2020 Spurs Training Camp Thread (New Player Measurements Released!)

[GAustex]

What about turnovers committed?

[Maddog]

I wonder if Derozz will end up signing a new contract with us?

Liked Drew interview always rooting for the underdog hopefully his hard work will show on the court one thing that caught me by surprise is he didn’t start playing basketball until he was 14 years old I found that to be pretty crazy.

Hmm,
Will turn 24 in Feb
Looks fairly athletic, I like the effort and at ude
I'm rooting for him.

Duncan didn't start playing basketball until 14 either iirc.

Well that's a bit unfair

put no stock in the position listings tbh, probably just thrown together by some intern. same thing happens when early depth charts are released during the NFL training camp.

but its pretty nice to see a roster where we only have 1 guy shorter than 6'3

[SAGirl]

Why the has Dejounte been crying?? What the is going on here lmao

When he turns his side, you'll see it. He has tears running down.

DJ took DeMar's place for the interviews today. Is DeMar being traded??

Watch the video guys, and you'll see it.

I didn’t see the tears. I thought it was a good interview for him. He usually says the right things and it’s good to see he’s enthusiastic about the season. I also liked that he seems honest, unrehearsed. The problem usually with him is not translating that to the court but I did notice from him in this interview no talk about being the PG or wanting to be the leader. It gives me hope he’s focusing on fitting in and finding his new role (as well as improving individually which I’d expect from everyone)
Thanks for sharing

[SAGirl]

Either I have a poor Wi-Fi connection, or this crying concern is completely ridiculous. Having just watched that montage of interview clips, if anything, I am slightly higher on him now than before. He seems like he’s really trying to be a leader. Is it slightly awkward? Perhaps. Someone on the team needs to take a leadership role.

Regardless, those are just little details. To me, the real take away from this whole interview is that Pop loosened his grip, which is something he has needed to do throughout the years for the team to improve, such as when he finally let Manu be Manu, the team did a of a lot better. Obviously no Manu on this team, but I think this team will actually be pretty exciting this year if Pop continues to let them have some amount of freedom.

I did notice the remark about Poo. Let’s see if that translates for the longer season.

[SAGirl]

Its definitely encouraging that he framed things this way regardless of the business side of the decision

The injuries won't stop

Since college, it’s a big concern with him. Even in summer league he landed awkwardly, and had to leave the game. Then his knee meniscus tear rookie year. It’s concerning/

The injuries won't stop

At least it's nothing major... Hope he gets better in time to have at least a couple practices with the team. That could really affect his playing time/role moving forward at the beginning of the season.

Yeah I am always worried about his knee blowing out just the way he plays and the way he kick his foot out when shooting.

[EasyMoney]

Vassell might around and start day 1 haha

[Dex]

Can't believe first preseason game is in 4 days.

[Dejounte]

[Sugus]

The most surprising thing about all those quotes is Mills not being interested in a coaching career post-retirement. Sure looks like a trade deadline candidate then, since I doubt he'll want to take too much of a backseat for these last years he has of NBA-level play... Hope he balls out and nets us a pick or two.

Also, Lonnie at least doing individual work is encouraging. Hope he's ready for the first preseason game. Thanks for the updates Dejounte! Btw, I'll get to you soon on those messages, time's been sparse.

[Dex]

Thanks Dejounte for keeping the updates poppin'

[BackHome]

Yeah I thought the same thing he is going to want to get paid and get playing time which he probably won’t get with us if we sign him to a new contract.

[Dejounte]

[Dejounte]

Pop looks like he's playing God in a new Bruce Almighty sequel

[Truth4sale$]

Anybody know why the Spurs did not go the max allowable roster count of twenty? With injuries and a compressed season, might be good to have extra bodies for rest or at least assigned to the Gleague.
