yes let's draw that conclusion after 18 games
I still like the batum guy, lets compare them after a season or two

Both were players the Spurs liked. So, whichever one looks better "after a season or two," both are still evidence of players the Spurs knew about that most people didn't.

Toros and Energy don't play until January 17th.

10 day contracts will be open by then and I'm sure someone will swallow him up on one. Who knows if he'll stick though.

I'd waive one of Ahearn, Vaughn or Tolliver in favor of Sims right now though. If they really think Ahearn could stick on the squad next year as the 3rd PG then keep him around and dismiss Vaughn. But if Ahearn is a serious question mark then dimiss him. Theres always the chance they could go back and recall him if Sims fizzles out and they think they made a mistake dismissing Blake. I'm not a fan of dismissing Tolliver because I've seen some good things from him and hes a big that knows our system. Having depth in our frontcourt is important with the geriatrics running around and Mahinmi constantly injured.

Even if Sims joins the Spurs and then goes back to Austin I still see it as a plus. Can you imagine how good the Toros would be with Sims/Ahearn or Sims/Tolliver? Or better yet...Sims/Mahinmi.

I agree with you on Sims-- he has been on the rise since the end of last season and seems to have more potential than Ahearn at this point. Someone's gonna grab him soon. With Tony, Manu, Roger, Hill, & Finley, the backcourt is set. My choice for future 3rd string PG would be DeMarcus Nelson-- he was the ACC defensive player of the year last year at Duke, is playing well in the d-league, and has a wingspan even greater than George Hill's.

So he can cut his toenails standing up without bending over?
