Opinions of Nando

[benefactor]

It was logical to assume a lot of things this offseason or last postseason. . .and plenty of it didn't happen.

There's a few things that point to De Colo being used before Joseph.

2013 stats (including playoffs):

De Colo: 934 minutes played
Joseph: 580 minutes played

Amount of continental US-born players on Spurs team not including Joseph right now: 1 (Leonard)

It's reasonable to assume Nando has pretty good chances of getting the first shot again. At worst they will be battling for it, and based on last season they were leaning towards Nando.

first shot
barely a DLeague level player

Confusing my calling those assholes on their overbearing arrogance as my seeking their respect
Fat, inbred hick logic

Cojo was pathetic in that game against Moscow. Nando wasn't great, but he's better than that scrubby Cojo.

3:45. Pop is asked about the #2 PG spot. He says CoJo is the in bent and that Mills has come in dedicated and is competing hard. Bellinelli's work at the 1 in Chicago is also mentioned. There is no comment about DeColo whatsoever.

I would not be shocked if they just released DeColo at some point. He seems the type that gives millennials a bad name.

he sucks. thats all.

The is your point, dip ? I said Nando sucked, just that I was worried Popovich would continue to play the ty De Colo because of his love for internationals. You're crying about my saying Pop will give him a chance to battle for the backup PG spot as a ty take somehow because De Colo sucks, as if I thought he was good in the first place?

Direct quote of my first post in this thread:

I think he's a terrible option going forward because he's too old to be considered a prospect and too raw to expect enough improvement in a fast enough time to make much use out of him.

So you're literally claiming my take of saying De Colo sucks is ty because. . . De Colo sucks.

You look mad desperate to find I was wrong about if you're straw grasping at this . Almost every take you have that isn't just pointing out the obvious turns out to be wrong. It just makes you look like a fool when you try to talk about other people's takes. I can already see other posters ting on you for doing it since your takes are horrible.

Time to find a new passtime there champ.

[exstatic]

He may be the worst Euro they've ever actually brought over and signed.

[Sean Cagney]

he sucks. thats all.

Period end of story. Play Nando can talk all that irrelevant bull all he wants to day and night but at the end of the day he still sucks in SUMMER league for Gods sakes.

[wildcardX]

Anyone know why Nando got signed before Bertans and Hanga? Was he older and needed to be signed now? Is he better than the other two, and they don't really have a shot at coming to the Spurs?

Who could we trade the Mavs for Nando

[ElNono]

I'm sure Nando is a good guy, but I'm not sure he's a good fit. The Spurs keep trying to peg shooting guards into the backup PG slot (Mills, Neal, Nando, even Manu). I think it has to do with trying to keep a scoring-first PG behind Tony, but it hasn't worked.

The backup PG spot has been an issue for the longest time. TJ Ford was probably the only decent player we temporarily had plugging that hole, but since he retired, we've been having trouble filling that role again.

Nando is in some fantasy that because he's French, he's the next Tony Parker in Silver & Black. But in reality, Nando's contribution to the team this year will be pretty much the same as an average spurstalk poster, and will be far less than timvp's contribution.

[Johnny RIngo]

After Nando was drafted, I remember watching a few French NT games and Euro matches and decided he sucked. I thought, "Oh well, at least they didn't waste a first rounder on him". Fast-forward a couple years and the Spurs actually decide to bring him over. That's when I really started worrying about the team. How the does a professional organization like the Spurs look at Nando and decide he's NBA ready? Anybody that's watched him in Europe could tell you he has no business being in an NBA uniform.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

i believe in nando, i wouldn't want to see the spurs move him. but he seems to be the trade speculation target of the season. burke is down 6-8 weeks. and utah is supposedly looking for a ball handler.
