every year there's usually a rookie to show out and score gaudy numbers, but then fade into mediocrity. you don't usually trade your FRP in their rookie deal anyway, so houston is not likely to trade him, but a team that bad can't invest in a rookie. They should trade him if the get an offer like the spurs got murray. Sengun is about at that level at present. one or two time all star. HE is supposed to be ahead of other rookies because he was a high floor guy. houston got good value with the draft, but they are toast if their other FRP don't improve. If they don't improve then trade sengun for more picks and keep the tank going. Until Sengun shows several years of consistent growth he's not the answer to the question "is this the franchise". Maybe he's the next kawhi or jokic but odds are not on that side.
Which came and went.
There is NO good reason to play him now in anything other then a Loss.
7-15 and 5-9 on treys tonight.
Twas a beautiful 16 straight and perfect Rodeo Road Trip. Yet no good reason to end the streak tonight.
Unless Dougies defense was even worse then his usual All NBA Worst D, he helped win tonight.
Theyre probably grooming him to be an assistant coach or something.
They need at least one vet who knows the game of basketball. Dieng might be too old.
Doug is a professional shooter and can help a contender. I exoect Spurs to trade his expiring contract come trade next season deadline
For 3 SRPs and a bad contract.
Four more second rounders baby.
load up that 2rp treasure chest
And what will Dougie be doing in the meantime?
Wonder what team will give one 2RP, let alone 2+ for Dougie.
Actually Doug is not bad. In a contender where he will get open shots, McBuckets will be sinking those. I’d keep him during Championship years. He moves well through screens, fast release, and the ability to get to the basket with that stretched layup, nothing worst than Beli or Patty.
Cut him. He cost us a loss last night. That's not acceptable.
Charlotte is only a game back in the loss column. But it's so much better for you to have seen Pop n Dougie combine for another win. Yay!
I can see Dougie Fresh sticking around, helping as a vet presence for the young guys. His at ude seems great and I could see him picking his way into coaching down the line.
Doug will be dumped next season
I hope not
If we don't score Wemby, that could happen. He'd be better for a contender than on a long rebuild.
Zollins said they are learning a lot of the off ball movement stuff from Dougie.
You Dougie supporters want to run another half year for a 67th round draft pick in 2078?
Or just have Pop buy him out Pet Style?
On a rebuilding team, McDermott has far little downside.
he’s nothing but a plus in what he teaches and he’s good on offense for the young guys.
only way you move him unless someone like Sacramento, or Phoenix comes knocking wanting to improve their depth.
He is the most impactful player in terms of on court development. The difference with him and star vets is that what he does is replicable. He had the ball in his hands in college and transitioned into one of the best off ball guys in the league, same thing our young guys would have to adjust to.
Why exactly is it no contenders picked him up?
The biggest problem with McDermott is that he made too many three point shots and moved too well without the ball such that it made some of our games compe ive. The guy was a big risk to our tanking and probably should've been "injured" just like Sochan, Vassell, and Johnson.
Heck, Denver Nuggets Fans were telling me that if they could have one player on our roster, it would be Dougie. Probably because he lit them up in what was an unfortunate win for the Spurs.
Certainly he's someone I hope the Spurs move in the offseason. Not a hater, just don't see what he'd bring by keeping him around...keep the losses a little closer perhaps? Wemby in the fold and a lot of positive roster changes may convince me he'd be decent in a limited role, but as the odds sit right now I'd say no gracias.
