Ryan Richards... Must be desperate

[choppsboy]

Man I expected to see 16 PF/C's, Corey Joseph, and Kawhi Leonard on the team.

DARKO RAJAKOVIC- WOW - This guy is from the SPanish league.. The 2nd Division but he is still a Coach over there.

The Coaches look rock solid. Hopefully We will find another Center or another Gary Neal..

Random points:

Surprised to see James Anderson on there. Thought his agent requested a trade? I'm glad Ajinca is getting a shot. He shoots well for a big guy. Zeller sucks IMO. I don't like Byars at all. He is a street baller to me. I'm gald Dawson is on the squad. I really liked Tyler Wilkerson two summers ago. I thought he deserved a training camp invite. Not big on Cedric Jackson but they need PGs for the summer league team. Really interested in Ryan Richards. Overall a strong roster and overall impressed with the squad chosen. Looking forward to seeing them play.

Anderson isn't under contract for the Spurs, so any team can sign him. he can play next to most of those guys, so he can inflate his stock.

let the Ryan Richards love fest begin

Let's see at least one summer league game before the love fest begins.

Alexis went to my HS, a year after I left. Good luck to him!

He is not under contract with the Spurs I get that but just seems odd considering he wanted out per his agent. But yes it's true even in the Orlando summer league going on right now.........the Spurs could go down and sign one of those players too. It's wide open.

Our Summer league Assistants have a real International flare. Both are Assistants from major European clubs. So Expect a High Basketball IQ plus a huge chunk of Spurs coaches.

Christos Marmarinos is from Olympiacos BC in Greece. Marmarinos

Lele Molin is from Pallacanestro Cantu in Italy.

Kawhi Leanord and Corey Joseph played really good tonight! Kawhi took over in the final quarter.

Cory Joseph looked like he learned a lot from Tony Parker... super happy to see his confidence level sky-rocket... he even carries himself like Parker out there, spin moves, floater, jumper, and even laughing and pacing... and I saw him lead many huddles out there that turned to successful plays. Kawhi was beast after the refs showed him respect. Dawson was dope too... great first game!
