    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">- San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has shown an affinity for foreign players. He didn't have to go far for his most recent acquisition.

    On Wednesday morning, Popovich handed Elias "Larry" Ayuso a one-year guaranteed contract that will have the Puerto Rican shooting guard joining the NBA champions for the 2003-04 season.

    At the FIBA Tournament of the Americas, Ayuso is averaging 12.5 points per game, making 14-of-37 3-pointers. He also was involved in a postgame incident last week in which he went after a Mexican player outside Roberto Clemente Coliseum after a game.</div>

    Ayuso Was impressive today..Where he scored 16 points v Brazil I believe....He could help fill the gap left by Steve Kerr..

    Spurs are still siging the overseas talent...and it's getting them somewhere....why don't other teams try it? IMO i think the Mavs should do the same....

    Sounds like a good pick up! International players seem to only get better when given the chance to play with a good team! Spurs are really improving with this move almost imediately! [​IMG] :mrgreen:
