He's gotta defend and rebound better. Otherwise he is a taller longer Belinelli.
Real talk sons, my man needs more than spot up shots.

lol he's one of the best Spurs defenders. Also, he's a better shooter than Beli too.
He does not stand out in defense. Would give Cunningham and a spry Gay the edge on him on defense. One of the biggest killers is rebounding though. He needs to rebound better. No doubt he should probably close games though. I think our closing lineup should be LMA, Gay, Bertans, Derozan, White or LMA, Bertans, Derozan, White, Forbes. But he is not a 30+ mpg guy quite yet.
He's not the best defender in the post because of his kid shoulders but he's pretty damn good at defending smaller guys out on the perimeter. Every time he shoots a three I'm expecting it to go in. Every time he's defending guards out on the perimeter I'm expecting him to get the stop. Makes you wonder how much more mobile he was before the knee injuries, tbh.
Yeah I agree, kid blew his knee out twice. But you can see the improvement just from this year. He’s integrated a dribble pull up shot to his game and his rebounding has improved. He will only get better
He rates as one of the best Spurs defenders on the last two seasons.
I like his intensity, the rest will follow.
Not really, he already had that shot in Europe. Dude was a really good scorer.
You know what I know son. I'm trying to tell these guys.
Yeah he did but not in the NBA. Totally different, he didn’t have the confidence to even attempt it in his first two years
Deadman it still hurts
I just worry his knees are a ticking time bomb tbh.
Never lacked confidence. That's just something to do with the box he was put in when he came over. Just saying - we had Y an LMA, so we needed Bertans to be a stretch 4 and do stretch 4 things.
played clutch defense on Rose last night. It also doesn't matter if he plays SF or PF since most teams are basically playing 2 SFs anyway when they go small
Just curious, what position would you prefer he play most this season and what do you think his natural position is?
Bertans for NBA 3 Point Contest!!!
Forward.
SF or PF? Which position is he gaurding?
There isn't a difference between SF and PF on the NBA anymore.
I agree that the positions are mixing up but the point remains Bertans has to gaurd someone. Warriors for instance is he guarding KD or Draymond? Thunder is he guarding Paul George or Jerami Grant?
Davis fits in a hybrid role where he can be easily beaten up on the inside and outside. He does a pretty good job from what I can tell. Has all the heart and grit you could want in a player but in the end wings will cross him and bigs will pound him unless he gets better. Criticism for a player I really like.
Personally I see him as a small ball pf off the bench and a SF in the starting lineup. He will be benched when he struggles to rebound and defend. Specially in the playoffs.
up to 25 mpg in January
It all determined by matches if he is not guarding a post dunking PF/SF then he should get a lot of playing time but if he has to guard someone like that limit him for when you need instant offense spark.
He's such a lethal weapon rn. Give any air and he's gonna drain it.
