Spurs sign Bryce Cotton to 2 year deal

[ChumpDumper]

Exact same thing that happened when we drafted Kyle Anderson. There is a reason he fell, there is a reason cotton wasnt drafted, hopefully those reasons are able to be fixed by SA, but yes, homers will be homers.

It's really difficult for you to make a post that doesn't mention Anderson or Splitter isn't it?

[Darkwaters]

Im guessing that Cotton and Marcus Denmon will both come into camp and fight for a spot behind Joseph. They might even add a third guard to the mix if neither looks strong at summer league. This contract locks up Cotton though and protects him from other teams poaching him. Denmon's contract is not a rush since Spurs own his draft rights.

[Mr. Body]

Not great quality but his vertical is impressive.

The Spurs blew two late 2nd rounders on a nobody like Dragubic or whatever instead of using one on this guy.

What difference would it have made? (serious question)

He has high energy, looks quick as and seems like a good shooter.

I feel Mills' injury basically makes his re-signing a given (he'll be cheaper). Spurs have proven they can hide shorter point guards on defense a bit, so I expect Cotton to get a good shot behind Joseph. Joseph really needs to learn how to shoot or his days may be numbered.

we still have this guy so what does it matter?

To me, it's comical, to read one two totally opposite opinions from the same person about the same subject matter.... flip-flop. interesting

Look, I know the Spurs have him -- but the Spurs could have had him. Know what I mean?

OK, now we can about the draft pick.

[stnick2261]

So why not to draft him late in the draft?

If there are 2 guys you like at the end of the draft, you use the draft pick on the one you want to stash and keep draft rights to... and try to sign the undrafted one

[BatManu20]

In before the (unwarranted) meltdown when Cotton signs elsewhere

Exactly. You can't really draft and stash an American player who is ready and wants to play in the NBA *now*. You draft the foreign guy to keep his rights locked up and try to sign the USA guy to an unguaranteed training camp contract.

Typical Spurs move. Under the radar and will probably work out just fine.

i'm getting tired of that expression ... the spurs could literally make ANY move at this point and people will call it a typical spurs move.

[Vic Petro]

Let's hope he's more Patty Mills than Jack McClinton.

[waisman]

Bonner retire .
make roster space .

[Mr. Body]

None, really. Just piecing through when the FO might have known about various injuries and guessing what they might do about resigning Mills.

[Darius McCrary]

My prediction he averages 10.5 2.5 and 1.0 off the bench with Mills out, EASILY.

[Prime Time]

This guy just looks like a Spurs-y dude. When you look at his face, it's easy to imagine a Spurs jersey underneath.

But I'll have to wait in the SL before I make a legit judgement. His college stats are sketchy to me due to him playing 40 minutes a game.

[Brazil]

spurs with the who ? goods per par

[poeticism707]

Even if Patty resigns,

could get serious burn at back up.

Nice insurance policy,

for a similar player.

[phxspurfan]

Even if Patty resigns,

I sure hope Patty doesn't resign. He would lose a lot of money.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Looks like a late first rounder to me. I don't get why he wasn't taken.

Seems to have a sick jumper off the dribble. Patty is probably a bit faster, but this dude looks like he might have a bit of court vision too.

[SilverSpur]

Eager to watch Bryce/Slowmo backcourt kill it in summer league!

That would be like watching the cartoon " Speedy Gonzalez and Slow Poke Rodriguez ". LOL

[jkid12456]

I think he is as fast as Patty and his dribbling/ball handle may be better than Patty.

ur a joke.

[Spurs9]

Well this is unexpected, time to youtube some videos of his.
