Does anyone disagree with this statement?

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Pop didn't ever try to turn him into a point guard. He played forward here.

You wouldn't play him ahead of Finley? Do you know how much Finley sucks?

Finley is a proven vet in this league. He was huge for us against the Mavs last year.

What has Brown done? Other than underachieve and get injured. The guy was a decent player at best. Nothing to get a boner over.

[Kori Ellis]

Actually, he didn't say that.

Even if he did, you can't refer to him as a "back up PF". Finley played PF last year too in the playoffs, does that make him a back up power forward? Or does that make him a SG who can play PF when we play small ball?

Devin > Udrih, even as a point guard. Devin > Finley and Barry, especially considering what the Spurs need (rebounding, defense and clutch shooting), Devin > anyone the Spurs put at PF during small ball.

Anyway, you can stop with your nonsense.

I think the point of the thread was that our bench sucks

[timvp]

Devin > Udrih

But that's not saying much. Not to mention in all his time here Pop could never convert him into a true point.

Are you serious?

[LaMarcus Bryant]

I still remember seeing Devin brown's first minutes as a spur, when we signed him to a 15 day contract or somethin


I still remember his first dunk as a spur.

And I remember pop benching his ass for ign up.
But I also remember him shutting down Dirk

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Because I told you to go watch a game?

You were funnier when you tried to make fun of me for comparisons I never made.

Telling you to watch a game in which Devin played power forward came across to you as me trying to be funny?

Why do I even respond . . .

[gospursgooo]

Devin > Udrih

But that's not saying much. Not to mention in all his time here Pop could never convert him into a true point. You can't just turn a scorer into a point guard (see: Tony Parker). Would you play Devin ahead of Finley? I wouldn't. Would you play him ahead of Barry? I wouldn't. But Timvp seems to think he'd make a solid back up Power Forward. So maybe I'm wrong...

You wouldn't play Devin ahead of Finley? Hahaha... you're kidding, right? Right?

[THE SIXTH MAN]

What a drama queen

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Are you serious?

Was it that ridiculous of a statement?

Am I the only one who remembers Devin trying to be used as a back-up PG? He was thought to be a guy who could be a true PG but turned out to be a better 2 or 3....(and 4, apparently).




Now I'm getting paranoid. Tell me somebody else remembers Devin Brown not being all he was cracked up to be as a back-up PG. =/

Devin was never used as the backup PG. They never tried to convert him to a true point guard. He was used to backup the swingmen and at PF during small ball.

Maybe you don't know who Devin Brown is

Keeping in mind Devin Brown's a starter. Playing for a crappy team, where he should be getting alot of playing time/opportunities.

Devin never played a minute at point guard as a Spur. Not even in summer leagues or in preseason. The Spurs never even thought about making him a point guard.

Hopefully you are just joking around and I missed the joke.

Hopefully.

[milkyway21]

Maybe you don't know who Devin Brown is

[milkyway21]

the team's best backup small forward

right now, I 100% agree with this. Bowen needs heeelp!!!

[timvp]

Let's see if Please_dont_ban_me can pick Devin Brown out of this photo lineup:

You're telling me Devin Brown never once came off the bench and brought the ball up the floor as a PG?

[milkyway21]

this thread is getting hilarious right now

[Kori Ellis]

You're telling me Devin Brown never once came off the bench and brought the ball up the floor as a PG?

Even Tim Duncan brings the ball up the floor sometimes. But it doesn't mean that Spurs are trying to convert him to a true point guard and think that's his calling.

No. I mean as a backup PG.

Like, the lineup was never:

Devin
Manu
Bowen
Duncan
Whoever



I wish there were some sort of stat kept for bench players. Contrary to what Timvp thinks, I do keep up with the Spurs.

Sorry. I can dream.

Devin never played point guard for the Spurs. Give it up.

Are you sure you've been watching the right Spurs?

[Please_dont_ban_me]

I don't think I'm wrong.

You can continue to be condescending. I really don't care. When you show me some sort of proof that Devin Brown never once played back-up PG for the Spurs, I'll "give it up".

[MannyIsGod]

I disagree with the statement. I think Devin just wasn't going to work here. I don't think he would have been any worse, but TBH no one thought our 2/3s from the bench were going to be the big problem this year. We all knew the back 1 might be an issue, and the 4 spot would more than likely be an issue, but no one was thinking that Devin fit a need.

[MannyIsGod]

God damn, i meant to post that way earlier in this thread, but I walked away from the computer and by the time I hit enter there was an entire thread. Oh Well.

Either way, I do wish Devin were here right now, but only because I've lost so much hope in Finley. Finley broke my heart.

[Cry Havoc]

You can't openly say anything you want and then expect people to disprove you and claim you're correct in your assumption otherwise. The burden of proof lies with you. You are the one who claimed he played PG, it is your job to back up that statement if you expect to be taken seriously.
