easily a starter when he upgrades offensive skills and athleticism. I love his court vision and passing.

RC Diacono ... if Nash could become an MVP, maybe he can too!
So let's not discount his lack of athleticism.
Nash was a pretty damn good athlete.
Seems to be a heady PG lacking elite shooting and athleticism. Maybe a project for D League.
No he wasn't. He was a very good shooter that became a very good dribbler and passer.
I can see him becoming a reliable professional back up in the mode of Kevin Ollie.
I'm not saying he's Kevin Johnson, but he was fairly fast and had good quickness. At least with the ball.
He was very crafty with the ball. I did see him play when he was a nobody, and he was really known as a very good shooter with a lot of range.
Though it took him a while to get those really good handles and passing. That wasn't available for him in his first couple of years.
Fair enough. I can't say that I was aware of him in his early years. I just never really looked at him and thought that he was nonathletic. Maybe I should have added the obligatory "for a white guy".
I think this guy is being signed to start for the Austin Toros. The Spurs are taking a flyer that he can develop into something while in the D-League. He has looked steady and solid in Summer League but does lack the athleticism you would like for a NBA guard. I guess their ceiling would be third point guard on a roster if he develops.
There's always value for a guy who can dribble the ball well and shoot the occasional 3 pointer. Steve Kerr made a living on just 3 pointers, and he couldn't even dribble!
You are wrong. Nash wasn't athletic but things like hands, dribble control, and balance was amazing. The guy could dribble around the key amongst the trees and never lose his dribble without doing anything fancy, and when he had to shoot off the dribble, his body was so square, and his shooting mechanics was so consistent. The guy was a great athlete. Take someone like Wesbrook, that guys balance and shooting mechanics are dreadful. His career ends the day he loses 25% of his athleticism.
Yeah, Pop liked Andre Miller because he could control the offense, I think they want to see if this guy can develop into that kind of player.
This guy is CURRENTLY better than Kyle. Love the signing
Been a fan since day one. He could be what dellie was for the cavs type of player., but much better vision and awareness. Hope he develops.
Utah & Vegas Summer League stats (19.5mpg):
2.43ppg, 2.71rpg, 2.29apg, 1.1spg, 1.4TO, 35fg%, 33.3 3P%
Camp contract tbh
I really love the way he's always under control, not selfish, and is a pass first pg. Ain't to many of them floating around these days. Everybody wanna be Curry or Westbrook.
we're ed.
Nash was an amazing athlete from the time he was a rookie.
I like this kid a lot...heady player, pesky defender, has a nose for the ball and can make some shots. There is a stark contrast between him and Murray in that he always plays under control and within the offense.
I don't know if he fits on the current roster, but Od hate to lose him to another team if the Spurs cut him. I just think the kid has the "it" factor.
No, we are ed if Kyle remains in the 2nd unit. Okc was like " are you ting me pop? You're gonna play Kyle? Thanks! "
do you know many players that jump off one foot, shoot and make the basket? You speak as if, shooting, dribbling and passing do not require any elite athletic abilities whatsoever....
Hasn't this guy been throwing bricks in the Summer League?
