I'm hoping for that too
Man I feel bad for Joe Weiskamph. He’s gonna have a lot of compe ion
I'm hoping for that too
Ye. Come on Chinook, it's Ye Olde Towne Pub
Don’t sleep on Joe Dirt. The guy got 42 inch vertical at the Combine
Yeah I think Wiesy stays for now. Last summer was about getting shooters and it was a direction that basically failed. I remember some of us discussing whether Corey Kispert could possibly be a good pick at 12. Forbes failed. McDermott essentially failed. Wieskamp is part of that push. Name of the game now is versatility and potential growth.
But we still need shooters and Wieskamp is cheap, growing into his game, and deserves a bit more time to see.
I think Barlow and Wieskamp are the two-way guys this year unless Joe gets an international deal or something.
I like this kid. Got a fire and elite burst you want to see down low in today's game. Definitely has tons of potential. Great 2 way signing. Look forward to watching Austin Spurs next year with some of these guys. Really great draft night.
Smart way to use the 2 way deal. Young guy who is rough around the edges but athletic and ha the potential to be something special
the G league team gonna be fun this year.
Impossible as it is, getting Barlow, as a non-drafted 2-way signing, made this draft make sense. Put some meet on his bones and he's got the potential to play center. And he adds a platoon at the 4, so that potentially that spot goes from one of your worst spots to one of the best in 2 or 3 years with Sochan.
I went from quite pissed to quite happy over a 2 way. lol
Undrafted and on a 2 way. If he sees 100 minutes of real game time over the course of his contract I would be shocked
Well statistically speaking you are absolutely correct
As I asked earlier why wasn't he drafted?
However hope springs eternal
And it's draft time where we spend hours discussing players who for the most part never amount to much....
I
Eubanks and KBD were also two-ways, and Forbes and Eubanks were undrafted players who made the team out of college. While the odds of Barlow being a rotation player in a couple of years aren't great, there's plenty of precedent. He's not on an SL or tryout contract.
I like the fire and hunger inside this kid. He has his eyes on the prize, a legit NBA contract. He is willing to put in the work to make it happen. As Kenny Smith would say. "He is eating soup with a fork right now."
I think it’s been discussed but I wanna say Barlow is repped by Primos agent, good karma when working with agents tbh
As always, thanks for all your efforts in posting these u/d through various threads ace3g.
Spurs may have something here. Very unorthodox pathway to the NBA. Excited to watch his development.
I ask again
Why wasn't he drafted?
TIMVP mentioned something about his agents asking not to be drafted.
I read somewhere that he asked not to be drafted (if that’s possible) and preferred getting in the NBA through a 2way contact. This kid’s willing to put in the works. Very Spursy.
It may surprise people that, for the player, there is no financial advantage to being drafted in the 2nd round versus being undrafted. The contract rules are exactly the same. First-round picks benefit from special contract rules, but 2nd-round picks don’t.
It appears that the Spurs, after getting a good look at Barlow, promised him a two-way contract. The Spurs probably also told him they couldn’t draft him with their 2nd round pick, because of other plans. (They traded it.)
So Barlow accepted the guarantee from the Spurs, instead of the uncertainty of staying in the draft, where he could end up with nothing. A wise decision, I think. The acquaintance with coach Johnson surely helped.
Watching a little bit more of this guy
he doesn’t score or facilitate from the post at all
which leaves me in doubt that he can play C, which I initially had thought he could do. He theoretically could if he was strong enough to handle bigs on defense. It’s hard to find footage of this guy.
"She kept pushing me." I think that's true for most of our mothers, at least at the beginning.
