Spurs sign Josh Huestis

[Chinook]

He had already been playing under a summer contract when he was pictured at the training facility. Either that or he's an enormous idiot.

The point I was making is that a) "summer contract" and "training-camp contract" are interchangeable -- Coon called it the former; the NBA called it the latter -- and b) X-10 deals also negate the injury rules. If you click on the CBA FAQ link, it talks about how X-10 deals usually contain X-9 provisions in them, but it's redundant.

It's not about being an idiot or not. The X-10 provision allows the Spurs to pay him up to $50k to get optioned to Austin. It doesn't have to be converted to a full two-way deal to incentivize Huestis to stay in the Spurs' system.

I was only saying he was already playing under an expenses-only contract when he was injured. Maybe he signed the same contract again after receiving the injury payout for the first. I wouldn't be surprised.

No offense game to speak of, could be Bruce Bowen light. Although they have a guy like that in the Gleague already(Washburn). So now they will have two, or 3 if they add Blossomgame.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

good on huestus but lonnie 2-12 wtff

[exstatic]

Holy . Huestis hit 2 three pointers?

[Pavlov]

Both makes were off screens. A flat shot but he's taking them. He's not in game shape but I like the way he's playing so far.

[San Antonio Slayer]

Blair is back?! Did I miss something with New Year celebrating?

[playbonner15]

Huestis - the missing piece to a chip

[playbonner15]

This team will barely make it into the playoffs and be bounced. God, it's going to be miserable watching trash like DeRozan.

[BackHome]

Man besides Eubanks everyone was terrible last night did they all get stomach posioning?

Just curious who do you think has more upside or who is a better fit to be brought up Huestis or Ben Moore?

[Dverde]

2-12 shows confidence. He knows these games mean nothing. Just getting reps.

[John B]

3 and D bruh. I hope he continues. Better than Cunningham I hope.

So far I’m not impressed with Moore. He’s a glue guy and a bruiser though and I like him.
Huestis is a more prototypical SF, long and athletic, better on closeouts, blocking shots. He fits more what the Spurs need, right? I hope he continues his better shooting.

We’re stacked baby

That's a bad way to approach it if you want to get playing time with the Spurs.

Worked for Bryn Forbes.

[superbigtime]

impressive line for Eubanks. don't know much about him but read that he was a 4 star #1 ranked HS player in Oregon when he signed on to Oregon St. Passed on Sr year to enter the draft but went undrafted. No one talks much about him. Seems way better than end of bench stiffs in the past including last year. Do Spurs have a bona fide player here?

[SpursDynasty85]

Worked for Bryn Forbes.

He can't just use the game as a jumpshot practice session. G League is compe ive. In fact Spurs are struggling to get wins. First and foremost you gotta learn how to win games. Bryn did that pretty well and put up stats. Same with White.

[Leetonidas]

Heustis would certainly be an improvement over Cunningham. Hope he can work his way back up and earn a spot at the end of the bench

[exstatic]

3 and D bruh. I hope he continues. Better than Cunningham I hope.

He’s never had the 3 before, but his D is top notch. Even 34-35%3s gets him a spot on the roster, likely next year.

Not good for Lonnie. Still inconsistent, needs to fix that!

[ceperez]

I'll take some elite D at the SF spot versus no D (as in Cunningham). Against the likes of GSW and OKC, somebody needs to pick up Durant or George on defense. You don't want DeRozan or Gay doing this job.

The thing is, you literally couldn’t play him. His offense wasn’t a zero, it was negative. If you check his NBA shooting charts on bbref, in about a seasons worth of games, spread over several seasons, he’s never made a jumper between 16-20 feet. Never.

[8FOR!3]

How is Andre Roberson viewed as a legit starting 2 guard in the league but huestis isn’t viable bc he can’t shoot? They do the same things
