    I disagree with your take on Barry's D...

    Pop praised his D for the first time ever this season...


    Last year Barry was a non factor, and I don't think he did anything better than this year...Finley and Van Ex took his jobs.
    Barry went from being one of the best on the team in terms of opponent's point scored differential between when he was on the court to when he was off the court, to the worst on the team.

    Last season, the effort was there all year and he became an average NBA defender. This year, he played no defense for a long stretch and then when he finally started playing defense, Pop noted it.

    But I do agree that this year has far surpassed his other seasons as a Spur.

    I can't get behind giving Finley a C overall


    Yeah, his defense has been suspect, but considering he never was a defensive stopper I think a D is still too harsh. Also, his offense has been very solid and he's easily been the consistent Spur outside the big 3 in terms of offense.

    He definitely deserved at least a B- despite a slow start

    Thanks Timvp to share your knowledge.
    That kind of stuff makes Spurstalk worthy to be.
    It's greatly appreciated.

    For March and April, that's true. But from November through February, his numbers were awful. If these were grades for just the last month or so of the season, he would have been one of the best.

    I'm thinking if TimVP giving a B grade to Elson (offense), is not over rating with he only averaging 4.8 pts/G as center?

    Agreed. Fin went through a huge shooting slump this year, and coupled with defensive lapses and no rebounding it seems like a fair grade. He's been much much better in all categories just in time for the playoffs.
