so.. what do you think about Dairis Bertans? i didint see the game ;(
Nah it's not that. Lalanne has even longer arms; his wingspan is 7'5". He also weighs a little more than LJC (240 vs. 230).
I honestly think LJC is just flat-out taller. DX has Lalanne listed at 6'8.25" without shoes...wouldn't surprise me if LJC is taller than that. He looked like it out there yesterday.

Hands down the best player on the court.
He looked great. Nice shooting, good court awareness.
My opinion is that he is much more better than his younger brother.. he can surprise lot of people...
Think he can make the Big team?
I'm hoping. Spurs need a shooter. Some on here think it is a possibility, a few others feels he is athletically limited. I would expect he'll get a training camp invite. Then we'll have to see.
I think he has eight or more games left to show he can do it consistently. This is the longest summer-league season I can remember the Spurs having. If anyone is consistently good for this stretch, I think we'll see them in an NBA camp. Bertan's key to making a roster seems to be being able to defend bigger players. If he can guard two-guards, I think he will be able to do at least what Neal has done.
The Spurs have an opening for someone who can make 3's and run point. The team had an interest in Jeremy Lin.
However, he's a rookie and the likelihood of the Spurs trusting a rookie to run point is next to zero.
Hmm.. rookie With great experience in the europe's best league.. rookie with lot of games in National Team.. I think he is more than rookie
So Latvia is getting more representation on ST.
Bill has company.
Paldies
More Game Threads next year with Riga time in the le.
He is a rookie from the point of view of the NBA game. Spurs will not risk championship lay wit a rookie point guard... just does not happen. He's good and I like his fearlessness, but I just don't see him running the Spurs offense.
Is Dairis under contract, overseas?
So said Bruno . But the buyout is small enough.
He sure can pass the ball like a point guard from what I've seen...But do ya'll really think he'd be more of a defensive liability at the 2 than Neal or Belinelli?
Is Dairis Bertans someone who can play as a Point Guard
or is he a SG ?
Umm Tony Parker 😄
If he makes the team at times he'll be asked to do both.
Bruno says he is. But it is relatively trivial to buy him out.
Dairis played for Bilbao Basket last season in the spanisch league ACB
Well Dairis Bertans is interesting, I thought he was a courtesy invite since SA has the rights to his younger brother Davis but he did play well yesterday. I also thought it was curious that an earlier poster who claims to be from Latvia says he (Dairis) is the better player.
It would be interesting if Dairis was brought in on a partially guaranteed contract and then cut to make room for Davis later in the year when Davis is healthy.
Regarding Livio, during the first half of the game, I was thinking Livio may mean brick in French but I did like what I saw on the defensive end.
He was playing both yesterday.
I think he might be the Spurs Gary Neal of this Summer League. He is quicker than Neal, a better ball handler than Neal, a better passer than Neal, and from what I saw yesterday, a better defender than Neal. He reminded me a lot of Mills with his scrappy play and quick/no hesitation release. He already has a great shooting form so Chip wouldn't have to totally revamp it like Kawhi and Anderson.
I was thinking the Spurs needed some depth at the guard position and he would be perfect. He is 6'4 1/2 w/o shoes. The guy shot 43% last year for Boston from 3 and 66% overall in last year's summer league. So it appears that his shooting performance last night was no fluke.
Spurs need to fill their roster with Minimums right now. He would be a perfect fit. He can hit the corner 3, hit 3's off of screens and PnR. He can pass very well (a must in the Spurs system). He looks like the perfect candidate to replace Beli IMO.
But his defense is better than the defense of Belinelli ?
