Argentine Patricio Garino signs with the Spurs per Woj

[SpurPadre]

Intriguing pickup. I'm still waiting for Manu's endorsement, though, tbh.

Does this guy replace fathead as a 3? Still don't know about him.

He's not playing against Croatia right now. He flew to San Antonio for the physical and to sign his contract.

What's your take on him, mi amigo?

Excuses, any USA team of any era should beat a couple of Argies, they lost twice and 2004 was far away from 9/11, Marion Iverson Wade Lebron Amare Duncan Jefferson Carmelo thats enough to monkeyball any ty NT and make them eat crap.

All rookies.


And Amaré was an extremely raw sop re at that point.


y was already injured goods by that point and Marion was a utility player at best, couldn't shoot nor score 1-on-1.


Try again.

Sorry. But who?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

That team with those guys and TD and with AI would have crushed any team that year had they all played, period.

yeah, Lebron/Melo/Wade were all way way wayyyyyyy too young and raw to compete against anybody experienced, even the likes of Puerto Rico.

He's a very solid 1 on 1 defender, as it has already been said. His stroke is good, but slow release, probably something that can be fixed by Chip. His driving game isn't anything to write home about. He does play hard all the time. He's still raw for the NBA level, but can be basically another Danny Green in a lot ways. Don't be looking for special talent like Gino, but more of a commodity type of player.

Thanks, overlooked that post. Nothing wrong with another LDN.

Thats BS, as I said before MJ and his teammates were 21 years old and won the 1984 Olympics, now according to you they were baby pigeons and couldnt even monkeyball properly at the most athletic time of their lives.

Wow that Argie squad was so much better...

Parker was vouching for him, thats why Garino is a Spur.

He must have a hot wife, then.

According to the Argentina Confederation site, Garino's contract details are unknown at this time, but what is known is that he will participate in the Spurs' training camp and will play for the Spurs D-League affiliate while trying to earn minutes with the main team.

Makes it seem like he will be part of the roster after all. Just not in the beggining of the season.

Interesting skillset....good one-on-one defender!

Cool!

Fairly typical Spurs modus operandi, send him to Austin and see if he can excel there for a call up. That way they don't have to lock a roster spot for him early.

He's 23... while young, he's also not that young.

Lol, maybe a hot mom...

Very good defensive instincts, watch this guys:

A lot of Austin's recent assigned players have gotten NBA contracts, even if not with the Spurs: J.Eddie, B.Cotton, Simmons (of course!), J.Green, even Orlando Johnson. And Spurs have assigned a lot of young players that have developed successfully too. So he is in a good spot even if the call up doesn't come from the Spurs.

Should be interesting. Camp should help him gain chemistry with Dijon, LJC and everyone else.
