Like I said before Ben Moore is going to give you a double double every game.
Huestis, moore, Walker, metu, and eubanks are all interesting future options.
I don't get why so many here think Josh Huestis has such NBA potential. His +/- stats with Austin are beyond mediocre (in the g League!). He's a net negative player on that team... there are tons of players who dominate down there and still can't secure a spot on an NBA team. DeJuan Blair has a better chance of being called up.
Blair’s number won’t be called. At Whataburger, they bring the food to you. He just leaves the number at the table.
As a rotational guy he has potential. He had it early in his career and now his offensive game seems to have improved
17 rebounds for Moore. WowBen Moore
No, it hasn’t. Look at his stats, old school or analytics. They suck donky balls. Don’t be fooled by YouTube clips. They only show the good stuff.
I’ve been wondering why they haven’t brought Moore up. He’s a two way, and wouldn’t take up a roster spot. Then, it occurred to me that they may be hiding him, so that no one else can sign him after the g-league season ends.
I don’t Think people are that high on huestis here. If you tell me who i prefer i will go with moore or eubanks. If huestis can defend on sg and sf he could be interesting but i don’t Know match about that.
can you explain that please ?
I was thinking about a rule... but you mean, as no team will see moore, nobody will make a good offer To him?
If he’s good, why don’t they just sign him. For sure Spurs need an athletic SF who can help provide both defense and offense, especially when Gay is out. Or is he not what they’re looking for? I don’t know the rules, but is the roster fixed now going in the playoffs or can they still sign a free agent?
He's not really a SF, but more of a PF in a SF body. He's leading the ASpurs in rebounding(9.2), with more per game than Eubanks(7.7), Brimha(8.1), and Metu(7.3). I think he currently lacks the perimeter skills to play on the wing, other than shooting.
So they’re still looking from outside, but can they still sign? Or did that already pass? Is this the final roster going to the playoffs? Because we’re thin, and one injury away from being eliminated.
Moore won't change that. He's a d-leaguer with potential, but would immediately be the 15th man on the roster if he were signed. To have some effect on this team, he needs to go through a training camp, learn the system on both sides of the ball, and earn some PT. I think he can do it, but he won't be any help this year.
Thank you. I love Eubanks getting some minutes and he’s a quicker body than Gasol. But I hope they still can get that elusive SF to defend long perimeter players, because Dante is not it.
Agree with you I really like Moore but he played a lot of Center at SMU so making adjustment to PF/SF will take time and coaching so he is perfect for G League. I like the fact that Larry Brown coached him and recruited him a nice article about Brown making him run PG duties in practice for a whole year to round out his game. He has the hops he has the Spurs character loves playing defense he just needs to work on offense side his 3 ball and mid range.
He'll turn 24 at the end of May. If they get him into camp next year, I think he has a good shot. He has the one thing you can't teach: an understanding of the game. Larry Brown said he just always knew the right play to make. I think he can transition to the wing with a lot of hard work.
Consider that
(1) Spurs have 3 draft picks next year
(2) There a ton of free agents available next year
(3) Pondexter, Cunningham are expiring contracts
(4) Gay will be resigned
(4) There are only 3 spots open next year
Signed players next year:
mills/murray/forbes/white/walker
derozan/belinelli/bertans
aldridge/poetl/metu
So 3 spots for draft picks, free agents and g-league openings.
2 spots for two-way contracts
Two-ways don't count against your 15 man roster. That's why they were invented, in order to pay two guys in the d-league MORE money and still get them some limited big club minutes without leaving your team short handed when they're down on the farm team.
I'm also not writing Metu's name in pen on the 15 man roster coming out of camp next fall. He's sucked pretty badly in NBA minutes, and would be a cheap cut at less than $1M. If they cut Metu, that leaves FIVE open spots, and maybe three draft picks (or less?) to go against that count.
You mean four if we sign Rudy gay and cut metu.
A lot will depends on the draft, if we take a guard it’s Sure that one of our guard will go for example.
imo one player of the actual roster will not be there next year, could be metu or other, minus pon and cun , plus 2 picks and you have Two slots for free agency.
If we don’t draft a big it’s almost a guarantee that we sign Eubanks you can tell Metu is not happy as a big with a signed contract loosing playing time to a undrafted player.
