To be clear, a center who passes is not particularly nifty. Like obviously it's better than not being able to pass, and when it's mixed in with good scoring, it's really nice. But Renfro constantly getting assists and nothing else is far from impressive. He won't get the ball enough to pass a lot at higher levels, and if he's not a threat to score, he's going to have a hard time leveraging the defense into good passing opportunities anyway.
Yeah he is going to start having to show he is an offensive threat either through taking it to the whole or shooting the 3 ball in which case as long as his form doesn't look bad the misses won't be to bad.
There’s passing, and then there’s passing on the dribble. Renfro was 5’9” in HS, so he has a guard’s skill set and mentality, not unlike Boris Diaw.
Austin up by 23 end of 3rd quarter
So, I guess they just had to get rid of that last NBA 15 man roster player in RW II to start playing well. These last two games have been easy, and dominant.
If anyone else is watching, does it sound like Fab is broadcasting from his bathroom?
Nate once again leads team with 7 assists he did not play a lot of minutes as this was pretty much a blow out.
Is Mathis giving anyone Forbes/Mills vibes as far as his shooting?
Forbes, maybe, but not Mills. Nobody moves like Mills without the ball, or has that rattlesnake strike quick release.
Spurs also clinched a playoff spot with the win.

Yup. Playoffs, 10-4 so far, with one game remaining. Single elimination tournament of 8 teams.
Two handed dunk from just inside the FT line, very impressive.
I like Renfro's motor, defense and athleticism. But he doesn't really score much. I mean 4 pts today, the other day zero?
He has potential but he is going to need some coaching up I am just hoping he gets a two way contract for the Spurs. I think if he gets to spend some quite time with Chip after this season will see if he will put in the hard work to hit the 3 ball corner pocket.
He has a hard road ahead of him but like I said I love underdogs and his Character is definitely Spurs material so will see what happens.
Nate is a middle class man's JSimms no?
No. Other than hops, they’re very different players. Nate is a PF with crazy block and steal skills, and fantastic passing and court vision.
I haven't watched enough of the Austin Spurs to really know, or even the Warriors for that matter, but how does Renfro compare to Draymond in terms of skillset?
In that case, if the Pop could find a role for JSimms, one can only imagine the possibilities of Renfro with the big team.
His shooting needs work, but the potential is there to be like Draymond, minus the psychosis. A plus defender at the big position, who can also create offense with passing.
Draymond has a heavy-set. Renfro's strength hasn't been tested against stronger guy. Remains to be seen if he will get pushed back on his feet or if his core allows him to hold his position as well as Draymond does.
That makes sense from the measurements (Renfro 6'8" 205 lbs, Draymond 6'6" 230 lbs). Draymond is a 4, but would Renfro be a 4 also or can he possibly play the 3?
This is just me thinking out loud. Draymond has shown that he is excellent on defense and is at his best on offense when surrounded by shooters, but is so much of a non-threat himself as a shooter that it takes a special situation to get the most out of his abilities on that end. Renfro might be similar, and is the reason I brought up the possible comparison.
Renfro would be going up against opposing benches instead of starters, too, at least at first. A lineup like Mills/White/Vassell/Renfro/Samanic (lots of shooting) looks very intriguing on paper.
