All this Haislip hype is unbelievable. A new low has been reached.

Why?

All this Haislip hype is unbelievable. A new low has been reached.

Because I can see into the future.

Any recent Haislip scouting report from Solid D? Do you think he is worth the LLE?

I'm trying to find some game footage to give a non-YouTube scouting report.

I'm trying to find some game footage to give a non-YouTube scouting report.

I saw him play once this year and he is better than he was 3-4 years ago but I don't know if he would be able to defend the Scolas, Nowitzkis or even the Brandon Bass' of the NBA world. I would sign him to a make-good and see how he plays in camp/pre-season if I were RC.

I'll assume you don't agree with his 2-year, $4M contract then

Exactly.

[Bruno]

With the luxury tax, Haislip will cost $4M this year. Gist would have cost $900K.

Spurs FO should have really seen something to sign him for the LLE. I'm a little like Solid D and I'm quite perplexed. I didn't see him this year but two years ago, he was a great athlete and nothing more.

[timvp]

I'll reserve my final judgment until I watch a couple games in which he played. But knowing his history, looking at his stats and reading scouting reports -- the LLE for Haislip is extremely questionable. There seems to be development but not the massive amount of development needed to be worth that contract.

[HarlemHeat37]

What a strange off-season so far..

I'm thinking the Spurs might have seen something from him this year that caused them to give him an LLE contract. I don't see any other reason to do that, unless they were drunk when they offered the contract.

You people aren't giving Haislip's offensive prowess enough credit. He's a better player than Gist by far.

Thanks mogro..I esp. like those #'s against tau (24 pts and 5 rbs) cause its against a quality team. I think people are going to be suprised by this guy...

[holcs50]

Leave it to the FO to f up what was a great off-season. Unless they pull in dice this is a re ed move. WTF is going on , seriously, haislip? wow

[DPG21920]

I guess we will not know if he got the LLE for sure until he signs? I know it has been stated that he has, but is it exact?

[DynastyBuilder]

I think Haislip can fit in well with this team. He can be the energy guy that throws down with some power. If he's worked on his game like all the supporting material seems to suggest and he's not getting a boat load of cash then

All I know is Haislip mashed on Splitter at the end of this clip, and this thread is entirley too long.

[pad300]

As a comparison:

Haislip = Francisco Elson + Perimeter Jumper...

That's a player that could be useful. The question is, is Haislip's rebounding up to snuff for the NBA.

Splitter and that Bourousis dude he owned then.

Elson was athletic?

[pad300]

Elson was athletic?

He could run end to end pretty quick...

[mogrovejo]

Elson+strong hands+perimeter jumper+the ability to drive+pull up jumper+turnaround jumper from the high post (his signature move, he's very hard to stop when taking that shot)

It's basically Elson with offensive talent and less rebounding. Not a good comparison.

[Walton Buys Off Me]

Why on Earth is there 17 pages on Marcus Haislip?!

Dude will be wearing street clothes all year and this forum is all over his nuts like a Pakistani at a garage sale.

Best case= Haislip serves as Duncan's practice .

An athletic guy Duncan can call up at 3 a.m., meet at the practice facility and abuse for kicks.

These are the types of moves that make me scratch my head at our FO.

[bishopospurs]

He doesn't really remind me of Elson. He seems to be shades of Shawn Kemp.

[bishopospurs]

I should say young Kemp. I would say Big Baby is the old one on fatness alone, but that is mean and Big Baby is better than a Cavs Kemp.
