Wow Manu not very athletic? He only made Wade and Durant eat leather. Ask Kobe if Manu is not very athletic. Even if he doesn't slam the ball ever again he has enough skills, BBIQ, and heart to start on any team. I bet Kobe wouldn't mind playing with him even at this stage of his career. He's playing with Fisher and he's a dinosaur.
FYI Garrett Temple has been quoted as Pops favorite player this season by Pop. He see's something in him that he likes, so do I. This young kid is good. He proved it in the playoffs when Tony went down.
@CapnFancypants Garrett Temple is awesome, man. He had an awesome summer league! There's no way you can say he's terrible unless you watched the games! Also, his short stint last season when Tony Parker was out, he did great for a rookie. He had a twenty point game! He's definitely gonna play this year. He can play the point or the SG and defend all the way to an SF (if he matches up with GT's size). Garrett Temple is known to drive the basket, but he shot the three well in the summer league.
tony parker does not make his teamates better. So It concerns me if thats gonna hinder james anderson's progress, T.P. is kool but if he is struggling scoring it seems that his whole game suffers, just wish he could improve on other parts of his game (defense, rebound, leadership,passing the ball other than just when its only 2 seconds on the 24 second shot clock).
@abovethelove Manu's the guy that makes his team better, you can play all three of those guys on the court at the same time: Anderson, Manu, and Tony. Manu is our playmaker on offense, and he's the one that makes everyone better. Tony is necessary when you have a big man like a younger Timmy and now Tiago who run the pick and roll so well. Tony's career 3 assists per game (lol!) are practically all because of the pick n'roll
i like this pick for the spurs. were keeping parker as said by someone else. hill will be starting at sg imo. with ginobili coming off the bench , get rid of roger mason so this guy can back up hill and garret temple is going tomake a splash at back up pg
@CapnFancypants Yes because Manu was never athletic and he couldn't score worth crap....or depends on what you mean by "athletic".
Anderson is a steal. Next to Turner, I'd say he(or Henry) is the 2nd best SG in the draft. He's NBA ready. He has all the offensive tools. Defensively, he's not the greatest, but the Spurs wouldn't draft him if he didn't have potential on D. He's got that game changer factor that Manu has. Manu's a free agent, if he doesn't return, we have Anderson.
@sas45champs Manu signed a 3 year extension in April. Manu will be the on the team for at least 2 more years. Anderson can eventually take over as The shooting guard on the Spurs team.
@sas45champs manu wasnt very athletic when he came to the league, good but not athletic. and manu isnt a free agent, they extended him for 3 more years right before the playoffs started. we have him until hes 35....we drafted Anderson b/c masons sorry ass is a free agent and we arent gonna offer him a contract. if we dont trade parker or hill we should be okay with the expected addition of the next tim duncan- Tiago Splitter.
@CapnFancypants I would consider him very athletic. Athleticism isn't limited to your hops. It's how you use it in how you play and how you control it.
I would not mind if they trade Parker, while his stock is high. George Hill is ready. He's extremely smart and mature for any point guard, not just for his age.
@sas45champs Manu was very athletic when he first came into the league. He still is really athletic...I have no idea what you're talking about, are you comparing him to Dwight Howard? lol! He's so quick with the ball, he can play defense really well, even at his age, and he practically gets whatever shot he wants. And whatever athleticism he lacks (which isn't a whole lot), he makes up for with his basketball IQ.
he's not a PG he's a SG something we were lacking!! That's why phoenix raped us, then again.. us SPURS fans have something phoenix will never have.. 4 titles! GO SPURS GO!
Why is everyone here so scared of Parker leaving he aint going nowere. Anderson has never been or played the PG in coleege he is a pure shooter SG. He address the spurs need of outside shooting it is another steal and a great pick. Now lest see if we can get a 5th big to hlep us out with Splitter also who is coming
yes I like this scoring machine; at times he looked unstoppable. Just needs to control the pace consistently with the ball. Could be the best NBA scorer in years to come.
