I found it surprising that these guys are actually as in touch as us the fans (though I sure it should not be a surprise it is for me), with the pioneering work the spurs are doing in the use of the D League as a development tool and extended audition for the majors. As an aside, I'd just love to see Ingles head to the Toros because he is an Aussie, and I watch as much international play as possible. Also as an aside, Brett Brown coached for a few years here in Sydney with the Kings before heading off again to the spurs, and I think he does an outstanding job with the boomers, especially in terms of his rotations and playing youth. Tim,

Someone like Ingles may never see a minute of D-League action, but his response to the question was telling. He showed a real willingness--even a desire--for coaching and further development. That's what I wanted to come across in the piece. I don't know enough about Ingles and it's too early in the process to say whether he projects here or there.

I'd love to see him get to the toros.
