whatever), but they can cut Moore at any time and sign another two-way player. I certainly don't think QP is so valuable that they had to avoid moving him or something, but I don't fault them for keeping his contract on the books rather than bringing Jones in. The Spurs didn't find guys like Danny Green and Patty Mills by signing washed-up d-league vets.

    Averaged 11 & 6 in 28 minutes last year in the G-League. He's a 6'8 power forward that can't shoot.

    Terrence Jones is going off in the G-League and they bring this guy up PATFO
    He shot 35% from 3, so his shot is apparently more accurate than your ty takes.

    He's apparently whatever F you want. His Basketball Reference stats call him a PF, but Wikipedia says SF, and ESPN just says F.

    6’8” with 6’11” wingspan, high energy guy and ability to set up plays. He’s a glue guy.

    Depends on what you want. It is one of our best tank strategies.

    He played the 4 and 5 in College but he has good handles and can get to the rim and finish at a high rate. He is also pretty good at help defense and has a springy jump which helps in put backs, rebounds, and blocks. He is as someone mentioned a mobile SF/PF. I agree with some post that’s if he can improve his 3 ball he could become a good back up looking like a 10th man.

    At this point I would rather go through young guys who may have a chance then old vets playing last year in league. Was really pissed as the Spurs should have had three or four SF in G League last year and this year.

    Underrated signing. This guy has a very complete game. Long wing span, super athletic and mobile. High Bball IQ, good locker room guy, hard worker and got coached by Pop's mentor Larry Brown. He's a good shot blocker, rebounder and passer, makes hustle plays, sets good screens, can roll or play pick and pop. Has a midrange as well as a 3-point shot and good handles. Has also post moves and a jump hook.

    If you ask me he's already a better player than Metu and Blossomgame and is better at everything in Basketball than Bertans except 3-point shooting. All he really needs is minutes, I hope Pops gives him those. He might need a year or two but could be a good rotation piece going forward and maybe even starter down the line. If his game translates to the NBA level he should be able to surpass Cunningham. This is the perfect 4 to play next to Aldridge.

    I like this signing. If his skills translate to nba level, we have a pretty young core in the future. He is a passing big and that’s what we missed losing Diaw, Splitter and even Kyle. He’s working on his 3 points shots, and that would get him the minutes at 3 and D.

    Well, I'm not going to go as far to say that he's better than Metu. He definitely has more skill than Metu, but has less athleticism and size.

    Blossomgame has an NBA body, but I suspect that he's too small for the game he plays. There's a reason why he isn't part of the team.

    He's just on a two-way, so there's something that PATFO is hesitant about. In general, PATFO has picked up guys from nowhere that have become serviceable players. Temple, Jamychal Green, Tolliver. These guys never got drafted but seem to be good enough to keep getting contracts.

    he's definitely slept on and has all the tools to make it. His game is pretty complete and he also has the work ethic. It will take a while, but if somebody can turn him into an NBA player it's the Spurs

    I was high on Metu also, but seeing him play out there showed he was a lot of times lost, turnover prone, albeit rookie mistakes that’s why he needs to spend more time in G-League. Granted Metu has length and athleticism, but right now Moore seems more nba ready than him, so far.

    I agree that he has to spend time in the G-league. Has he even played a game there?

    But let's be real here, Moore is a two-way, Metu has a guaranteed contract. That's a massive difference in the eyes of PATFO.

    Again with the archaic positional designation. He should be classified as a big wing. Since he's a poor range shooter, I'd compare him to the likes of Hollis-Jefferson, Kidd-Gilchrist and (Stanley) Johnson.

    The first two now play almost exclusively as nominal PF's and the third probably would if the 2 best players on his team weren't bigs, but they're still wing defenders. All that really means is, they longer play with two traditional bigs, so they don't have to serve as pseudo perimeter players on offense.
