Future All-Star?

**SpurPadre** · 10-16-2012

Tbh Manu while a HoFer has only appeared in 2 All-Star games

Ok, he was screwed out of the AS twice in his career but most other years, Pop has screwed his chances of making AS teams by playing him off the bench. To make 2 AS games in his position is an AMAZING feat.

Going on the record with an emphatic "no". That said, he's way better in pre-season than I thought he'd be. From watching his international play, I didn't think he had the footspeed, shooting touch or ball handling ability to make it in the NBA. I'd certainly love it if he proved me wrong.

Unlikely but not impossible. De Colo has the talent to be something special.

I'm actually surprised at how good the Spurs draft, tbh... Compare to the Bulls which collapsed when MJ and Pippen left.

**swaggerjackson** · 10-16-2012

Given a sample size of three preseason games where he has played fairly well, I think it is totally cool to try and predict what type of NBA career he will have. BTW why isn't Gary Neal leading the league in scoring while shooting 80% from 3?

**lmbebo** · 10-16-2012

No. Can be a good role player. Don't see him as a scoring threat.

**JRHernandez88** · 10-16-2012

lol damn i knew he was doing good but is he showing up like THAT in these preseason games??

**DapDaGenius** · 10-16-2012

So did I

Kid has got amazing vision but nowhere near the hops Manu does. I have yet to see a dunk online actually. Not the same type of player as Manu is. I just hope his nuts hang in the clutch. sjax style. we need that. Would love him develop into an all star but its extremely unlikely.

Oh lord...

**therealtruth** · 10-16-2012

People also said Rubio didn't have the footspeed but he's smart and crafty enough with his defense. I think De Colo can do the same thing.

**TDMVPDPOY** · 10-17-2012

KL vs DeCOLO soph rookie game, nice....

**8FOR!3** · 10-17-2012

I don't think TS is saying he's an all-star, he's just talking about De Colo's upside. I think it's pretty normal to talk about how good one of your players might turn out to be. I see more of a Ricky Rubio upside to him. Might not be as good, we'll find out how his game transitions to the NBA.

Imagine this was a Knicks message board during the height of Linsanity!

Probably thinking hof and multiple rings

Timvps making predictions, not his strength. Manu had what 2 or 3 good years for his career, so in that aspect de culo gon eclipse manu easy

**Fireball** · 10-18-2012

DeColo can be one of the guys who just look better because they play with great team players like the Spurs have a ton of. I doubt he will be an All-Star, but in this Spurs team he may play better than expected by anyone ...
