Poll: Who Will Make Spurs Squad?

Jeff McDonald writes for the Express-News:
Five games into the preseason, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich still hasn't trimmed his training camp roster — and might not any time soon.

There are seven players — Anthony Tolliver, Salim Stoudamire, Darryl Watkins, Desmon Farmer, Malik Hairston, Devin Green and Charles Gaines — competing for a maximum of two roster spots.

Popovich has until Oct. 27 to cut the roster to 15. Before Saturday's 106-98 victory over Indiana he offered three reasons why he is in no hurry to do so.

“We want to make sure we're not making a mistake, and we want to make (the players) feel like they've gotten a really good chance to show what they can do,” Popovich said. And thirdly?

“I'm a coward,” he said. “It's hard to tell a young kid who has worked as hard as these guys we're not going to keep you. Until I have to do it, I'm not going to do it.”
Based on what we've seen in five preseason games, who do you think will make the cut?

In the original poll, I mistakenly listed draft pick George Hill, and not veteran Salim Stoudamire.
