Check out the ridiculous move at the 1:03 mark.

Haislip will make all but the most fanatical fans forget Gist.

Wow, those videos are awesome. I really wish he had played the summer league so we could have seen him recently and against the NBA-style game again.

I'll admit, I kind of had him on my list of "we'll see" guys. I wasn't sure if he would be able to contribute or not. But his skill-set makes me salivate. For the vet min this guy seems to be definitely worthy of a two-year tryout.

In fact, that contract could very well be a damn coup.

Hill-Hairston-Gist-Haislip-Ian....These 5 would be on the floor together would be the anti-spurs (fast break basketball and highlight reel dunks all over the place).

[Go For Tree]

Damn! Im starting to believe that 48 minutes might not be enough time for our front court......

Not to mention Haislip is ready for the Artest types.......

With the addition of RJ, McDyess and Blair, the Haislip signing has been a little forgotten but I really like it.

Spurs have suffered for years against mobile PFs and Spurs have signed Haislip to fix that weakness. I don't know if Haislip will work out for Spurs but I really like the logic behind that signing. Haislip could turn into a damn important player in some matchups.

Watching those videos he shows some crazy nice mobility. He has a nice first step and moves like a guard. His primary position is PF, but I wonder if the Spurs think they can play him as a SF.

Hes definitely the team darkhorse right now.

Man Haislip just has a 6th sense that directs him towards the rim.

I totally agree! I don't know if I could watch another game where the Spurs make David West look like Micheal Jordan!

a poor man Marcus Camby!??!

Anybody noticed the mechanics of his 3-point shots?
Instead of jumping up and elevating over the perimeter defender, he leaps forward and up, landing always inside. Note: most of his 3P were without a body on him or over smaller defenders.
I don't know how would that work in the NBA: 1) would a bigger defender block his shots?; b) would his up-fore-leap create contact with the defender?; c) although he has a good 3P% in Europe (30% in Turkey and 38% in Spain), his % in the NBA is 26.7% (I don't recall any of his games in the Pacers or Bucks, so I don't know if he was already shooting this way before 2005)

Any of Chip's disciples care to enlighten me on this?
Thanks.

I also thought his 3-pointers were quite odd.
