Sam Young Reaches Deal With Spurs 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Sep 25, 2013 10:45 pm

Sam Young has reached agreement on a contract with the San Antonio Spurs, league sources told RealGM.


A defensive-minded swingman at 6-foot-6, Young received interest from several teams throughout free agency, including the Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks.


Young averaged 2.8 points and 2.2 rebounds last season as part of the Indiana Pacers' bench rotation, receiving significant minutes defending key wing players on opposing teams.


The Spurs lost Gary Neal in free agency this offseason, but they've re-signed Manu Ginobili and added Marco Belinelli and Young. Danny Green is expected to retain his starting role this season.


Young, 28, was the Memphis Grizzlies' second round pick in 2009 and signed a free agent deal with the Philadelphia 76ers before his season with the Pacers. Young has averages of nearly six points and two rebounds per game over four seasons.

I was thinking the same thing, but honestly there is not a great bit of difference there.

I think he'll be a great fit for the Spurs.

Well you gotta assume Ginobli will be hurt at some point during the year, or Pop will be limiting his minutes to prevent said injury. Put him around 25-30. Leonard is good for 30+, Green 20ish, Belinelli probably around 10, Sam Young waiting to step in when any one of em goes down, and probably will get some run when the Spurs need some big stops and don't want Kawhi tiring himself out too much. The NBA isn't like a video game, where you need your stars on the court for 48 minutes...

Well, what difference is there between this situation and what the Spurs had with Neal last year? I see no minute issues, especially since Leonard can play some 4. Sam Young will be playing spot minutes.

Yet another good sneaky pick up by the Spurs. His willingness to play defense and his size will net him spot minutes seeing that Kawhi can play the PF position when needed as someone eluded to in this thread.

I know , but they are mostly scrubs and wont get any meaningful minutes... besides Diaw, maybe.
