Summer League Questions

Since PTR is going to have a face at this year's Summer League in Las Vegas, we should post some questions for ATS to pick from. That way, he'll have something to fall back on incase he freezes up while talking to his Ewwwie Pooie Idol, George Hill. The last thing we want is for ATS to comeback with recordings that contain... "Uh..... Hel-oooooo, this is a PTR interview.... Goodbye. BIGFAIL. So everyone take the time and throw out a few questions for Gramps.

For: DeJuan Blair

Who is DeJuan Blair, the person? Aside from rebounding, what can you bring to the Spurs that will prove to be invaluable? One last question… Can you give my brotha, CMoney, a shout out?

Also, I wonder if they ever google their names and check Spurs blogs and forums to see what people think of them. Oh, and check if there’s a Web-head in there somewhere, and ask him if he’d want to do some blogging. Would be awesome.

One for each of them

George Hill: Do you anticipate being Tony’s primary backup next season? If so, are you ready for the increase in minutes?

Ian Mahinmi: How is your health? Nagging injuries or are you ready to be a regular contributer on the roster?

DeJuan Blair: You put the hurt on Thabeet in the NCAA. Are there any special techniques you use for going after 7 foot plus players?

Jack McClinton: Do you have NBA range on your three? Have you been working on that?
 
James Gist: What have the Spurs told you about the likelihood of you joining them this season?

Eric Dawson: How do you like playing for the Toros?

Nando De Colo: Are you really here? Tony said you’d be concentrating on Team France.

Marcus Vinicius: Can you describe a typical day in the life of a Roman Consul? What do you think of Gauls?
 
Malik Hairston: Are you concerned about people mixing your name up with Marcus Haislip now that he is a Spur?

Squeaky Johnson: How did you get the name Squeaky?

Donnell Taylor: Do you see yourself as a 1 or a 2? Can you play the 3 as well?
 
Antonio Anderson: What was it like playing with all of those studs on Memphis? Do you think that experience has gotten you ready for the NBA?
 
Romel Beck: You have a sweet jumper, and that has been evident since your days at UNLV. Have you improved on other areas of your game besides your shooting? Have you put on any muscle since college?
 
Alonzo Gee: You are known for your defense. Have you watched Bruce Bowen play? Do you think you could bring some of that to the Spurs?

Nicknames, people, nicknames

ATS, you need to ask each and everyone of them what they want their official PtR nickname to be, so then we take the ones who don’t play very well and twist it into something evil for our own cruel amusement we can use it here on PtR to refer to that player when they make the big roster.

BlaseE, terrific work and absolutely rec’able.

So many of these were hilarious, but the most impressive one was:

Gist: Being overseas all of last season, have you seen all of the Spurs games? Do you think they needed you last year? How would you have effected the Dallas series?

Not only is this an excellent question that would be impossible to answer without making him think and give an actual reply, but it’s also possible that his answer to this question could actually be sufficient for Pop to Mensa-Bonsu him, if his reply isn’t sufficiently Spur-like.

That would be so epic, that I can already hear the exchange taking place between Gist and some random player in the Itialian league later on this year:

Random Player: Weren’t you on the Spurs summer league roster?
Gist: Uh huh.
RP: What happened? I heard you were playing pretty well.
G: I wasn’t sufficiently humble during an interview and I’ve been exiled to Europe for another year of seasoning.
RP: I’ve heard that the American newspapers can be very dangerous to talk to.

Mahinmi: Can you elaborate on what you felt during this moment? It seemed like you knew it was coming. Was it difficult to play hard to get?

Hairston: How difficult was it to hide the envious feelings towards Ian at that moment?

McClinton: Are you aware that with your excellent spot up shooting, and good solid defense, you are already more than capable of replacing Bonner as the starting center? Does this make you feel good or bad?

Coach: Are you under strict orders by Pop to play only the savvy vets in your lineup, and not allow any dunks despite this being a summer league game?

Blair: Your offensive rebounding numbers are staggering, however, as you might be aware, the Spurs don’t get many offensive rebounds mostly because Pop prefers that everyone run back on defense to prevent any easy baskets. Has Pop, or the coach of the summer league discussed with you when they will want you to go after offensive boards and when you shouldn’t? What have they said about it?

SpurNando: Since it is obvious that you have mastered the art of human cloning by being here in Vegas and with the French team, could you possibly clone Manu so he can fulfill his argentine duty to play for the national team, and also play for the spurs?

Don’t ask JRW “when it should be done,” he’s a little cavalier with his awarding of recs.

And by the way, I totally recced your comment.

It’s also when you agree with something someone says. It may not be worthy of a full ‘rec,’ or maybe you’re just feeling too lazy at that moment to go through the rec-awarding motions; but either way it’s still something that you’re onboard with and like. Variations include: “+1000,” “+a million,” one," and "Juan."

After Big50 wrote that post, encouraging us to rec more, I took it to heart. But I’m not handing them out like candy, it’s just that I imagine that I have a larger bag of them than you do.

SpurNando taught JRW to clone himself.

Did we really just add a player good enough to be guarded by Bruce Bowen?

And I really wish he hadn’t. This isn’t knowledge that the average human should possess.
