All he needs to do is play off the ball and focus on defense and catch and shoots. If he could do that he‘d be one of the best role players in the league. The big question is: can he do it?

I keep saying, eventually their roles will shrink to something manageable. Guys like Keldon and Vassell, if they can't feast with reduced expectations and all the defensive attention going to Wemby/Fox/Castle types then pack your bags. You should be getting wide open looks and you should have so many other duties covered by the more talented team mates. It's a cushy position letting legit players make you look good all you have to do is knock down open shots and limit bonehead plays.
 
Man what a strong sports day:

SEA DET rn, CHC MIL at 4, TOR NYY at 6, Spurs preseason 6:30, WNBA Finals G3 at 7, PHI LAD at 8 LA VGK at 9
 
Oddly enough, was mostly looking forward to see New Sochan.

Now I'm excited to see New Vassell. I want to see a true 3&D wing. If I see more iso Kobe ball, I'm gonna be disappointed.

I'd say he doesn't even have to be 3&D, just 3&not a negative on D.

I think we won‘t see that til Fox is back. With the PGs being out, Devin will definitely handle the ball more than he should.

Good point... though now exactly great for the long-term. You play like you practice, and it will be tough for Devin to flip the switch if he spends all pre-season being old Devin and then is suddenly asked to be new Devin.
 
Vassell/KJ/Champagnie/Barnes/Wemby SL? I'd rather see Waters get the nod over Keldon.

Looking forward to the Wemby/Kornet High/Low action and want to see how CB reacts to real-life NBA players.

Can I post my game grades now?

with fox, castle and harper all out those step-back contested threes are calling to him like the green goblin mask
 
Starting 5 : Vassell, Champagnie, Johnson, Barnes, Wembanyama

lol wtf kind of lineup is that? Mitch already showing early onset dementia
 
baselinebums: hopefully devin can refocus on 3&D archetype and move away from his main character style of play

mitch: ok devin go play point guard!
 
Spurs official twitter account first time Devin pounds the air our of the ball, strings together 5 moves, and makes a contested stepback 2 point jumper:

OKAY, Devin!!
 
Is there a bat flying around the arena?
