I know a lot more about his hair, tattoo, personal chef, architecture degree, and Aston Martin then how he is as a player. That's always a good sign.
Things Roger Mason can do better than last years starting 2 guard!
1) Defense
2) 3pt Shooting
3) Ovr Field Goal %
4) getting to the FT line
5) FT %
6) Midrange Shot
7) Can shoot off dribble ( not the one dribble move Finley pulled)
8) Scoring( scored 20pts or more 6 times, including 2 games over 30)
9) Ball handling
10) at being our starting 2 guard
so uh if u really want to about the spurs offseason....just imagine MICHAEL FINLEY as our starting shooting guard for another year....
Roger Mason is the greatest player of all times.
better than finley or brent in barry
Can someone describe this guy as a defender to me in more detail? I've seen very little of him, but I realize that prior to 2007-8, he made team's rosters mostly on his defensive ability.
Based on his size, I'm assuming he primarily defends 1's and 2's, although there are some 3's he could match. Does he have a long reach? Is he a disrupter, or is he more of a position defender? Does he have stopper capability, or is he just a solid defender a la Udoka?
Thanks in advance.
I guess he's a good defender? He doesn't do much other than shoot. No rebounds, no assists, no steals, no blocks.
G.O.A.T. >>> finley
He is not a stat stuffer, but no one we could of realistically gotten for this money would have been. Like I said he is a plug to a leak, not a complete repair. He allows us to not slide backwards and to just maintain. He does not catapult us forward, but keeps us from tumbling backwards.
I never even heard of this dude before we signed him...
You are not taking into consideration the learning curve...Finley knows the system and is comfortable, that puts him up a little more and will drop Mason. Hopefully Mason can just do exactly what Finley did for us offensively and up the defense a little.
Not to offend you but, if you followed the NBA as an average fan you would.
True...but some people are just Spurs fans, not basketball fans. That in not a knock, but that is the general public, same goes for every team and their fans.
Although I'm not much more than a spurfan, I can't help but feel a little weird seeing this. I have never seen this guy play, nor heard his name more than a couple times.
I doubt the "average fan" has heard much about this guy, either.
There is no ESPN news of us signing RMJr. Just some WP link.
It's been all day..
$7.4M = little bit less than $8M?SAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio Spurs and unrestricted free agent Roger Mason have agreed to terms on a two-year deal worth more than $7 million, Mason's agent said Thursday.
"We've got a deal done," Mark Bartelstein told The Associated Press by phone.
Mason, a 6-foot-5 guard, averaged a career-high 9.1 points and 1.7 assists in 80 games last season with the Washington Wizards. He played in a reserve role for all but nine games. In his previous season with the Wizards, Mason averaged 2.7 points.
Bartelstein said the deal would pay Mason "just a little less than" $8 million. He said he expected Mason, 27, to sign with the team on Friday.
Spurs spokesman Cliff Puchalski said the team had no comment.
Mason averaged eight points and one assist in the playoffs.
Or is the actual offer more than what we've seen reported?
Hopefully 600K is a little bit to his agent. Any more would just be adding fuel to the contract fire.
I like him.He can shoot. Better have any movement than none.
Finley = no defense, no rebounding, no assists, no steals and no blocks.
But Roger Mason doesn't have as talent as Michael Finley had.Now Finley is old so Mason could be better to play 82 games but if we were in the last seconds of one playoff game then I would put Finley before Mason.Finley is old but he still can shoot like he did in Game1 against the suns.Yes Finley is old but Mason never will be an All Star.If he is starter maybe we will have one of the worst starter at SG of the NBA.
That's why Kori had to post up little facts about him.
The average fan shouldn't be able to know whether or not a player can play piano.
Our system is not complicated.....he will pick it up over the first few weeks of the season.....He will be a better addition than other FA we have attained in the past because he can get to the hoop and isnt just a jump shooter
Hmm. I guess I'm not an average fan then. I wouldn't figure the average fan would have recall of the name of every player on every team. I'm sure I'd seen him play, and his face looked familiar when I saw his picture, but I didn't know the name or who he played for the first time I heard it.
How long would it take Mason to miss rotations, block out his own players and sag away from his man allowing open three pointers? , if you teach Mason to shoot a thousand of those 18 foot elbow jumpers before each game and you have his clone as long as he misses enough of them in the actual games.
You knew he played piano in a band?
