I heard James White (out of Cincinnati) got waived by Indiana, which stuns me. I think the Spurs would be crazy not to go after this guy, he is a world-class athlete in Bruce's body and I think he's about 24. He got drafted with the first pick in the 2nd round at #30 this year and I was praying he would fall to the Spurs at the bottom, but knew it wouldn't happen.

He has been criticized for not having a high basketball IQ (corporate knowledge as Pop says) and for a shot that isn't the greatest. But I declare he does have okay 3-pt range from what I've seen and is supposedly an underrated defender. This guy could win a slam dunk contest easily, I think he did or almost did in college. I remember one where he did the Jordan from the free throw line but added between the legs if my memory serves me.

All we need is someone who can run the floor, play D, and hit the occasional 3 from the corner just like Bruce. I think he could pick up those things easily over the course of a couple seasons in our championship-caliber clubhouse! Plus he'd be a monster on fastbreaks with Tony and Manu.

He will definitely get picked up by someone and if the Spurs don't try then that's just one more guy that's about as good as you can hope for at backup SF that I'll be pissed we didn't get (i.e. Josh Howard, Florent Pietrus, Yakhouba Diawara, Thabo Sefolosha, et al). :bang:

I am sick of seeing the articles about our problem at future SF, what the hell are we waiting on, another lottery miracle? We arent gonna get a Kevin Durant, fuhgetabouddit!!! MAKE A MOVE R.C.!!! I am willing this with ESP or jedi-mind sh*t or whatever it takes! DOOOOIIIITTTTT :jam2:

I think it is cool how we have such knowledgable posters here - you guys were all over this one even last summer before the draft...

I was all over it because I know James White. He went to UC, my school. He SHOULD be a great fit in San Antonio. I know that he's one of the few Huggins players to stay out of trouble, at the very least! :lol:
