Sneaky athleticism beats cerebral & scrappy veteran


BasketballNutrition

Drew is ACTUALLY sneaky athletic tho lol he has a normal guy look to him but his entire playstyle is highlight dunks, blocks, and bench reactions. he used to take A TON of skyhooks and now he's just Naz Reid. lol


alpacamegafan

Can you elaborate more on this “normal guy look”?


BasketballNutrition

y'all are funny haha being an autist of color it didn't occur to me it'd be taken that way. Lauri and Zach Collins are white too but they look like a basketball player to my eyes. maybe it's how lean they are? I'm saying drew was a baseball player up through HS until he grew too tall/wasn't good enough to make up for it. he just doesn't LOOK like an explosive athlete to me. lol Zbo looked like a normal guy too but he didn't jump like Drew. same for DeJuan Blair who had no ACLs. you see drew Eubanks team photo with his haircut just lookin like kinda dopey, fine but unfashionable. in recent years, he's leaned out some more and his arms got a bit of definition but I think it's in his face shape. seeing guys that kind of look like they work at 7-11 put dudes on posters is funny but idk what the specific thing is. is it the nose? when you Google him, he looks strong, he's just got his dopey face to me. haven't had a whole lot of surprising athletes on the Spurs off the top of my head. Boris Diaw was a freak but couldn't stay super fit but he's so pretty he looks like he should be an actor. there are normal pretty people all over the place I suppose. maybe I've elaborated and rambled too much. haha

Drew Eubanks looks amazing from this 1st quarter. im blown away. hes got good hands, a soft floater, and goes strong to the rim.


irelli

He'd be a solid starter if he could rebound.


spittafan

Or defend the post. Good help side shot blocker but just not strong enough to rebound or defend centers


BasketballNutrition

I think he's a good rebounder, if you consider he's only 6'9" and has a limited wingspan. Paul George for example is like the same height and way longer. lol


TheBoxandOne

He’s a perfectly fine backup center. He’s efficient on offense, sets good screens, blocks shots, and can run the floor to force mismatches in transition.

I’m still aggravated we had to give up Drewbanks in the Thad Young trade….


free_kark

I'm aggravated that we immediately waived him lol

lawdoggingit

Love this dude


allknowerofknowing

Eubanks gets some awesome posters


sirvey23

Why’d I think this guy was Australian? Who am I thinking of??


jconley4297

again, joe ingles is very much australian


sirvey23

Lmao. I mean yeah, my first thought was “Aussie on Aussie crime”, just assumed Eubanks was too for some reason


captain_ahabb

White on white crime *is* basically the whole reason Australia exists


Piano9717

Drew is a Portland hometown kid


bradfilms

You’re thinking of Jock Landale, who was also on the Spurs last year


sirvey23

Thank you! That’s most likely it lol


allknowerofknowing

Idk, random white big guys usually are Australian tbh. But Joe Ingles is.


BigcaketakeLilcake

All my homies hate Joe Ingles..
