Any thoughts or observations on Granger? I'm very anxious to see him play.
Thanks.
The Spurs were in a 2-3 matchup zone there at the end and they were doubling the ball at the top (Saras) with Manu and Sanders. The Spurs aren't moving quickly enough when Saras feeds it over the top to the roll man down the lane. Right in the seam of the zone.

You are not alone... JB was a number 5 pick... he has had horrible injury problems over the last 6 years... he only played 15 games last year... but the kid is the truth... if he stays healthy... look out!
Granger is a serious hustle player... he is a beast in the paint on D... especially for a guy his size... but he took a nice charge from Ginobili... since when do rookies take chargesbut he is gonna be a great player one day... he is displaying enormous potential.
Granger has a decent build for a rookie SF and he's got some quick feet. He likes to take it to the hoop, but he's not converting every time.
Jonathan Bender has been impressive but that's against Nazr and Marks, not the quickest afoot for the Spurs.

He is gonna see a lot of minutes... more than you would expect from a 2nd unit rookie... our staff loves him... Artest is calling him a future all-star... he says Granger is the only guy he would give his starting spot up for...
