[I CALLED GAMEParticipant]

 I Believe in this guy, I think his NBA career will be a lot better then his college career, he’s an athletic guard with a smaller frame but boy can he Defend, on ball, help defense, steals by both on ball and help D, he’s able to go up and challenge the big’s, he’s a stronger gaurd, and his offensive game is beginning to shine and help him move up draft boards. Payton II is a really intriguing prospect and with his style of play I think he’s a perfect fit for the Spurs, he would go into the league with an advantage because he fits there style of play and plus he would be learning from Pop, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan, Patty Mills, LaMarcus Aldridge, Danny Green, Boris Diaw, David West. Gary Payton II would be a shoe in San Antonio its a match made in heaven.

I just would like to know what everyone thinks about GPII – Gary Payton II?

Let’s be honest, most players would be a great fit on the Spurs if they bought in, I feel like we say that so often it’s almost become cliche. That being said I am a GPII fan an hope he ends up in the right fit.

 "he’s a perfect fit for the Spurs system" the player is a good, sometimes great college player (often even our favorites) but a little old because they spent several years in college (usually Jr or Sr.) developing their game (or trying to win a Nat. Champ.) and fall to the late first round as a result of this new idea that these 1 and done freshmen (thanks to Calipari) players that Dicky V loves to say have soooooo much "potential" that can’t go straight the league (thanks to eddy curry, who’s career was so bad and such a failure that not even Garnett, T-Mac, his teammate Kobe and/or Lebron Jame’s success will ever lead to changing this rule) and that leaves successful teams finding diamonds to plug holes with guys that in the 90s would probably be drafted in the teens.

 I’ve always wondered why staying 3 or 4 years has become such a stigma. Players did if for decades to the tune of great success. Now it’s a crutch, as if players who leave after 1 or 2 years always pan out splendidly.

Couldn’t agree with you more. On top of that, you see loads of talented freshman make the jump, develop slowly and when they finally contribute a team has to pay them. 3 or 4 year college players however are more finished product and generally produce at least 2 to 3 years on their rookie scale contract…

 I dont think he will slide as far as people think.

In a weak Freshman and international class…a guy like GPII will be attractive in the 20-30 range. Hes not a career NBA starter…but a 5th backcourt option on a versatile team.
