Castle is real good at being aggressive and attacking the rim. Spurs picked a good one again.

LOL I'm ramping up! But honestly I really like Suggs.


As mouth watering it is to think of the defensive nightmare AB/Suggs gives you, the thought of Jetts 3pt threat and making th court wider for PB/Franz is even more enticing...

Playing through Cole with this unit has been a failure....why did we go away from AB and Jett?

The problem is, I don’t really know if he’s quick enough to defend capable threes without getting blown by.

Ultimately right now I do agree with you that he’s best suited to be a backup SF though.

If Franz can do it... then why not him? Same build more or less...

Looks like the G Leaguers and Two-Way guys/tryouts are in for the night.

I know its probably irrational, but all i think of every time i watch Cole Anthony play is how hes like a fake friend. Acts nice to your face, likes to look like a team guy who supports the young guys, but ultimately he hates it when guys like AB and Jett do well. Its like he notices AB is having a moment and either gets jealous or actively wants to slow him down, so it becomes the Cole Anthony show for 5 trips in a row with him jacking up threes and laying bricks. Just take notice next time one of our young guys is on a hot streak, and how he refuses to feed the hot hand.

I hate this guy being on our team.

TDS not playing right now makes no sense.... He's probably not going to play much when the season begins so him not playing now is just pure mosely

I thought Paolo and Franz were terrible tbh. Both had loose handle, and shooting was below par. Im not seeing anything that suggests either is about to take the next step.

Incredible showing for Jett. Definition of being ready for when your number is called. He’s made a pretty strong case for more minutes going forward.

He played his 19 minutes which is the most for any bench player.
