Thomas didn't even play, dumb
Kawhi - Looks primed and comfortable offensively. Still need to be a little bit more aggressive. Scored 7 of his points from his steals 16 in 20 minutes could be misleading... Defense was not all time great material, but he's kawhi. A-
LMA - The spurs didn't really do much to give him the spacing people assumed he would get in spurs system. He looks fat and couldn't score in post ups. Defensively, he can obviously move and the effort was there. Hopefully we see SIGNIFICANTLY LESS LMA post ups and more Pnpop D-
Danny - Was forcing the issue a little bit. C
West - Made a jumper but otherwise underwhelming offensively. He looked somewhat slow defensively. C-
Patty - Looked spry and confident. Distributed pretty darn well and shot the ball really well..He's in great Shape A+
Anderson - Was the best performer. He looked compe ive and made his jumpers..His ball handling ability will be crucial and hopefully it improves as Manu plays less and less with the ball A+
Simmons - Had a poor shooting night and forced a couple of situations. Still needs to learn how to play without the ball. Average defensively C+
Boban - Looked really mobile defensively and opposing players were clearly intimated by his size. Still needs to learn the offensive system. A bit slow with his hands. B-
Butler - Can clearly shoot. Defense is atrocious but should be fine for spot up minutes. B
Ray - is a much more confident shooter than Cojo, but he still needs to learn how to play with the offense better..Great game overall though. Made shots. B+
Jimmer - Looked like the re ed kid in pick up ball that we're all forced to pick sometimes because we don't want to be mean F
Bonner - lol...D-
Ndoye - Great garbage man like player. Very raw offensively. B
Williams - Underwhelming on both ends. C-

Thanks for the grades.
I meant williams..The look alike tbh.
It's like those irrelevant s without photos in JRPG in the 90's IMO.
Thanks for the grades bro, I missed the game.
ing Pilipinos don't know . Hate when I have to fcuking call att to get my Uverse fixed and my call gets routed to PilipinesThomas didn't even play, dumb
was fun despite the loss IMO.Thanks for the grades bro
I asked people to record the game in the thread..Hope someone did.
D- for Bonner is very generous. Guy sucked something fierce.
Get your gotry out of here, .
Well he wasn't the worst player..IMO jimmer was so bad that I couldn't justify giving him the same grade as jimmer
Jimmer needs to push Bonner off the roster if he wants to make the team it appears after 1 game.
Some guys acting like Bonner has it made and doesn't need to compete here. If he wasn't a vet in the team already, everyone would be all over kicking him like they are with Jimmer.
On top of him not playing well we have Kawhi and KA that can play pf minutes if needed. While maintaining elite shooting in Butler. Jimmer could have a spot if he doesn't continue to be awful.
Guy is part of Rudy Gay going 10/13 for 26 points and he s up the easy assist to Jimmer for a three and he gets an A-.
I don't see Jimmer or Bonner losing their spots to Butler; given their contracts and that Butler would just be a redundant player who wouldn't play much behind Kawhi, Anderson, and Simmons.
Jimmer needs to pull his head out of his ass though. He played like crap tonight.
What else is new? Mother er is the Donald Trump of basketball where the more bad stuff he does, the more he sticks around and doesn't go away.
Guy got most of his points with kawhi seating..he made a run there. Guy played almsot 30 minutes in preaseasonGuy is part of Rudy Gay going 10/13 for 26 points and he s up the easy assist to Jimmer for a three and he gets an A-.
Glad he fuked up that assist to Jimmer tbh..Wouldn't want the organization getting cute ideas about jimmer imo. He did it for the team.
Thanks for the grades!!
I expected to see more Aldridge and Patty in pick and roll situations since they played together before...
It seems like Danny was right when he said the second unit "have got their chemistry down probably better than the first unit"...
- All the regular rotational players from last season (Kawhi, Green, Patty, etc.) are playing like what we've all known, including Bonner. Bonner is not on audition like players on unguaranteed contracts, so he is what he is.
- West plays like what he was last season, obviously not the West Spurs fans knew from NO years. But he is serviceable.
- KA is the biggest encouragement so far. He could become a real contributor to the team.
- Simmons should be graded a little higher. He is very active on both ends, and has some pretty good passes. Forced issues sometimes though, and handling needs to be improved.
- Ray was overwhelmed in the first half, but he settled down in the second half. He could play himself into the rotation, especially considering Tony is not the old Tony any more.
- Boban is actually more agile than we thought. For his size, avoiding cheap touch or bumping fouls by pump fake or guards from the perimeter is the #1 priority.
- Right now, it's a no-brainer that Butler is ahead of Jimmer.
- In all, all eyes are on LMA for the pre-season games as he is expected to be the biggest game-changer, and his mesh with the Spurs system makes-or-breaks the whole season. As of now his performance raises big concerns. It's not that he didn't make shots. It's that he doesn't seem comfortable with his teammates at all.
Messina benched Bonner in the second quarter and played Butler at the 4 exchanging with Anderson. Unlike Bonner, Butler shot well and ran the floor better. The team immediately made a run. Bonner is done. If he's not shooting well he doesn't add anything. He's a nice guy and all, but I would not take him over Butler. I am not going to act like other guys didn't show they have more game than him tonight.
It's racism, and you should get your phobia out of here. ing trash of the earth
worst grades ever by the way!
About LMA, he didn't shoot well, but made his open looks. The shots he missed were all contested and he seemed uncomfortable. There is some lack of chemistry there but also the guys on the starting unit are not great playmakers, so they channeled the offense some through him. He doesn't have good chemistry with Danny and between the two if them botched some plays that could have been 3s for Danny. Not going to freak out about it.
