that was a good thing. he wouldnt have made it to the spurs.
Devin’s countenance reminds me of an old-school type player. Not a superstar, maybe not an All-Star, but a very good pro for 10+ yrs, barring injury. He’s focused, looks relaxed, confident, plays within the system, and seems like his IQ is very high. It’s quite a sight to see a rookie who know where he needs to be on the floor to this degree. He is attuned to so many of the details of the game and Spurs sets. To me, fitting in and finding ways to adjust and contribute to the NBA game is job #1.
He’s doing a fantastic job, couldn’t ask for much more at this point.

Funny, he reminded me a little of Eddie Johnson (the one who played for the Kings and PHX), only with better defensive skills, when I first saw him play.
I like what he brings. He, Keldon and White (if he can get healthy) would give us a nice young core. If Walker and Murray can also reach their potential (not as sure on those two) that's a good young group of players.
He already looks like a good 3-D player. Don't know how good he can become but it looks like in the worst case scenario he's going to be a very good role player.
Keldon is not an inch taller than Demar. he is probably slightly shorter but about the same height.
I honestly think Devin has a high ceiling, he just needs to bulk up some. The fact that he has been able to contribute so much without summer league or much training with the team is incredible.
Probably true. I said it was a possibility.
Something about Keldon's body makes him more suitable for bigger NBA positions than DeMar. Maybe because it's wider.
Scottie Pippen for me. Devin will be a very good 2way player. Murray/Vassell/Keldon will be the next big 3. If Luka pans out, Spurs would be elite in a very long time.
These are younger kids now that are getting drafted, unlike before. Drob grew almost a foot in his senior year in high school.
Keldon's standing reach is 8-foot-8, which is what you'd expect from someone who is ~6-foot-8. The Spurs accounted for his short neck when they drafted him, interestingly.
slightly on the upper body side but I figure Demar’s legs and positioning down there are much stronger than Keldon. Demar’s problem is he just doesn’t know how to defend well. Keldon long term at the four will wear him out. He is a SG/SF.Probably true. I said it was a possibility.

Vassell is amazing. I know Derrick is hurt. But the kid needs this kind of minutes even when White gets back.
He's just so natural. Defense, he just knows where to go. He's not afraid to take 3pt shots.
This kid is a stud.
54% 3PT
His defense was legit tonight tbh.
That steal off that pass to Davis under the basket, that was just knowing where to go. And there we several. The kid just has great defensive feel for the game.
There's really no reason to leave Vassell out of the rotation when White gets back.
Murray
Walker
DeRozan
Keldon
Aldridge
White
Mills
Vassell
Gay
Poeltl
Pretty straight forward, tbh. I don't know why Pop didn't play him the couple of games Derrick played.
Maybe conditioning, but Vassell should've earned his minutes by the way he's playing. Great stuff.
If Devin works on his handle over the summer, it's over.
Yeah that was a great play don't see many player in the NBA doing that, even the commentator said that alot of play will just give up in that play.
Those two key rebounds in the 4th.
He's got a nose for the ball.
Dejounte and Devin has those go go gadget arms! I would love the lineup of DJ, Dev,KJ,DD,LA, bring Lonnie & White in to time kill a second team lineup.
I love what I’m seeing from the young man so far on the court.
Yep, Devin may not be scoring a lot, but I like what he is doing out there on the court. He looks like he's going to be a very good player. Love what he does on the defensive side of the ball, and for me, defense always comes first, so I'll always likely be biased. Hopefully he works hard on his offense and becomes a great two-way player.
