    Drew Gooden Pouring In Points
    by Bill Schoening | April 9, 2009

    Spurs newcomer Drew Gooden is seeing an increase in his workload and in his production, and it's becoming clear that his contribution to the Spurs' frontcourt will be of paramount importance as the Spurs head into the postseason.

    "It's important for us to get him some quality minutes right now with the other guys on the floor" says assistant coach Don Newman, who spends a lot of time with the Spurs big men.

    Gooden can help the Spurs second unit with his low post defense and rebounding and his ability to score in the paint and on the baseline. It may be a good sign that some of Gooden's best offensive performances came during the Spurs recent three-game road trip when he scored 17 points at Indy, 15 points at Cleveland and 20 points in Oklahoma City.

    His scoring is much needed, but it'd be nice if he didn't have the mind of a slow fifth grader. When he's playing off the ball D it looks like he's trying to do complex equations in his head.

    He had a whopping 1 rebound more than a dead guy the other day.

    Pathetic.

    Add players who come to the Spurs get that "Deer in the headlights" look on defense. Gooden seems to be loosening up a bit on this, but I still expect him to just try and stay with his matchup for this season. Stay in front of the basket and continue to help the offensive droughts is all a really expect. Oh, and give up the ball if pressured.

    The with off-the bench points. Start him, play him more minutes. Bring Thomas for relief. Have Bonner ready with his Gatorade as he comes to rest.
    Do it Pop! Plan A is not working. Quite being a stubborn old fart!!

    Gooden had that driving and-one dunk the other night so therefore EricB hates him.

    But can Drew Gooden make up for the loss of Manu's scoring?

    I'd play this lineup.

    Bowen SF
    Gooden PF
    Duncan C
    Bonner SG
    Parker PG

    Hill backs up Parker
    Thomas backs up Gooden
    Oberto backs up Duncan
    Finley backs up Bonner.
