Spurs: Top 20 Available Swingmen

[ambchang]

If it wasn't for the injuries, DeMarr Johnson all the way baby. The man is atheletic, an excellent defender, and a decent scorer, all he needs is a consistent jumpshot, reminds me of a young Stacey Augmon .... but then Augmon never developed a jumpshot.

Actually DeMarr has a decent jumpshot. He has range out to the three but hes still pretty streaky. Not bad though. I would not mind him at all. 6'9 and as long as they come.....

as a fan I don't want to see Spree or Christie on my team. Sure, I'd root for them initially out of loyalty to the team... but I'm sure that would wane as the season went on and you keep hearing about there off court crap.

Spurs will be getting Jefferson from NJ for Rasho.

1. Devin Brown - The Spurs have put in the years and he's still growing as a player.
2. Damien Wilkins - Very talented player who coasted thru college but could star.
3. Maurice Evans - Lives in SA. Very athletic. Could help with Austin popularity.
4. Glenn Robinson - Most talented guy on the list. Character questions still linger.
5. Gerald Wallace - Awesome athlete. Dumber than a tree stump.
6. James Jones - Poor man's Stephen Jackson. Would be hard to steal from Indy.
7. Latrell Sprewell - A Pop favorite. Still putting up decent numbers. Starving family.
8. DerMarr Johnson - Had a good year last year but questions about his neck remain.
9. Allan Houston - Great shooter but doesn't have any knees.
10. Matt Barnes - Good all-around player but no real strength. Spurs like him.
11. Michael Finley - Good player but quickly turning into a disgruntled veteran.
12. Aaron McKie - Solid defender and shooter. Can't stay healthy.
13. Doug Christie - Solid defender, streaky shooter. Whipped beyond belief.
14. Jason Kapono - Very good shooter but a poor defender. Scrappy.
15. Greg Buckner - Really good defender. No threat on offense.
16. Derek Anderson - Decent overall player. Has been loyal to the injured list.
17. Casey Jacobsen - Whiny but can really shoot. Not much of a defender.
18. Rodney White - He's done some crazy stuff but can score.
19. Melvin Sanders - Summer league stud who can play great defense.
20. Theron Smith - The best defender on the list, but can't score.

1. D. Brown
2. Wilkins
3. Finley (even though he hasn't played defense since Elliot was playing)
4. J. Jones
5. G. Robinson (Not as talented as finley)


Flip Murray would be my 4th choice if he is still available


Never want to see Spreewell or Christie in spurs uniform.

Gerald Wallace deserves the number 1 spot

[Timmy21]

Wallace for me

[Taking it to the Hole]

I think we need a swingman to grow and mature with this team. The reason Bowen is so damn good is because he has learned the Spurs system on defense better than anyone and he has conditioned himself in the off-season every year. The guy is just a workhorse and I'm not sure I see any truly hungry players on this list. When i say hunger, I mean a desire to learn and develop as a player. I think most of the players like Finley, Houston, Christie, are at the tail ends of their careers and may not have the energy to buy into another system. I say if we take a risk, it has to be on a young kid, because if it doesn't work out, then it may still be possible to get something for them.

[mrose31]

Gerald wallace? He never got much playing time in Sacramento but I thought it was cause he did not get a chance to play then last year on Bobcats still did very little to impress me. He can Dunk and maybe good someday, but I doubt it. Off that list I might take him 8th or 9th.

[remingtonbo2001]

Haha! I believe the tree stump answered his name correctly on the SAT. I'm taking a poll on the following question: Who has the lower I.Q. among the two athletes...Gerald Wallace.....or.....the one....the only....Mike Tyson? Something for you guys to chew on....I will also be taking donations for the Sprewell Famine Fund! He has a family too, ya know!

[Chris]

I think Sprewell and Jacobsen are great picks if available. Devin would be great but he really deserves and wants a starting spot on another team.
