We been playing a load of basketball these last 3 years.... Give them a ing brake

Going into the regular season, we sure don't have a very good backup to Parker. Cojo will be eaten alive by most of the compe ion. He doesn't seem to understand that hero ball isn't part of the Spurs scheme, but I'm hoping he's just trying to get the coaches to notice him in pre-season.

Just all around terrible take.

The energy Patty brought off the bench last year is pretty underrated on how much it impacted the spurs I think. Dude was a huge reason why the Spurs bench was the best in the league.

The main problem with Cojo is the fact that he can't hit a ing open shot. That's hurting him a lot to fit Pop's system.

If he had at least a 3-point shot, he would be at least a poor's man George Hill. Right now, he is a basically a combo guard that gives the team some defensive effort, but offers nothing offensively. That's why we saw him "trying too much" offensively with some hero ball against Houston.

Even though I like him, I don't think there's a place for him in San Antonio in the future if he doesn't develop at least a 3-point shot. Defensive effort alone won't keep him in SA.

I just sent a text to Pop telling him that Anderson > Cojo


Thank me later

[Splits]

look at Manu's numbers

under 20% shooting with 4 TOs per game

I think you're right. I'll thank you now.

[ElNono]

he couldn't hit the side of a barn in preseason, real talk

[littlecoyotecoin]

he couldn't hit the side of a barn in preseason, real talk

Yeah. Lol. He was 9% from 3. Good stuff. Almost nothing but up from there.

[ceperez]

Spurs should waive or trade Cojo..... let Manu or Anderson play point.

Cojo just doesn't know how to set up the offense. Also he think he's Tony Parker and holds on the ball too long.

Waive the dude!

Yeah, no.

I won't waive a defensive player when the team has guys like Belinelli, Ayres, Daye, Bonner on it.

You cannot win with offense alone.

[littlecoyotecoin]

He was ok. I know D is supposed to be a real strength of his. I just didn't see it on display vs. other guards this preseason. Maybe I didn't do a good job of observing. I still hold out hope, but I expect a PG to QB the offense, shoot, pass, and drive to the hoop. He can do one of those four things (drive). I don't expect my PG to be a defensive weapon, so if you sell me him on his D he better be Bowen 6'2". That he's not. It may be his strongest suit because his others are so weak, but I don't know that he's a great defender. I think it's been overhyped. And I am still getting the overall impression that whatever slight defensive advantages he offers do not make up for his inep ude on offense. Preseason. Whatever. Maybe he turns it on Tuesday, and looks like a different player. Dribbling out of the hunchback position, looking where he's going and where his teammates are, and everything. The whole package.
