Shooting Be Damned: Spurs Add Juan Nunez, Harrison Ingram

[onechance87]

A few game stretch is a fluke, N entire season?


His no ceilings interview where he breaks down film shows otherwise but whatever.

branham shot over 40 percent in 3s in college in a entire season....Hasint came close to that so far in the nba.

The Spurs not prioritizing shooting tells us they don't believe the team is ready to go into win-now mode, and that the 2025 tank is on.

Shooting is the perfect characteristic to de-prioritize because it forces all the players to work on it while developing, and it severely limits regular season wins.

Contrast this with a team with great shooters but no defense/rebounding/ball movement. They would rack up a bunch of flukey regular season wins and get exposed in the playoffs.

Or if one wants a hopeful spin on it: maybe shooting will be addressed through free agency or trades and we'll still go into win-now mode.

Pop come training camp:

"Okay Victor, we're gonna keep you spotted up in the corners so you can work on your threes, and Nunez is going to be the starting center."

I'm sorry. I thought you asked the question, and assumed it meant you wanted to discuss it. Should have known you just wanted to argue and not listen. I don't know why you bother to post. Just speak into the mirror, bro.

Nunez does not finish with layups but with dunks. That is not a downgrade in athleticism at PG compared to Tre. I get it, he is not twitchy and/or lacks foot speed, therefore I am wrong. EXCEPT, the play here is parking Nunez and then see what it would take to reup Tre. The reality is Nunez could be a fine and much cheaper backup PG on a perfect timeline for us.

As far as Harrison, he shoots 39% from 3PT. Otherwise he probably barely shoots, so that is what we are most concerned with to start. 9 RPG from a wing is HUGE in college. When you consider that Branham and Cissoko are his compe ion for minutes, I don't mind this pick at all and in fact had him on my radar given his size, 3 PT%, and RPG. Too many times, we were outrebounded.

Forget about this guy, he is not NBA caliber
