The Spurs selected forward James Gist out of Maryland because he’s a hustle player. He is 6′9″, 235 pounds and he gives it his all at both ends of the basketball court. Gist played in 130 games (89 starts) at Maryland and he averaged 10.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.8 blocked shots per game. He could work his way into the playing rotation at some point next season because of his defense.
