Nah but I am peeved at the double standard ... which fine everyone has their peeves...
Serious question, are you related to Kyle? ( not bsing).

I agree. Except for a couple of offensive flashes (flukes?) Dijon's main assets has been his length, quickness and bounce, which have manifested themselves in some very nice defensive plays and rebounds. I hope his SL experience has made him not just hungrier, but more self-aware. He is not a gem, and perhaps he now realizes that he has some flaws that need polishing before he can shine like one.
To be fair, Kyle has been very inconsistent his 3 yrs here. Still no shot. His defense has been more solid, I give him that.
Weren't people saying Jonathan Simmons was a waste of time? And look how far he has come. He was contributing more in the playoffs then LMA did, and LMA was suppose to be 1B on our roster. What is Danny Green doing out there to contribute to the offense nowadays? Not sure why people are hating on Forbes.
I'm thinking Spur fan is in one of two camps. Either they think any accomplishments from Forbes will delay the Crowning of Murray while the other camp of cynics are thinking we are trying to say Forbes is our answer at starting point guard.
Personally i'm just saying he seems to pass the eye test for what the FO brought him in for and that is shooting. No reason not to believe he couldn't be molded in the same way Patty Mills was.
Pop has also been very inconsistent in roles for him and his time in spots has fluctuated more than most. Still criticism is warranted. He's not flawless...
If he can't find a role on this years rosters with a bunch of square pegs trying to fit into circle holes..... he his lost.
Im curious as to what role you think Kyle will excel in? Still haven't seen him play a role I felt like he was worth consistent minutes on a good team.
Imo..Reason why youre not seeing people call out DJ or Bertans is bc they were rookies. And DJ actually showed really nice promise during his rookie yr, hes just struggling after 4 SL games
Forgot about this performance last year.
I actually line kyle at the backup 4 spot. Kind of like a Diaw type roll.
Can you imagine what would be written if he were playing bad.?
Give the kid a break. He was undrafted and working his way through summer league , D league, training camp and developing nicely.
This is how Devin Brown ,Gary Neal, Cory Joseph and Johnathan Simmons started, among others.
Can't wait for Manu to retire so Forbes gets more playing time

I mean, given our current roster... I hope he can play that roll. I dont think he is as skilled, confident, or athletic as Diaw.... even fat Diaw. But We don't have a lot of options at that spot so he will get a shot.
So everyone gets more playing time.
Inconsistent role has contributed to his inconsistent play - a lot for Pop to have thrown at, what, a 20-21 year old. This year will see him concentrate on being a 4. He either makes it or we move on. He has been a cheap minutes sop so far.
I think you view is too slanted and your emotion on this subject is to high to give rationale responses. You're hating to hate.
Nah but that's fine. I have long accepted the bias. KA barely played his first season was a very young dude. Had to learn to shoot and play a different position etc. Had a nice summer league his sop re season and the criticism and trolling was around then. By now I am very jaded ... and don't really mind guys schticks... you know shticks are regular here... so it's fine by me. But I will point things out occasionally.
This.
The posters that are criticizing him for dropping 70pts in 2 games are the same re s that bashed him in previous pages in this thread. They already gave their opinion of him and they don't wanna look like idiots. It's the reason Bertans literally receives ZERO criticism for being mostly awful so far, they were blowing that guy's pipes when he was in Europe and swore he was NBA ready.
Hating on an undrafted guy leading the SL in scoring and is on a minimum contract, just because they don't wanna be wrong
Watch the Warriors pick him up if the Spurs let him go.
How would that be different from patty.......?
Like the cave game?
Tony parker took YEARS...almost a decade...to have a decent jumper...it isn't even good to this day...just decent...and u want Murray to do that in one season? Lolol
The hate is big time ridiculous. So what if he doesn't pass the 'eye-test'? The guys is racking up a ton of numbers in 5 SL games. If he keeps this up, he'll be the MVP of the SL league.This.

Two seasons ago, they had Kyle Anderson play a ton of minutes in SL. Spurs are doing the same with Forbes and seeing the extent of his limits.
Kyle Anderson however had Simmons to help him win games. Forbes has nobody and still scoring!
NBA compe ion... did you see how he shot against two Mavs defenders?
He's playing the same game against SL compe ion and cannot be stopped! Actually, he's much better now going mid range and to the hoop. Once he masters Parker's tear drop, he's going to be ridiculous to shut down.
One game...vs the mavs...at the end of the season when games didnt matter for either team...he was really bad the entire rest of the season and playoffs...plus his skill set is the same as patty's, except worse
