I've been wondering lately why the Spurs called up White rather than let him play in the NBDL. Did they feel thar practicing with NBA talent would benefit him more than playing in the NBDL? A contract issue? In case of a trade?
Usually, players have to show Pop something in practice. Pop normally starts getting his top 8 or 9 rotation players hitting on all cylinders in the stretch run. Bonner needs some playing time following his injury, since he's earned some minutes with his good play this year. White, Butler and Beno are there for injury protection. Probably Ely is too, but that remains to be seen.
I watched White shooting before a Spurs game one time from the wings and corners and he was sorry. Chip wasn't even guarding him.Why the J-White love?

The first time they called him up (earlier in the season) was because of some injuries. This latest call up was because they wanted him to get in practice time with the Spurs.
I would think Ely will get some sort of shot. He seems motivated. I don't think Pop would throw away a 2nd round pick to get him and not get a chance to see what he can do. But who knows, if Pop doesn't like what he sees in practice then Ely might not get a chance. And, the closer we get to the playoffs the less likely Ely will get a chance to get in to Pop's shrinking rotation.
Proven troll players?
Why are you so self-depreciating, Sequ?
I've been on Spurstalk for a while, but is it just me or is sequ anti-spur?Right now he could be developing his younger players in White, Ely and Butler. Instead we have to see Finley, Oberto, Vaughn, Beno and Bonner play during mop up time...
This mother er hasn't learned a got damn thing from his losses to the top teams in the NBA....
Is he fukin dumb or what? Why in the do you have 3 youngsters watching in suits???? IN A man.....
He's the Spurstalk enigma.
with jeff drums he's one of the brightest signs of spurs fans decline
I think Pop knows what he's doing.
Last I heard, they are trying to rush Ely back into shape. He's not ready to play yet but he's running his ass off. If the Spurs keep playing well enough to extend garbage time, I expect to see him within the next four or five games.
I wouldn't trust him parking my car. I'm sure he'd flip it over somehow, even though it was a straight shot between the lines.
I'd only trust Beno to park my car if Pop isn't sitting in the back seat watching him do it.

What would possess you to call this person a " ing moron" over a simple comment like that? Did he steal your woman? Did he call your mother out? Seriously, tone down the adolescent insults.
I agree. I would rather put Beno on IR and give a chance to White or Ely.
an you should just

hahaha, I think thats sig worthy, IMO
He would just give the car to Chuck Hayes.
He developes younger players when they are good.
ie. TD, TP and Manu, otherwise, he lets the better players play.
That is not dumb, that is being realistic.
Then why sign players that can't play then?
It's not that they CAN'T play, it's that they aren't better than what the Spurs currently have....in Pop's opinion.
they learn in practice.
garbage time is primarily for starters to rest. if they have to go back in the game, it's not very restful. the garbage players need to be good enough to keep the lead, at least some of the time.
