this is going to be interesting....
I didn't see this posted yesterday so here is the link to the Ticket760 podcast:

Expect Beno pick up his man in the back court (full court). Strategy by Pop to get Beno to really engage defensively and hopefully employ more physicality along the way.

rofl
he'll get injured by the third or fourth play
broken
ankles
He's already been doing it some. Pop just decided to have Beno do it all season.
I'm curious to see what will be the result.
So far, Beno hasn't had a great season but I have the feeling that he is very close to turn the corner. I don't know what will be the spark to do it, maybe the full court D or maybe the new ball in January.
How is expending a lot more energy per play going to help Beno play better overall?
mmm come on Beno!!!!!
wake up!
Not sure how this helps Beno unless it's to get him in shape.
Beno seems to be best when he has another dynamic player to get involved with on the offense, and was at his best when Devin Brown was here. Maybe it was him thinking less, I don't know, but having somebody streak and slash and spot up in various places, instead of the usual pick-n-rolls and spots on the wing tends to activate him more.
get his ass in shape this will help
Get him focused but the little I've seen him do it guys get by him pretty quickly and he's hustling just to catch up to them.
Beno, for a supposed good shooter, hasn't shot for jack.
I also heard Pop say that Beno will run suicides during time outs and sell popcorn at halftime.
At least PFs show up in the box score.
won't help. he's just not a good fit for the spurs IMO.
I guess it didn't work. didn't really see him pick it up full court, but then I didn't see him at all in the 2nd half of this Minne game.
Beno is a waste of a paycheck envelope.
the sooner the spurs cut Beno the faster the spurs will get to solving a need.
Most of the time, Beno picked up his man at 3/4 court with fairly loose pressure.
exactly, when is Pop going to figure this out or is he just to much of a puss to look a slovenian in the eye and say gtfo.
I think Pop is to "friendly"
Corrected. That's okay. It's a common third grade spelling mistake.
If this helps him shed 10-15 pounds, I'm all for it.
blow me.

Its a rarity when I agree with the short one.
You can say that Beno sucks and Spurs should trade him as much as you want but the reality is that getting a good backup PG isn't that easy.
Nobody wnat Vaughn as backup PG. If Spurs trade beno, they need a backup PG back who :
- is better than Vaughn.
- isn't on a big contract. Spurs won't have a backup PG with a multiyear MLE contract. DOn't forget too that Spurs want to have capspace in 08-09.
- is available for a package with a late first or the rights to Scola.
Players who fits that description :
Jose Calderon
Chris Duhon
Steve Blake
Tyronn Lue
Brevin Knight
Keyon Dooling
Earl Boykins
Quite weak offer.
Dooling, Blake or Boykins isn't really a clear upgrade over Beno/Vaughn andI'm not ready to give up a first round pick or Scola for Duhon, Calderon or Lue.
All in all, Spurs haven't a lot of options available to get a good backup PG and maybe the best solution is to work with Beno who has the level to be a good backup PG.
What about Brevin Knight? It would be nice if the spurs can swing a deal to get him and Gerald Wallace.
Depend on what the prize is.
If Charlotte want Spurs' first round pick, I rather stick to Beno and draft a solid backup PG with the pick. I don't know NCAA well but Acie Law seems to be a good candidate. The advantage of drafting a PG instead of trading the pick for Knight, Calderon, Duhon or Lue is that you have the player for 4 years on a cheap contract.
If Udrih + Williams + some cash and/or second round pick is enough, it can be a very good solution.
