I'm not willing to evaluate a guy on seven minutes.
Not bad I thought, had a pretty turn around. Got a little y I guess and took that ugly hook shot instead of passing...Ill give him a B for his first showing...thoughts?

... and in garbage time, to boot.
He looked lost, anxious and nervous. Pretty much on par for a first performance.
He looked lethargic, sleepy, one time he basically walked down court alongside our PG bringing up the ball. First impressions count, his wasn't very positive.
I thought Ely ran downcourt like he hadn't gotten his feet all the way into his shoes. You know...sort of that slidin' along with your heels exposed type deal.
Knowing Pop, we may not see the guy the rest of this season.
Until the Playoffs when he throws curveballs at Dirk.
You can always count on Spurs fans.
I think we're going to see him get some minutes. I think Pop has some plans for him depending on our matchups in the post season. If he proves he can contribute I'd be willing to bet he'll see more floor time than Nazr did after game 1 of the Dallas series.
I don't think he was merely a cap move.
Whos spot is he going to take is the question? Backup Beno or oberto
He seemed comfortable banging bodies though..
With the next series of games against "paltry" opponents and with the team playing so well now, there should be opportunites for more blowouts. Which may mean more evaluation time for Ely.
I'm actually surprised there isn't a post screeching at Pop for putting Ely in the game instead of Butler.
My main observation is that if Ely is 6'10 then Horry must be about 7'2.
I don't think he looks short.
He measured 6'9 (no shoes) at pre-draft camp years ago. He also has an awesome wingspan (7'4).
I saw Ely listed as 6'10 and that's obviously not the case...Horry's got 2 inches on him at least.
He measured 6'9 no shoes/6'10 shoes. I'll look at them next to each other close up in the locker room and see if Horry's that much taller than him. I don't think so. Maybe Melvin just hangs his head.
When did you compare them? They weren't on the court at the same time.
One thing I noted was Ely looked a little taller than I expected him to look. He was taller than Oberto and looked like a solid 6'10, maybe an NBA 6'11.
Was probably when they went to a sideline shot...I'm not sure I just know he was standing next to Horry at some point and was noticiably shorter, at least from what I saw...and I took into account that it could be a funky angle.

Oberto definitely looks undersized for a C...
I think he's got to be an NBA 6'10 if he measure 6'9 no shoes. In that same pre-draft camp, Boozer measured 6'7 3/4 no shoes and he lists at 6'9.
Anyway, I don't care about 1 inch or if he's shorter than Horry in Ely's case. He has a nice wingspan and standing reach.
I watched the Toros game instead of the Spurs game last night and feel qualified to say Melvin looked great out there.
Yes.
After all, Spurs fans have too started a "Elson sucks" thread after a preseason game where Elson hasn't grabed a rebound in 20 minutes.
