I meant it as a sort-of pe ion to get this guy signed...
2010-2011 Roster
C: Tiago Splitter - Antonio McDyess - Ian Mahinmi
PF: Tim Duncan - Dejuan Blair
SF: Keith Bogans - Richard Jefferson - Malik Hairston
SG: George Hill - Manu Ginobili
PG: Tony Parker - Cedric Jackson
A defensive minded and consistent scoring 1st Unit, and fast-breaking exploding offense in the 2nd Unit. Let's make it happen!
Mason and Bonner suck.Ian won't be here next year
I meant it as a sort-of pe ion to get this guy signed...
seems a little sloppy with the ball though. guess he has an excuse since it's his first couple of games with us. Seemed kind of "excited" to me.
The kid plays his ass off in whatever limited minutes hes been given. It would be smart to sign him the rest of the year so next season we have a legit backup point, but he was signed too late to be on a playoff roster right? Not that I think hes earned a PO roster spot but we really dont have a true back up point.
would you want him? i'll be glad to see him go
Maybe if he wanted to stay, which he does not.
We'll see what shakes up this off season. I think if the spurs make a playoff push Roger will be a big part of that as the team's best sniper off the bench.
Him and Hairston make an awesome sniper/slasher (inside/out) duo off the bench IMO.
If Roger can be consistent, then he would be a great alternative to Hairston, but he is not. He is streaky. On the other hand, if the opponent sleeps for a second, Malik is going to the rack. We need that kind of pressure in our offense.
So I guess I would rather not gamble on Mason anymore over Hairston. If Malik starts to falter then Mason is your back up this year.
At any rate, Pop seems to have found a few more weapons/combinations in the this team that can be used effectively. The team is getting a good feel to it.
Roger has been consistent this year when Pop has kept his role and minutes consistent. Which has been roughly 1/4 of the year i would say.
And I don't see a reason why they both can't play together off the bench, which would effectively make centerpiece the odd man out of the rotation.
How much longer does Jackson have with the team?
So Spurs have decided not to re-sign Jackson to another 10 days contract. It isn't a surprise given that he was inactive for the last couple of games. He wasn't that bad but I guess it wasn't enough.
Another reason behind that move could be that Spurs are higher on Temple. We will see what will happen at the end of his 10 days contract.
Too bad about Jackson. It felt reassuring having a true PG handling the ball, even if he wasn't that familiar with the Spurs' system. Maybe if he had a better jumpshot and had 3-point range, who knows? Anyway, as long as Manu keeps up his playmaking, things should be fine.
Kinda sucks. He was limited but I liked his aggression on defense and overall hustle. Perhaps they will look at him again this summer.
I think this kid Temple is a better fit, he also seems to handle the ball well, and he made some terrific passes he is quick and long, and a good defender who can will get better but these D-leaguers are not going to be part of any rotation come playoff time. We'll be lucky to see Ian in the playoffs, Hairston is making a case for himself, but knowing Pop, he will probably go with Mason over Hairston again once the playoffs come around and Tony returns.
he couldn't buy a bucket early in the season and played ty defense. is that supposed to earn him minutes?
He can't shoot the 3 (yet). Ok, neither can Tony (I know though there is no comparison). For a backup, we need another ball handler, not another spot up shooter. If we needed those why did Pop stop playing Findog?
Of course, we probably let him go because he hustled his azz off and can likely produce turnoversbecause no team, especially the Spurs, that produce sooo many turnovers from the other team (sigh) needs that from their role players.
Especially these Spurs, who have demonstrated tremendous heart in their blowout losses to the same teams they will face in the playoffs
I would say the opposite is probably true. I think if Pop isn't playing him in garbage time is because he doesn't want to showcase Cedric at all to the rest of the league. Probably get him into the SL over the offseason, and then if he holds up sign him as insurance at the PG spot.
He has shown good quickness and good passing ability. More of a true PG then what we have now. I think it would be of use to us when Ginobili isn't on the floor. Be nice to always have a passer/catalyst on the floor.
This is in the most optimistic view ofcourse. I could be completely wrong and he lets Cedric showcase himself to the rest of the league and then lets his 10-day expire.
I'm just saying it's more likely the Pop is evaluating him in practice and behind closed doors more so then just in an actual game. We all know how CIA pop works. Pop will never show his hand. If he likes the kid he will tell Cedric his interests and let the kid go, and then pick him up in the off-season.
expired
He's certainly not showing in on the court. I'll wait to see more of Temple now.
