Some Basic observation about Garino for the folks that missed his games.

[MaNu4Tres]

by stacked I think he's referring to quan y not quality.

I can confirm of this.

The problem that i have with JSimms is that he doesn´t seem to have been able to understand the team culture at all. While Anderson has all the tools to play a Ginobili role, but with Manu here he won´t be used much.
The only position up for the takes is the backup SF, and Garino and Bertans seems the ones going for it. Bertans is a play well or bust player and Garino seems more like a long term project.
But considering what the second unit will look like with Patty-Manu/Kyle-Garino/Bertans-Dedmon-Lee, that unit is clearly in more need of defense than scoring. And that´s why i think Garino will be over Kyle and JSimms if Bertans doesn´t shoot lights out.

I agree with you but Spurs need to know what they have in JSimms b4 he hits FA. I don't think you are way off thinking Garino could end up being better, but that is going to require J.Simms to suck and I just chose to not discard him as a factor yet.

Anderson, I will allow my own favoritism glasses. He has a role, he was already a rotation player. As a 3rd season player with continuity, Spurs will probably want to continue to push Anderson in a progression path along, not back.

Bertans and Murray are rookies, they might be on even footing with Garino (just different talents and roles), but they are probably on different development paths, with Murray being very raw and young--neeeding a lot of dleague-- and Bertans just maybe needing a period of adjustment, but probably not much to develop as he's already a fairly developed player. Garino may need the dleague to make improvements in his own game and that is not humiliating.

He's already got a better shot and way way better defender than Daye.
