Vincent Goodwill: Forward Keita Bates Diop agreed to a two-way deal with the San Antonio Spurs, per sources
So what deal for Tre Jones now?
Not bad...Okay, Spurs.
Merge thread with Dejounte’s?
Just the type of guy who can play both forward positions. I like it.
Underrated signing. I had him in some Kawhi trades.
So far this off season the spurs have let non defenders walk and signed only capable defenders. Guess they finally got the memo. I guess the cam reynolds signing is just solely a training camp invite. If he impresses enough then he's in
Some have said he'll get a mle portion for a 3yr deal.
This guy has shaky handles. Reminds me of Danny Green. Will need a Danny Green-like work ethic to save his NBA career. I personally like Cam Reynolds better.
I like it!!! I remember a couple of years back hoping the spurs would draft this guy
Wow. I'm impressed. Quality two-way. He looked pretty good the few times I watched him in the NBA.
Few thoughts:
-KBD passes the eye-test as a long, lanky wing. Not too athletic, not a great shooter but moves smoothly and has skill.
-Granted, I didn't see him much, but I'm a little surprised he went with a two-way now instead of trying to get a minimum deal somewhere.
-Maybe the Drew Eubanks pipeline example paid off. Two-way to guaranteed $5 million has to be tempting to other potential two-ways.
-We'll have to see but my question when I watched him was whether he was quick enough to play SF. If so, his physical tools and talent were pretty impressive. But his footspeed is questionable; might be small 4.
Interesting signing, I think he’s got some upside. He was taken one pick before we got Metu in the draft so I wonder if the Spurs always has their eyes on him.
Defensive players, yeah!
Training camp will be lively and possibly bloody. Good for the rookies to jump into the fire this way.
I really love what the Spurs are doing this off-season. Perhaps they have finally started to believe the experts here on Spurs Talk?
I always highly doubted Jones agreed to sign a two-way prior to the draft. This move all but assures Jones will sign a minimum deal. My guess would be the Spurs will offer him a three or four year minimum deal using the MLE but I expect him to turn that down and go with a one or two year minimum deal.
Agreed on all takes. I was wrong to compare him to Reynolds. This guy actually has a chance to stick since it's a two way deal and Reynolds is an Exhibit 10 deal.
I thought it was his handles that bothered me and reminded me of Danny Green, but it's actually his speed. He basically telegraphs his moves on drives and easily gets blocked.
Like I said, I hope he has a good work ethic to improve that shot.
If he succeeds under that Drew Eubanks pipeline path, then we will have a decent 4/3.
Diop will be a good practice body.
shaky handles? green could never do half the ish diop can
You're right. See my post above.
That Exhibit 10 contract he signed will keep him under the Spurs control for a bit. If he impresses, the Spurs could easily sign him to a minimum deal around the middle of the season. They couldn't do that right now due to the lux tax.
A big wing. Those are always valuable. Has good experience already can be useful in a pinch. Better than most two ways. Good signing.
Matched up against Rui Hachimura here.
Zhaire Smith expected to be waived. If he cleared waivers, hoping the Spurs may take a look but this is a solid signing.
Yeah, KBD was who I wanted at that pick. Kinda like how I was hoping for Woodard in the second round this year and he went one spot before the Spurs pick.
