The next under the radar move

[xmas1997]

McRoberts is not a banger. He can jump. Can shoot from range quite well. Really good ballhandler for a guy his size/position. He has the audacity and capability to throw behind the back passes. Actually, one of the few things he doesn't have a decent skill set in is "banging"..

Frye is a far superior shooter and better post defender. I would be happy to add either to the Spurs roster. I'm not sure Frye makes a lot of sense with as Frye/Duncan and Frye/Splitter is a bit big and immobile and Frye/Diaw is not ideal rebounding wise.

Thanks for the astute observation.

He's still most at home from the free throw line extended inward to the hoop. I should have been more concise with the language I was using. He can extend to 3 point range but he excels in moving without the ball and catching oops and getting putbacks. The Bobcats seem to like using him out of the high post a lot because of his vision, but I'm not sure that's where the best spot for him is.

My concern with Frye at any point is the fact that he's only 245. That's mighty light for a 6'11" guy. He might be a good and versatile defender but I think against someone like Houston he could get swallowed up.

Also not sure I agree with the "far superior" shooter statement. They both shot around 43% from the field (slight edge to McRoberts) and Frye was just .9% ahead of McRoberts in 3 point %. He did take quite a few more though, so it would be accurate to say that he's better at stretching the defense, but both have good range for big men. I think McRoberts is superior in his off-ball movement and that would likely be an asset in the multi-passing offense the Spurs have.
