What I'm paying attention to is the absence of a 3rd point guard. Obviously, Washington has his flaws, but we were led to believe that the club favored his long-term potential to that of Beno. Now they have nothing behind TP and JV. At some point, you've got to pick a guy, ride with him - even if he is occupying the 14th or 15th spot.
Even if he sucks?
There are actually a few point guards available who would do fine to finish out the season if that's all we're looking for. Few projects are going to do better than Manu or Barry at this time in actual games, so I'd worry about that only if both were going to be out for months.
Personally I'd like to see Langford developed as a combo guard because he can do a fair job of running the point. If not, I have trouble understanding why the Spurs haven't picked up CJ Watson already, but we haven't reached a crisis mode by a long shot.
Interesting that you mention Langford as combo material. I actually think that is what the Spurs have in mind as Pop is giving him time at the point in practice.
Little bit of inside info from his girlfriend who is an intern with the Austin Toros! Cutie pie she is.
That makes the most sense to me. He is short for a shooting guard but has excellent size for the point, and his attacking style that Pop has encouraged makes me think that Langford has replaced Darius Washington as the Tony Parker Lite project.
I'm not allowed to talk to the cute interns or dancers....
go Keith.
A coouple of questions on Langford.
What kind of handle does he have?
Does he have prior PG experience?
Could he be used at some point at the NBA level - in a pinch?
