Good signing by the Spurs going into the summer. He has beasted with the Toros and looked pretty good in his time with Washington. He could wind up a pleasant surprise as a cheap role player next year.
I like Gee a lot... more so than hairston IMO. He needs to get better on the defensive side of the ball though.
never seen him play
Gee could be a piece in the rotation for us next season IMO. This guy keeps getting better and better. Spurs need to pick up the option on this guy.
Loved this signing. Went and watched him in Austin couple tomes. Athleticism is crazy off the charts. Great scorer defense is mediocre but hustles. Seems to have a bit of on court leadership to him. The night I was there so was RC Buford and quite a few plays literally made him say wow and at the end said and I quote "I love this kid's game"
It'd be awesome to have Gee and Hairston in the rotation, but it sounds like one will be cut or sent to the D-League. What's with O vs. D this offseason??? Hairston and Gee, Temple and Colo, can't we all just get along?
Can't have all rookie swingmen. Have to have a proven veteran out there that's reliable.
What are Manu, TP, Hill, and RJ, chopped liver? And I do realize not all 4 of those guys wil make it, I doubt Pop will even give 3 of them a chance, considering Splitter will also be new to the system. That might give Hairston and Temple an edge, since they've played a handful of NBA minutes.
Love him Temple and Hairston. Really think 2 of them will break through Pop's stubborn barrier and contribute next year in a big way.
It will be interesting to see what happens if it becomes a choice between Gee and Hairston. Gee is much better overall offensively, but has yet to show any chops on defense. Hairston needs to develop something resembling handles if he is going to stick in the NBA.
I'd take gee. He's athletic enough that if taught defens he'd be decent. Offense IMO I harder to get and learn than defense
he can definitely score. I really hope we pick up his option.
I could post this in any number of threads, but I'll use this one. I don't have a problem with bringing Gee back. Or Hairston. Or Temple. Or even Jerrells. Or even Mahinmi. However, I do have a problem with a roster that includes all of those guys because if a third of your roster is made up of d-leaguers, then you don't have a very good roster. At least two of those guys have got to go and need to be replaced with veterans.
Well on paper thats true. But every situation is different. All 5 of those guys are very young and with hard work they can still make something of their nba career and become potential contributors in the future. They arent necessarily just dleaguers players with dleaguer potential.
To go on CG's post, all 5 are fine individually, but keeping all 5 seems like a bad option. My semi-realistic dream would be based around Splitter 80% MLE, De Colo(20%), Bell(BAE), Draft George, S&T Mason with 49 to Minny for Sessions, and then possibly a Jefferson trade if his EC gets us something good.
Splitter/Blair
TD/Dyess
RJ/George/Bell
Hill/Manu
Parker/Sessions/De Colo
Doesn't leave room for all 5.
Who in there right mind would want Mason even at the minimum? Let alone in a S&T?
That one wouldn't even fly in a fantasy league.
I'm sorry, but that's just stupid.
I think Hairston really needs to worry about his spot because of Gee. If AGee shows any three point ability on the NBA level, he may take Malik's spot.
I'm also quite tired of opposing guards and wings posting up our guys and being successful in either scoring or forcing a defensive rotation. Gee, as a former college PF, kind of solves that. Even NBA players might have a time moving him backwards into the paint.
I think Gee already has shown a three point ability at the NBA level -- as much as he could anyway. I do agree Gee might put Hairston on the bubble. Malik's only real advantage at this point is that Gee doesn't play good defense, but even that looked like it was changing at the end of the D-League season.
Neither of them will be on the bubble.
Like it was at the end of this year.
There will be a spot for both on the roster. IMO
Depends on what else happens in the offseason. I can see both being retained or neither. A Jefferson-for-multiple-guaranteed-contracts trade could boot them both, for example.
I'm a fan of both, so I hope they're both retained..I'm a big fan of athletic wing players that like to get to the basket and show strength..obviously it depends on an RJ trade, the draft, the potential signings of other vets, and the fact that neither guy might play well enough to earn it in SL and preseason..
Hairston's roadblock is that his ball-handling still severely limits him..obviously that should be his main priority to work on in the Summer..he isn't going to advance at all without improving those skills, so we'll see what happens..
I feel like he can be a legit rotation player if he improves that, but unfortunately, ball-handling is a lot more difficult to develop than most other aspects IMO..
Chump, did you see any improvement in his ball-handling from year 1 to year 2 in D-League, or was it mostly the same?..
