Othyus Jeffers thoughts

[crc21209]

Non-issue really. He'll likely be gone in 10 days anyway. And by the way, no one should even be sniffing a #12 jersey but Bruce Bowen....

...His only previous experience in the NBA: 16 games last season with the Utah Jazz, coached then by Jerry Sloan, a Popovich role model.

“Yeah, they’re the same, but they’re different, too,” said Jeffers, who played for the Iowa Energy of the D-League before signing a 10-day contract with the Spurs. “Coach Sloan is pretty much poker-faced, but he’ll tell you what he wants. Pop will change it up and throw in a smile now and then. But it ends up the same way. They tell you what to expect and if you don’t give it to them, they’ll move on to the next person.”


..."He’s a good defender, and if he gets in a game we want to see him defend,” (Popovich) said.


..."Energy,” (Jeffers) said. “I sat down with the coaches and went over the thing they expect me to do, and that’s pretty much bringing energy and helping on defense.”

Liked his hustle, but he needs to take off Bruce's jersey and get his own number.

He didn't look that bad, but is he ahead of Anderson? Haven't heard why James didn't suit up. If you want #12 in the rafters, make a sign and march on the capital!!

unfortunately i didnt watch the game but i heard most of it on the radio..

I admit it kinda threw me off that he was wearing Bruce's jersey but it's not like we're signing a player that will last, tbh. If anything, he can have his number changed. Also, Pop let Danny Green wear his "beloved" player Michael Finley's number so I wouldn't look into this too much.

shoots way too ing much.

He took three shots from the floor and made one in eight minutes.

No one should be wearing Bowen's jersey NO ONE. That should be in the rafters.

Agreed 100%

[jimo2305]

maybe he's trying to send a message by giving him jersey #12

[Seventyniner]

On Jeffers: Meh. 13th man.
On the jersey number: WTF Pop.

I do not like his habit, seen immediately last night, of one-handing the ball. Two Hands! This ain't Rucker Park

[BackHome]

Oh give me a break it is a D-league call up in garbage time and your giving him a hard time? Either way he did OK for a first game in garbage time.

One thing is that you can tell why is is a great rebounder he has long arms and huge freakin hands.

I actually wouldn't mind the Spurs bringing back that Owens kid.

I think Othyus is obviously a good luck charm!
