Sign this guy already damn it.
DJG averaged over 7 rebounds per game. Rebounding is actually one of his strengths. We have 2 open roster spots. They can sign him and still add a front court player for the other spot.
Sign this guy already damn it.
This dude can ball
SL is about developing talent across the spectrum. That includes coaches and refs.
Honestly, cant do much better for an end of the bench guy that can score in a pinch tbh. Should sign him already.
Inspired by late father, David Jones-Garcia making strong bid for deal with Spurs
LAS VEGAS – David Jones-Garcia describes his late father as "just a regular worker, a hustler from the neighborhood we are from."
"He could do a little bit of everything," Jones-Garcia said of his namesake.
"Everything" included introducing his son to basketball in Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic.

"He used to play in the neighborhood just for fun," Jones-Garcia, 23, said. "When I was 6 years old, he took me to a court for the first time. I shot the ball, and ever since then, basketball has been my thing."
Inspired by his dad's memory, the 6-foot-5, 210-pound forward is making the most of a Summer League audition with the Spurs for a two-way contract.
"He is a phenomenal player," Spurs Summer League coach Mike Noyes said. "He belongs on an NBA court."
David Apolinar Jones died of a heart ailment on Feb. 3, 2023 while his son was playing college ball as a junior at St. John's in New York.
To honor his father, Jones-Garcia got a pair of tattoos on the inside of his right forearm emblazoned with "David" and "El Varon," which translates in English to "The Man," and the dates of his birth and death.

Ive seen enough, Gary Neal Mk 2. Sign him.
Even though I was more in the "give Minix and a big (maybe Bassey) the last two spots" camp I'm moving over to the "can't risk to lose an opportunity here so give him a contract" bandwagon.
(but give Minix his as well)
I get the sense that he's going to sign elsewhere, on a guaranteed (for next season; partial thereafter) multi-year contract.
Not that anyone is handing him the "keys" off the bench on the count of this, but there's too much current and long term shot creation ahead of him here in the back court and with a certain starting C, to see an eventual path to a rotation spot, which is obviously what him and his agent(s) will be seeking.
I'd be shocked if the Spurs didn't sign him.
Spurs: "We love him. He's a a phenomenal player."
Fans: "So you'll sign him now, right? You have empty roster spots and plenty of money under the tax."
Spurs: "No."
We're just one of 30 at this point.
But we do have the post position.
Drop Jordan give it to this guy
Already better than Branham and Wesley ever were.
If I'm David Jones-Garcia I don't know that the Spurs would be one of my top choices. That, of course, assumes he has multiple offers. But the path forward in San Antonio is murky considering the players already ahead of him.
He might already have a tantalizing offer from San Antonio ready to sign but he's waiting to see if other options appear. Hard to say. But it takes two to tango.
Speaking of Gary Neal, one of the biggest differences with that case and DJG is Neal had a clear path to minutes immediately. Neal signed and played 21 MPG over 80 games that next season. DJG would not remotely be in the same boat.
With how much NBA teams rest players these days, there will be opportunity. Sign him, the team would be so deep with almost all players able to contribute.

This guy is better than vassel and castle(atleast offensively).
Yes, the guy who has never played a second of NBA basketball is better than a multi year veteran and the ROY.
Im pretty sure he’s better than vassel.
I would like to think the Spurs have at least offered a two way or even a standard contract but I agree with this statement. Even if offered, he is likely holding out to see if a team with a better push towards playing time makes an offer.
If summer league games count for something, last 2 roster spots should go to David Jones Garcia and Minix.
The first one because, apart for some turnovers (easy to understand considering he's a point forward playng quite all m inutes as our point guard), he looks to have the total package for the back court, expecially as a reserve...he can rebound, defend and create his own shot but is also a good spot up shooter and in both cases also from the 3 point, plus his passing is very good....
On the other end Minix is the exact big men we lack on our roster aka a real power forward )looks like he can rebound) with an outside (from 3 too) shot...
Frankly at this point I dont think that free agency or trades can offer something better than these two guys...
For the two way contract apart Ingram imho Dexter and Osifo have good chances given their 3 point shot ant athletic skills...
Spurs have enough spots for Bassey, Garcia, Minix, Ingram. Latter two get two way contracts.
