I meant is he getting a lot of minutes and playing well? Besides the cool dunk obviously.
Is he still in Austin? Don't rookies usually get activated for the RRT?
rather him get a chance over champ....
Yeah would be nice to bring Sidy up to the big leagues for the last stretch of the season.
Plays mean but smart! Pops gotta love this kid!!!
Cissoko's all around game was never the issue, the question is: can he shoot? like, AT ALL? This season he's shooting 15.4% from 3, but let's chalk it up to small sample. For his G League career, he's shooting 27% from 3 and 65% from the line. Needs to work on that A LOT if he's going to be successful in the NBA, can't have a roster filled with non shooters. Oh well, at the very least beats drafting a Thompson at 4/5, I guess
Bring him up.
It's crazy how common the archetype of a defensive forward who can make plays but is unable to shoot is. It's like Thad Young had as much of an impression on young aspiring basketball players as Curry did.

That's like double Zach Collins since Tre became the starter.
Fits right in, practically a flamethrower
Watch Ryan Dunn get drafted and work on his playmaking instead of his shooting
It really just highlights how hard it is to master the skill of great shooting ( passable shooting ). Some overcome it but it’s an Achilles heal for most unfortunately. I like buddys at ude
You can tell Pop likes the guy’s defense and motor, on top of his potential PF skills. No doubt Sidy will get his chances.
He plays hungry on defense and passes well. Who does the "big" team have that does that?
My issue with him is that I think he is a PF but he is only 6'6 and so far he has not shown any improvement on any outside shooting. But that is OK when they signed him I new he was a project so with those you definitely have to wait until year 3 before you hope to see any big changes
GG Jackson maybe might have been just a little bit better pick at that point in the draft.
GG Jackson was an atrocious pick, absolutely awful in a historical sense. It's a miracle that he's actually productive and we'll see if it lasts.
Not an awful pick at 45. Not even close.
The Spurs need to learn to use those 2d round picks -- there are obvious advantages (over 1st round picks) if they hit and little downside if they don't.
The Spurs have a lot of 2d rounders going forward, so they better learn how to use them -- that's where winning teams are often built.
Yeah, he had about ten blazing red flags. There was no way the Spurs would have taken him. I mean, cry about it I guess. There was like a one percent chance he'd ever turn out, considering what he'd been doing. I still don't know if he'll do this long-term. Teams figure players out and he's a headcase.
Cissoko was the swing you're talking about. We already made that swing. And it was a pretty good swing. I mean, I'd rather have Trayce Jackson-Davis like I was calling for last year, but whatever.
But I guess Jackson is another player this ing fanbase is going to obsess over for ages. Again, just go be a Memphis fan if you like him so much.
Calm down, man.
I don't like guys with red flags either (although I like em a lot more in the 2d round).
I've seen Isaiah Collier twice in person -- he's got red flags all over the place IMO. When the team huddles he walks off by himself with his back to the team and looks longingly at the tunnel to the dressing room (maybe he just needs to take a piss).
I haven't seen GG Jackson in person but I've seen him play long stretches of NBA games (vs highlight reels.)
He always has a smile on his face and engages with his teammates, helps em up from the floor, that kind of thing.
His last five games he's averaged 20.2 points, shooting .457 from 3 and .579 from 2.
He's 6'9", he's only 19 and he's doing this in the NBA -- most of the 19-year olds we talk about are in college or the G League and they don't even have such stats there.
The 2d round is the place where you take guys you think may have issues (even if you turn out to be wrong).
Think it's dangerous to second guess and re-litigate not picking GG Jackson if you're only looking at his NBA performance. He had very legitimate at ude concerns as well as issues with his feel in college. Maybe a guy like this pans out occasionally, but your downside risk is also significant. What if you end up with a Kevin Porter Jr for example? Sure you can cut him eventually if he doesn't pan out, but in the meantime he's probably not doing your locker room and your young players any favors.
It may be a lotta things but it's not a second guess -- I was calling for GG if he fell to the 2d round a month before the draft.
