What unispiring second round picks we have had in recent years. Not a single player with at least a glimpse of a chance of making it to the league, as to at least watch these Summer League games with any resemblance of enthusiasm.
Sidy Cissoko was somewhat intriguing, he just didnt grow offensively
How many second round picks have they taken in the last four years? Two? Three, with one still in Europe?
Nah, anyone paying attention knew that shot had no chance of ever being fixed. I had no hopes whatsoever regarding Cissoko. That's precisely my problem with the Spurs 2nd round picks, they never had a chance from the get go. It's almost as if they selected prospects with no future on purpose just so that they didn't need to comit to them.
Wilt and Jerry West played back to back to backs, five games in six nights, and did it flying commercial in canvas shoes. The Spurs can't play a 19 year old kid more than 20 minutes in two games.
Yep. It's like I was saying when Harper's injury was announced. I get not playing guys if they're at an elevated risk of injury. But the Spurs not taking the summer-league seriously is a bad look. They can't act like only the playoff matter when they've missed the playoffs for six straight seasons. We as fans have had to learn to look forward to this time of year (which has always been my personal favorite) as a way to seeing a hopeful future. It's not too much to ask that we see the people we're supposed to be sticking around to watch develop instead of guys who won't even be playing in the country in a few weeks.
he was a longshot (hence being a mid second rounder), but there was at least a lot of athletic upside with him and some intirguing tools like a reasonable handle, passing, and defensive effort.
with ingram, he doesnt have good size for the position he projects at, he is a subpar athlete so he cant compensate for the size issue. and then while he has some baseline skill level, its nowhere near the level it would have to be to make up for the first two issues. and then the last gasp of sticking around for any player, good outside shooting, isnt there either
We've gone from resting old ass Tim Duncan on a back to back to resting a 19 yo G leaguer in summer league. The Spurs have gotten ridiculous.
Someone else came up with the idea of resting the Spurs and then Pop kept doing it when he didn't know why. Then other teams did it to copy the Spurs culture.
Wanna see what good second round picks look like? Check out Barnhizer & Ajay Mitc when Okc plays. Spurs seriously need to change something in their org fast.
I'm not going to lose a moment's sleep over it... but you gotta admit load managing a 19 year old in Summer League is funny as
