However, Bonner can contribute in other areas: he can rebound, (relatively speaking) defend and knock down the wide-open threes (if there's any). I just don't expect a Steve Kerr type shooter in him. | I am seriously not sold on him as a defender, the quicker guys at SF or PG just blow right buy him (Memphis Series especially) later on in the year. I guess he is okay at times, but not really known as a good defender. I don't want this to turn into maybe he will do good in the playoffs nor rely on him for minutes towards the end of the year. I do want him to do well as he is a Spur and he does, but I will not say maybe this is the year for him because everytime years on end it has not been.
