It's annoying to hear this. Yeah, they're both white and shoot threes, but Matt Bonner ing sucked. Bertans already looks better than he ever was.
Bertans has way more potential than Bonner ever did. He just needs to reach it.
His shooting form is 10x better. High and quick, completely the opposite of Bonbon's.
To me he is a more athletic Ryan Anderson
How Bonner stayed on the roster for what felt like 30 years is beyond me. Bertans>>>Bonner not close either

This comparison is racist. SAD!
Bertans is lightyears ahead
Bonner was never this good. Bertans would ing destroy Bonner in a matchup.
Bonner is more consistent on offense and has a wider array of shots in his arsenal than Bertans. He also has the advantage with the ever-important corporate knowledge. I'll give Bertans the edge with athleticism, defense and potential. The kid could be better when all is said and done, but he has a ways to go to catch the Red Mamba.
Bertans is also a better shot blocker than Bonner.
Boner is the reason why I never bought any Spurs merchandise for the past 10 or so years. I didn't want to contribute any more money to that useless got's salary.
well yeah, the resemblance has been obvious for years now. Bertans has way more potential though, but on his side, Bonner did not have Bertans's injury history..
They are pretty different.
Bertans release is so much quicker and he elevates unlike Bonner.
Defensively Bonner was able to defend big bulky guys like Z-Bo (not necessary anymore). Bertans is a below average onballdefender and will be shoved around under the basket. On the other hand, Bertans is a shot blocking threat and is way more agile.
Gotta disagree. Besides being white and having red hair, there is very little they have in common. From what I've seen so far, Bertans moves better without the ball, is more athletic and has a knack for blocking shots. Bonner was a spot up shooter who sometimes mixed it up in the lane by rebounding.
Bonner = Kevin Love
Bertans = Serge Ibaka
Bertans has more potential and skill and athleticism no doubt. If he can learn the system as well as Matty did (whatever that means), I'm sure Pop will have him out there more. Wonder how long that'll take.
Bonner would have beasted in Bertans' role, tbh..the reason Bonner is disliked by many Spurs fans is due to the role Pop forced on him during his time here, which is unfortunate, since he was a very productive player for what his role should have been..there are very few white American players that should be playing big minutes on an NBA team in the 21st century, let alone an aspiring contender..
With his unconventional playing style and positive analytics at a time where they weren't popular in the mainstream, Bonner was ahead of his time..outside of Manu and maybe Parker, Bonner was the most influential player of the Duncan era..
Bertans rookie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> peak Bonner whatever that means
Looking forward to seeing Bertans evolve as a player. Not sure what his ceiling is, but he has all the tools to succeed. Just needs to stay healthy.
I agree with this fully........
Both lastnames start with B...I guess...sounds legit
Bertans= what Bonnie could never be.
Well, hope that, come playoffs, teams will see him out there thinking he's Bonner and thus, leaving him wide open so he can get open looks.
OP is a got.
