Spurs to sign Malcolm Thomas

[monkeypunk]

I am quite excited about this signing, especially considering his friendship with Leonard.

Anyone think that a partial reason for the signing is that PATFO hopes to inspire Leonard by having his college teammate playing with him?

In addition, it might light a fire under Leonard to play better, and it will certainly give him someone to practice and work out with.

i saw leonard get blocked so nasty by wes johnson. leonard does look mortal this year. i chalk it up to his name being a bigger part of scouting reports.

Oh lol

Cool!

This will be a wait and see how he performs type situation. I like that he was a teammate of Leonard's.
And I really like it if he has a reliable 3pt shot because defensively he is a stud.
This seems win win to me, and especially so now that Diaw is ailing.
Hope Pop plays him enough to get him involved.
Now that he is signed for sure I wonder if the Spurs plan on moving another player to open up that 15th spot again?

Interesting to see if the 3 point range translates to a midrange jumper as well.

He has the body mass of a two-guard. I hope he has decent footspeed on the perimeter.

I live in San Diego, and got A opportunity to watch a lot of The SDSU Aztecs games with Leonard, and Thomas on the team. Thomas Is A good defender, who is athletic enough to guard some 3's, definitely 4's and 5's. He is a above average shot blocker, and can protect the rim.

His down side has always been his offense, I hope his offense has improved enough to where he is not A Liabilty on that end.

Go Aztecs!! My hometown College Reppin my favorite NBA Team.... Love it..

I saw some of his games when he went to Crawford, its surprising that he's the one who made it while Tyrone S ey is out of basketball now.

So seeing as he has been officially called up and signed, does this means Baynes will be in the D-league for a while...or are we going to "Dejuan Blair" Jeff Ayres?

Baynes and DeColo were both sent down only for one game in Austin. They've been back for a couple of days.

I hope Jeff Ayres isn't willing to admit that Danny Green is better or Manu so they'll fire his ass.

I know. I was referring to them putting him back.

San Antonio Spurs Hope Malcolm Thomas is Another Diamond in the Rough

And while no one can conclude that Thomas has turned the corner based on two games, it sure sounded like the Spurs considered his newfound range in their decision to call him up when general manager R.C. Buford discussed it in Mexico City on Wednesday: “The early indications are that he’s expanded his skill set and was really shooting the three-ball well,” Buford said. “That has always been a valuable commodity in our system.”

Buford added that the San Antonio brass initially made the move because they were concerned that Diaw’s hand injury would keep him out for longer than it did. Now, they just view it as “an opportunity to see what Malcolm can do.”

no sherlock
reliable 3 pt shooting ? uh there is not yet any evidence he became a reliable 3 pt shooter
Diaw ailing ? he put a 7-9 performance, 2 reb, 3 assists and one block at his return of injury, wtf is he ailing ?

if not mistaken it has been a while since the last approved new account tbh

[TheGoldStandard]

I doubt we see anything this weekend with the Pacers in town unless Pop is trolling, wonder if we'll see lots of Ayres.

Pop will get ejected early on in the game and let Boylen and Ayres take over.

How long until he develops a cult following on SpursTalk like the many end of bench players before him, tbh?..

And from there how long until Dallas fans here are calling him the savior? lol

I wish Spurs.com would fix its audio situation. I've never once heard good audio on our internet content.
