Word.
I see a few things, but could you be specific about what you're seeing in so many different ways?
I see him being told to be more aggressive and he's doing so, especially with his weight loss and new position.

What else?

Is he performing better in this new role?

Ill chime in that he looks much more comfortable in his roll as our number 1 player.

Thats game (0-1)

[tonight...you]

I think that's a good thing.
Kind of a good thing?

Depends on what we want, but we generally want the same thing.

- more agile on both sides of the ball with that slimmed down frame

- kicking the ball on his drive’s versus having tunnel vision when he goes to the rack

- pullup 3’s

The bad thing about Primo for me isn't his ballhandling or slow speed pace ...

It's that he doesn't look for his three pointer as lead guard. He's out trying to run the offense like he's Jacque Vaughn.

If he's not going to pull from 3 off the dribble then he's no use and worse than Tre Jones.

Vassell with double figures on 3-14 shooting

[slick'81]

30 point game

[Chomag]

[slick'81]

[spurraider21]

As usual Charlottes big are just bending Poeltl over and long ing him, like every other big does in the nba.

I don't understand how the spurs think they going to get a 1st round pick or multiple 1st round picks for a big who is on every other bigs highlight poster

[slick'81]

Empty that bench pop

jak sucks at defending bigs... but hes still a high end weakside protector, good rebounder, and solid finisher/passer on offense. he has value. but his weakness is defending his own position. teams that run their offense through their bigs these days are fairly few and far between

[Dex]

The tank is on the track.

I know we have different eyes and I respect yours, but:
I didn't see the more agility. I saw maybe one move, but that didn't do anything for me.
Not criticizing him, but eyes can be different.
Second point: Yes, yes. Hence why we should let players play before instant judgement (not referring to you) and let some guys grow before burning them upon the cross.

Hasn't he been doing his pull-up 3 since college?

[SPURt]

Forgot I could switch to the Spurs stream in LP. Freaking watched the whole game with the Hornets announcers, who weren’t that bad. But by mid 4th they started orgasming over this Hornets team like they’re beating the mess out of the Warriors.

[cd98]

So proud of our guys. I know it sucks to lose, but they are doing a good job of losing. Finally, we are getting how this team is going to turn it around...by getting rock bottom.

[heyheymymy]

6 mins of burn for the minuto de garbaje lineup

[slick'81]

This is going to be a loong,slow,painful season

[rankingtear]
