    See the above post. Roster spots are about as tight as they've ever been on this team, and all three picks look like NBA players. I know you're married to the idea that this was a terrible draft. It doesn't look that way so far.
    Roster spots aren't tight this year and, yes, it increasingly will look like a bad draft, although Gist is a bright spot at his selection. Hairston could be an NBA player down the road and Hill once again looks like a promising 2nd rounder. I'm not 'married' to anything, what a silly thing to say.

    Again - and this is by far the better view - two or three rookies will make the team this year because there are slots to fill. In previous years those slots were already taken by veterans.

    That's the real problem with the roster. There's no scoring from the bench in any fashion. Counting Ginobili as a starter, only Mason has any purported skill in putting the ball in the hoop. This will be the worst scoring Spurs team in years. It's literally terrible.

    Yeah, it's really tragic all the great Spurs draft picks that had to be allowed to go to other NBA teams, and it's really too bad the Spurs couldn't get guys like Mahinmi, James White, Darius Washington and Marcus Williams into games last year because veterans like Mighty Mouse were already on the roster.

    I'm contrasting guys who have learned how to score in the league so far and the rookies. I'd love for Hill to start scoring at a 10 ppg clip, but it will take some time for him to get there. It's far more likely he requires slower development and may not get much time early on. Last year the team started off incredibly quick and managed to use that for good P.O. position. What will the bench be doing this year?

    ... but is it even worth discussing with you?

    Seriously, what is this bug up your ass? Am I supposed to jolly clap my hands like an epic re and claim the Rookie Krew will be scoring over 30 ppg together game in and game out?

    This forum is seriously infected with Tinkerbell Disease. Only clap hard enough and no one will suffer the laws of gravity. What a bunch of clods.

    I take great solace in the fact that Mr. Body was completely and utterly wrong about last year's draft.

    Was I?

    Are we talking Splitter/Williams? Or this continued fantasyland where people make up about what I've said?

    Because I can't stick around and spar with the great babbling brook of excrement, I'll assume you're just making up.

    I'll stab at the dark and guess you're pretending the Splitter draft, in my mind, was a bad one, and that Marcus Williams was not the best pick with the selection we got from Milwaukee.

    In that case, a) you are incorrect, unsurprisingly. Splitter was an excellent pick there. Naturally things have changed since then, but at the time it was very good. b) I was surprised Williams was the pick and thought it was a bad selection. Despite the fact that few players turned out in the 2nd round at all so far, even you, in your benightedness, have to admit it didn't work out for the Spurs.

    Uh... so that was 2 for 2? Hmm... 100% correct.

    So tell me, how was I 'completely and utterly wrong' about last year's draft? Or are you just spewing garbage for no apparent reason?

    Suck my . I'm sick of you.

    You know what's truly bizarre? There's like this spreadsheet of bull where Aggie Weed keeps claiming I said one thing years ago, Manny keeps claiming I said this other thing, and you come up with inane bull of your own. I don't know if it's a circlejerk way of keeping yourselves occupied or what. It truly doesn't matter a whole lot, but what's absolutely terrific about the situation is that I couldn't give a flying fig or a what you guys say at any point of history on this board. I don't have this ongoing diary of abnormalities except I think Manny once suggested Maggette could run point when Parker is out. Otherwise I don't have this elephantine memory of ghostly indiscretions or something. I truly don't care what you have to say.

    It's like you're a bunch of fat slobs with absolutely nothing going for you and inside the dessicated honeycombs of your brains you've found need to store up flecks of bull to pull up about various SpursTalk posters. Jesus, man. I don't doubt in two years you'll be claiming I was 'completely and utterly' wrong about the 2007 Spurs draft. I could set my watch by it.

    So... kindly explain how I was wrong about the draft or else proceed to forthwith suck my . Thanks.

    I guess it's not worth discussing, since contrasting the rookies is not what you were doing. Just FYI, Mason is the only guy the Spurs have added that isn't a rookie, and you are suggesting that he's a good scorer but the Spurs are going to be worse. It all goes back to your failed premise that Hill can't score based on his SL numbers.

    Let's just go ahead and fix your previous statement, and add the proper emoticon:

    This will be the worst scoring Spurs team in year.

    You loudly and repeatedly declared it the deepest and most imporatant draft ever.

    And you even admitted you were wrong around the time of this year's draft.

    You are very entertaining that way.

    So yeah, your ranting about this draft and how much it sucks makes me feel pretty good about it, since you were so wrong last year.

    You say a bunch of stupid stuff, repeat the same stupid stuff and you are wrong quite often.

    That's all I'm saying. If I really make you as angry as you seem from your last post, feel free to ignore my posts while continuing to be wrong. It's definitely not as big a deal as you are trying to make it, internets tough guy.

    What's funny is that when Spurs fans as a whole are all happy with the offseason, the Spurs end up flaming out in the playoffs. When Spurs fans are pissed about the offseason, the Spurs go on to win championships.

    This phenomenon has held true for pretty much the entire Tim Duncan Era.

    WTF has Mr. Body ever been right about? Seriously? I mean just last week he was claiming that the teardrop Tony Parker DEVELOPED after his first few seasons was a talent that couldn't be learned. He'd definitely an expert on contract buy outs. His draft analysis is on par with Finely's 2008 playoff shooting.

    Now he's claiming that this years tea is a downgrade when all they've really done is replace Barry with Mason and Mason is younger, plays better defense, and PUT UP BETTER STATS than Barry did last year.

    We may very well turn out to be worse next year but there is no way to tell because NBA games are not played on paper. If we get a healthy Manu for the entire season and if we are able to get productive minutes out of Ian, Hill, and Mason then this team will be better than last years and it won't even be close.

    Whatever, if Mr. Body wants to sit here and argue that the Spurs lose the mid summer on paper championship then so be it.

    PS - There's a reason many of us give you for being wrong. You usually are. You could tell me the sky was blue and I'd have to run outside to make sure somthing hadn't happend before I believed you or took your opinion at face value.

    PPS - Find the post where I said Corey Maggette could play point guard please. I never said anything that stupid. There's a reason we actually remember the stupid you say and its because what you say is REALLY ING STUPID. I mean com'on, how would Holt save money on a buyout? Williams would have to take less money, RIGHT?

    I'm not gonna say Mr. Body is the sharpest tool in the box, but where are you getting this Mason put up better stats than Business

    STAT Barry Vs. Mason Vs Finley
    EFG% .631 .552 .501
    82Games Passing Rating 4.7 3.7 2.0
    82Games Rebounding Rating 10.8 8.2 12.2
    82 Games Hands Rating 21.0 14.7 19.2

    Rebound Rate 5.9 4.5% 6.8
    TO% 1.2 1.5 0.9
    AST% 16.1 13.2 8.6
    3P% 42.9 39.8 37.0

    Barry kicks Mason's ass 3 ways to Sunday on statistics... The guy Mason should be replacing (and would be an upgrade from, statistically), is Finley. He rebounds less, and has more TO's, but he passes much better and is a better shooter. I'm sure Mason plays better defense than either Barry or Finley, because both of them suck, and he's younger than either, but I'm gonna be A) pissed, and B) mystified if the FO decides that bringing back Finley is smarter than bringing back Barry. If they have, as it appears, decided that Barry ain't good enough, then Finley should be back either...
