Pop Smokin' That Primo While Passing On DeRoza - Official San Antonio Spurs 21-22 Season Thread

Derozan credits Pop for his career resurgence:
SAN ANTONIO — Former Spur Demar DeRozan makes it clear: Playing in San Antonio and for Gregg Popovich did wonders for his career.
He says it made him a complete player, moving beyond just a scorer, and is thankful for the time spent with the Spurs.
"Before then, I was a scorer. ... If I'm 5-for-30, I don't care. If I'm 15-for-30. Like that was my whole mindset. [Popovich] challenged me to the point of understanding the game in the complete whole," DeRozan said.
However, former NBA guard and current ESPN NBA Analyst, JJ Re , doesn't see it that way.
While talking about DeRozan's outstanding play with the Chicago Bulls on ESPN's NBA Countdown, Re called DeRozan's time with the Spurs "purgatory."
"Getting traded to the Spurs. Being in purgatory on a non-playoff team for three years while honing his craft," Re said. "Sharpening his skills. Becoming a better playmaker. Running the point guard. Now he comes to the Bulls and it's a perfect situation."
It is a safe bet to say DeRozan would not call San Antonio "purgatory."
As DeRozan made clear, his time in San Antonio allowed him to be the player he is now.
n fact, what Re currently sees out of the former Spur stemmed from his time in San Antonio.
"How to be a point guard. How to be a playmaker. How to dictate the game. How to move without the play. How to play without the ball. How not to turn over the ball," DeRozan said.
Perhaps Re needs to chat with DeRozan first before throwing shade at San Antonio and realize how it was heaven for the former Spur.
It’s obvious, Demar’s time with the Spurs made him a better overall player. And missing the playoffs could’ve brought hunger back and maybe silence his naysayers. Now he’s back and leads the Guard’s position in AS ballots and should definitely considered and MVP candidate for leading the Bulls back to contention, albeit with much help from Lavine and Bulls squad.

I actually like Hernangomez. I thought he was solid in Denver. I don't see him getting much run with us, tho.
Admittedly don’t know a thing about him, and wasn’t actually tryna shyt on the breh, that last name just sounds like something a hack white sitcom writer from Connecticut would come up with on the fly.

It do sound like a stereotypical ass name lol
Oh I agree the city is going to love him.

Yeah if you a Latin or Spanish player here the city will love you to death and if he plays well it would be a wrap. Manu might be the only Spur who gets as much love in the city as Timmy
